Golkar will endorse Sekar Krisnauli Tanjung, the daughter of Akbar T., to stand in the Pilkada Solo.

This was announced by Golkar Chairman, A. Hartarto, after performing Eid al-Adha prayers at the mosque of Golkar DPP, Monday (17/6/2024). “In the Solo Pilkada, Akbar Tanjung’s daughter will be endorsed by the Golkar Party, Sekar Tanjung, who is also young,” Hartarto told reporters. S. Tanjung is currently the Chairwoman of the Solo Regional Leadership Council (DPD) of the Golkar Party. She is set to run in the Solo Pilkada to replace President Joko Widodo’s eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who has been chosen as VP for the 2024-2029 period. Golkar is optimistic in endorsing Akbar Tanjung’s youngest child. During her career, Krisnauli Tanjung had a stint in journalism at ABC in 2017. In 2019, she became part of the campaign team for Prabowo and Sandiaga.

Syaikhu stated that PKS needs to build communication with other political parties (parpol) including NasDem to meet the requirements for nominating a governor and deputy governor in the Jakarta Pilkada. “PKS realizes it cannot nominate a candidate alone in the Pilkada because the number of seats we have does not yet meet the requirement to nominate independently, we only have 18 seats, while the requirement is 22. So we still need 4 more seats,” he said. After NasDem, PKS will soon build communication with the Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Muhaimin Iskandar, or Cak Imin to build a coalition in the Jakarta Pilkada. “InsyAllah in the coming time I will also try to communicate with PKB, with Cak Imin,” he said.

**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 June 25. Pipin mentioned 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.

KPU Banyuwangi member for the Division of Voter Education, Community Participation, and Human Resources, Enot Sugiharto, announced that the pantarlih have been carrying out their duties from 24 June until 24 July. Enot mentioned that in performing their duties, pantarlih should not work merely at their desks but must go directly to the field by visiting local residents’ homes. “The goal is to ensure that the voter data for the upcoming Pilkada on November 27 is truly valid,” he said on Wednesday.

PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu mentioned that the Chairman of the Nasdem Party, Surya Paloh, gave a positive signal towards this pair. “I continue to build political communication with the NasDem Party, specifically I made a point to visit Mr. Surya Paloh, and alhamdulillah, I was warmly received and got a positive signal to build cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada,” said Syaikhu at the Sahid Hotel, Jakarta, on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Sohibul Iman, according to Syaikhu, is a scholar. He mentioned that Sohibul also has an impressive track record in government. “Mr. Sohibul Iman is a technocrat, also a scholar who was once the rector of Paramadina University. He has experience in the legislature as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) for the 2013-2014 period and was once the president of PKS for the 2015-2020 period,” explained Syaikhu. Syaikhu mentioned that PKS is a cadre party that has a mandate to carry out political cadre regeneration and leadership regeneration. Therefore, he stated, in this simultaneous Pilkada 2024, the party will nominate its cadre to run as a regional head candidate. “Especially in the base areas where PKS is the winning party or has a majority of DPRD seats. PKS will strive to nominate its own cadre as a candidate,” said Syaikhu.

**Prepare Comparative Data** For this reason, she suggested that subdistrict election supervisors should prepare comparative data to be matched with the data of the subdistrict election committee (PPK). To accommodate input from the community, during the coklit phase, all subdistrict election supervisors in Banyuwangi have been instructed to set up posts to safeguard voting rights and community complaint posts, either through social media, hotlines, or local offices. Additionally, she mentioned that it is equally important for subdistrict election supervisors to regularly conduct patrols to safeguard voting rights. “If any suspected violations by pantarlih are found, subdistrict election supervisors must issue a recommendation letter for correction through the PPK,” she concluded.

He mentioned that during the post-election period, there have been several changes in voter data due to various factors. “There have indeed been changes in the data. For instance, some residents have passed away. Additionally, there are residents who were not of age in the last election but will be 17 years old for this Pilkada,” he added. Therefore, Enot emphasized that such conditions require re-data collection through pantarlih. “This is done to ensure that the final voter list for the Pilkada is truly valid and accurate,” he clarified.
