Syaikhu explained that the decision of the PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) to nominate Anies and Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election was based on suggestions from the PKS Jakarta Regional Leadership Board (DPW). “I have received a letter from the DPW DKI Jakarta structure that has proposed the DKI gubernatorial candidate to the PKS DPP, followed by the vice-gubernatorial candidate for DKI to the PKS DPP. Among the letters, there is a request to endorse, approve, and designate Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Mr. Mohammad Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial and vice-gubernatorial candidates for Jakarta,” said Syaikhu.
According to Syaikhu, PKS needs to form a coalition with other political parties to support Anies-Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. “We will invite various other parties to support this pair,” he said. However, Syaikhu admitted that there has been no communication with PDIP leadership regarding the Jakarta Pilkada so far. “Officially, I haven’t (communicated with PDIP),” he said.
Meanwhile, Esa Unggul University political communication analyst M. Jamiluddin Ritonga believes that in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada, PKS will still form a coalition with the National Awakening Party (PKB) and the NasDem Party, which will likely propose Anies Baswedan. Added to that, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), which is interested in nominating Anies in the Jakarta Pilkada. However, another possibility might occur if the deputy gubernatorial position for Anies is not given to PKS. It is predicted that PKS will cross over to the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), which will propose Ridwan Kamil. “PKS will hope to get the deputy gubernatorial position by joining KIM. If PKS is accepted by KIM, there is a possibility that Sohibul Iman will accompany Ridwan Kamil,” stated Jamil. “However, this possibility is very small if Kaesang Pangarep runs in the Jakarta Pilgub. KIM would certainly prefer Kaesang over Sohibul Iman as Ridwan Kamil’s running mate,” Jamil continued. If that happens, according to Jamil, PKB and NasDem might join PDIP to nominate Anies as gubernatorial candidate, with the deputy gubernatorial candidate from PDIP. “In the Jakarta Pilgub, it seems that there will be a confrontation between two coalitions. The Change Coalition plus PDIP will nominate Anies and a PDIP cadre, while KIM is more likely to propose Ridwan Kamil-Kaesang,” stated Jamil. “If this happens, PKS might end up empty-handed. PKS will have the possibility of not getting anything in the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub,” stated the former Dean of FIKIM IISIP Jakarta.
“Should Mr. Ridwan Kamil runs in West Java, PKB will create its own alliance,” stated Huda at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday. Regarding the chance of forming a coalition with PDIP in West Java, Huda admitted that there has been no formal communication. However, PKB and PDIP have shared information. “There hasn’t been communication with Kang Ono. There has been an exchange of information but not yet reached the stage of discussing whether to meet or not. So it hasn’t reached that stage yet. PKB’s interest for West Java is to announce a coalition first, not focus on the candidate, so for now, the figure is not PKB West Java’s concern,” he said. However, he wishes that the coalition they build will have compatibility so that in the next few weeks it can be announced. “We will form a coalition with the same chemistry, hopefully it can be announced in the coming weeks,” he added.
**Former Anies Spokesperson Praises Sohibul Iman, Criticizes Jakarta Pilkada as Stepping Stone to 2029 Presidential Election** Former Co-Captain of the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN) Winning Team, Sudirman Said, supports the PKS DPP’s decision to nominate Sohibul Iman as the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. Sohibul Iman’s capacity and integrity are proven, so there is no doubt about his ability to lead Jakarta in the future. “Certainly, friends and cadres in the PKS Faction in the DKI DPRD will be good sources and provide good input, given their daily legislative, budgetary, and oversight duties in Jakarta Province,” said Sudirman, as quoted by Antara, on Monday, June 24, 2024. According to the former Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Sohibul Iman has a wide network among professionals and businesspeople.

Therefore, he believes Sohibul will quickly receive the necessary input. Additionally, Sudirman Said believes that Sohibul is the right person to lead Jakarta because he will work with focus. So far, Sudirman has not seen any aspirations for Sohibul to advance to a higher political competition, such as the presidential election. Sudirman also reminds the public to choose gubernatorial candidates who genuinely want to manage Jakarta towards becoming a global city while addressing its complex problems. “I see Jakarta in an important transformation process. The next Jakarta governor must be 100 percent focused. Do not make Jakarta merely a political stage, especially a stepping stone to the 2029 presidential election,” stated the former spokesperson for Anies Baswedan.
