**PKS: 2 Coalitions in Jakarta Pilkada More Attractive, Higher Winning Chances** PKS Spokesperson Pipin Sopian stated that the party prefers two coalitions for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. This is because the chances of winning are greater as the election will not go to two rounds. “Yes, actually, 2 coalitions or 3 coalitions are interesting. For us, 2 coalitions are more attractive, the chances of our candidate winning are greater. If there are 3 coalitions, it might go to 2 rounds, we also calculate that,” said Pipin at the Sahid Hotel, Jakarta, on Monday. Pipin stated that the opportunity to form a new coalition for the Jakarta gubernatorial election is still open. However, this needs to be discussed with other political parties. “All opportunities exist, well, I think we are only 1 party out of several parties, so we certainly have to talk together,” he said.

Furthermore, Syaikhu is confident that the Anies-Sohibul Iman pair is a good match. According to Syaikhu, they complement each other well for the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election. “There is already a nickname for them, AMAN (Anies-Sohibul Iman). Whatever the name, (Anies-Sohibul Iman) have strong qualifications, are compatible, and can complement each other in leading Jakarta,” said Syaikhu.

**PKS Invites NasDem and PKB to Support Anies-Sohibul Iman Pair** Ahmad Syaikhu will ask other political parties (parpol) to support the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman duo in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. According to Syaikhu, his party still lacks the seats needed to nominate gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates in the Jakarta Pilkada. “Therefore, we have already communicated with our coalition from the previous presidential election,” said Syaikhu. In the 2024 presidential election, PKS joined a coalition with the NasDem Party and the National Awakening Party (Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa) to nominate the number one pair Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN). According to Syaikhu, he has communicated with NasDem Party Chairman Surya Paloh. Syaikhu stated that Surya Paloh welcomed the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair positively. “Praise be to God, Mr. Surya Paloh also gave a positive signal for this nomination,” explained Syaikhu. Communication, Syaikhu continued, will soon be extended to other political parties, including with PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin). “He (Cak Imin) is on a flight, so God willing, we will communicate after this. We will talk and visit PKB too, hopefully we can unite in endorsing leadership in DKI Jakarta,” said Syaikhu.

**PKS to Invite PDIP to Support Anies-Sohibul Iman Pair** Additionally, Syaikhu mentioned that PKS is also open to forming a coalition with PDIP to jointly endorse the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman duo in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. “Yes, it is very possible (a coalition with PDIP) if we invite other parties to endorse this pair,” said Syaikhu. However, Syaikhu admitted that he has not yet communicated with PDIP regarding the Jakarta Pilkada. If you liked this information and you would such as to receive more details regarding polarizing figure kindly browse through the website. “I haven’t communicated officially,” he stated. Even so, Syaikhu stressed that his party will first fight for the Anies and PKS internal cadre Sohibul Iman pair for the Jakarta Pilkada. “God willing, this (Anies-Sohibul Iman) is what we will fight for until registration at KPUD,” said Syaikhu.

Anies, who is currently abroad, expressed his gratitude through a post on his personal Instagram page @aniesbaswedan on June 26, 2024. “I am currently traveling, so please allow me to share this recording to express my gratitude and appreciation for PKS’s decision today as announced by Mr. PKS President,” stated Anies. Anies stated that he will discuss with PKS leaders to talk about further steps and follow-up actions for the Jakarta gubernatorial election (Pilgub) once he returns to the homeland. “The same goes for the other party leaders. We have struggled together in Jakarta as well as at the national level with PKS, Insyaallah, we will continue to struggle together in the future,” stated Anies. Anies believes that besides PKB and PKS, other political parties (parties) will also support his run in the Jakarta Pilkada. He is determined to restore Jakarta to a advanced city. “Alhamdulillah, after PKB and PKS, God willing, other parties will also struggle together to restore Jakarta to a developed city with content citizens. Greetings to the entire PKS family,” said Anies. It is known that Anies is currently on vacation in Spain when PKS formally announced his nomination for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The moment in Spain was seen from Anies’s social media post showing him visiting the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, the capital of Spain. Anies is scheduled to be abroad for two weeks.

Previously, Deputy Chairman of the Gerindra Party, Habiburokhman, assessed that the Anies-Muhaimin candidate pair endorsed by PKS is also not yet certain to run in the Jakarta Pilkada. “Actually, the PKS declaration yesterday has not met the quota for candidacy, so we do not yet count Anies and Sohibul as definitive candidates,” said Habiburokhman at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday.
