Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Eriko Sotarduga said that if they collaborate with PKB to support Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada, their party would offer the East Java gubernatorial seat from PDIP. “For example, in Jakarta, if PKB becomes the gubernatorial candidate. Can PDIP become the gubernatorial candidate in East Java? It’s possible, not a barter, but that’s what cooperation is, we cannot cooperate selfishly, imposing our ego, as we cannot advance alone,” said Eriko at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 25, 2024.

**Proposing Anies** Previously, the Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW) of PKS proposed Anies Baswedan to run as a gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The PKS DPP is requesting the deputy gubernatorial seat. PKS Syuro Council Deputy Chair Hidayat Nur Wahid (HNW) stated that Anies’s name is indeed being discussed externally. Thus, PKS requests that its cadre be Anies’s deputy if the PKS DPP supports Anies. “For example, if Mr. Anies is the gubernatorial candidate from PKS, and he is also nominated by other parties, making him a cross-party candidate, then it is only fair that PKS nominates the deputy governor from PKS,” said HNW during an interview at the PKS DPP office, Jakarta, on Tuesday. He explained the strong reason for the party’s request for the deputy gubernatorial seat. “In the previous period, PKS supported Mr. Anies as the gubernatorial candidate, but the deputy was not from PKS. It is only fair now that PKS gets the deputy position. Once again, PKS is very capable of providing a competent deputy governor,” he stated.

Maximum Effort When asked how optimistic he is about running in the 2024 Pilkada, Dico Ganinduto couldn’t provide a definite answer. He confesses he can only try his hardest and let Allah decide the results. “I believe, as humans, we must strive and make maximum efforts. As much as possible, try with good intentions. We leave the results to Allah,” explained Dico Ganinduto.

“Lumajang is added to this Pilkada because of a significant event in the past,” said Irjen Imam at the East Java Regional Police Headquarters on June 21, 2024. Therefore, according to Inspector General Imam, there will be variations in the safeguarding measures between the Pilkada and the previous election. This will be adapted to the characteristics of each region. “The security patterns will certainly differ; we are currently assessing the IPKP of each region,” said Inspector General Imam. “God willing, in the months of August or September, after the candidate determination, we will understand how to chart the security patterns in each region,” added Sugianto.

One proposal is to endorse Anies Baswedan in the upcoming election in late 2024. “Regarding our friends at PDIP, we are very welcoming of working with PDIP and all parties, not just in DKI, but in different areas as well,” said Johan Daniel in Jakarta on Saturday. On this occasion, PKB, along with the ex-governor of Jakarta, already has the same vision and mission for the Jakarta Pilkada. Therefore, it’s just a matter of time before the party led by Cak Imin, publicly endorses Baswedan. “Anies Baswedan has already mentioned that with PKB, there’s no need for words; we’ve already fought together. So, the formal declaration is just a trivial technicality. The important thing is we are united in vision. Now, we just anticipate the formal announcement,” said Johan. “As for the running mate, that’s up to the Pilkada team to determine, developing everything to a pair, including the deputy. We look forward to the Pilkada desk’s statement,” he finished.

Director of Lingkar Madani (Lima), Ray Rangkuti, expressed surprise at PKS’s resigned move. “I am surprised by PKS. They were very quick. Even before the banana leaf turned yellow, they had already reversed their policy,” said Ray in a written statement on Wednesday. According to Ray, this move by PKS is a sign of PKS’s weakness in negotiation and lobbying. At least, PKS has lost the opportunity twice to place their cadre in the gubernatorial position. “PKS’s weakness is their negotiation and lobbying ability. In the Jakarta political scene, PKS has accepted negotiation defeats at least twice. First, when Mardani Ali Sera was dropped as a deputy gubernatorial candidate and when they lost the right to get the gubernatorial position when Sandiaga ran as a vice-presidential candidate,” explained Ray.

Before entering politics, he continued, Sohibul Iman was known as a technocrat and Muslim scholar. He was involved in the technology sector at the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT). “He is a blend of a skilled bureaucrat, a capable politician, and a respected intellectual in the educational field,” stated Mabruri.

**PKS Offered Deputy Governor Position with Ridwan Kamil** PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu revealed that he received an offer for the deputy gubernatorial position to accompany Ridwan Kamil (RK) in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The offer came from the Indonesian Forward Coalition (KIM) supporting Prabowo-Gibran in the 2024 Presidential Election. “There is that offer, which is why we are analyzing and considering what makes the most sense,” stated Syaikhu during an interview at the PKS DPP office, Jakarta, on Tuesday. However, regarding who PKS will support, Syaikhu said it is not yet final. He mentioned that communication with other parties for the Jakarta Pilkada is still ongoing. “We are continuously communicating to decide who will support Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan along with other parties. Therefore, communication with other parties is not yet final,” he stated. Syaikhu mentioned that communication is being conducted with many parties, not just KIM. Intensive communication continues with their coalition in the 2024 Presidential Election, namely the Change Coalition.
