Deputy Secretary General of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Syaiful Huda, said that the change in stance of PKS, which initially nominated Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial candidate (cagub) and then changed to making him the deputy gubernatorial candidate (cawagub) for Anies Baswedan, is a form of internal confusion within PKS.

Previously, PKS officially endorsed Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman as cagub and deputy gubernatorial candidates for the 2024 DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election. This was announced by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in his speech at the Party Leadership School titled ‘Always Defending the People’ at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday. “The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) in its meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, has decided to endorse Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as cagub and Mr. Sohibul Iman as cawagub candidates,” stated Syaikhu. Syaikhu explained that the DPP PKS decision to nominate Anies and Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub was based on the proposal from the PKS DKI Jakarta Regional Executive Board (Dewan Pimpinan Wilayah). “I have received a letter from the DPW DKI Jakarta structure that has put forward the DKI gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, followed by the DKI deputy gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, which includes a request to approve and confirm Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Mr. Mohammad Sohibul Iman as cagub and cawagub for DKI,” said Syaikhu.

Moreover, for the Jakarta Pilkada, they have not yet reported to the Chairman of PKB, Muhaimin Iskandar, also known as Cak Imin. “It is still at the Pilkada desk level, we have not reported to Cak Imin. For several Pilkada, including Jakarta, we have not yet reported to Cak Imin,” stated. Furthermore, Huda emphasized that the dynamics in the Jakarta Pilkada are still very fluid, even though PKS has already nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman. “We must place everything, especially the Jakarta Pilkada, in a very fluid space. I can still say it hasn’t taken shape, not even with us. In KIM, the figures are still being pulled. This means the Jakarta Pilkada is still very fluid from all sides, from all camps. Including from the KIM camp,” Huda added.

The independent candidate pair was declared ineligible (TMS) in the 2024 Malang City Pilkada by the General Election Commission (Komisi Pemilihan Umum) based on the results of administrative verification. Bawaslu had mediated both parties, but no agreement was reached. Thus, an adjudication hearing was held, using a third party, in this case, Bawaslu Malang City, as the adjudicator. The first hearing was held on Tuesday, with the agenda being the reading of the petitioner’s request and the response from KPU as the respondent.

**PKB Says Not Certain to Support Anies Baswedan** PKB Deputy Secretary General Syaiful Huda emphasized that his party is not certain to support Anies Baswedan in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. This is because PKB still has one more name being considered, namely Ida Fauziyah. “PKB has not yet decided to support Anies, we are considering two names,” said Huda, during an interview at the Parliamentary Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 26.

However, it is considered challenging because he formerly withdrew from his position as deputy governor to contest in the 2019 Presidential Election. This has prompted Sandiaga’s supporters, who are associated with Rumah SandiUno Indonesia (RSI), to make a statement. It is stated that his resignation, currently acting as the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, was for the benefit of the people. “Bang Sandiaga Uno’s political move to withdraw from the position of Deputy Governor at that time was in the interest of the people, especially the residents of Jakarta,” said RSI Secretary General, Denny H Suryo Prabowo, in his statement on Tuesday. He mentioned that Sandiaga is someone who is always fully committed to his work and tasks. “Bang Sandiaga is always willing to undertake duties for the good of the people and the citizens of Indonesia. Whether it was in the 2017 DKI Regional Election and the 2019 Presidential Election, the support for Bang Sandi Uno, who accompanied Pak Prabowo, from the public was also substantial,” Denny stated. In the words of him, Sandiaga’s decision to step down from his position as Deputy Governor was because he did not want to compromise the welfare of the people. “Sandi didn’t want to demonstrate poor conduct for the people by only going on leave from his position as Jakarta deputy governor. He realized that his responsibilities as Jakarta deputy governor were heavy and could not be combined with the equally tough Presidential run,” Denny explained. He mentioned that Sandiaga Uno believed it was unfair to the people if he worked half-heartedly, so he decided to withdraw from his position. “Bang Sandi Uno {felt|believed|thought

According to Huda, another PKS confusion is pairing Anies-Sohibul directly, which he considers a blunder. “The ensuing problem is immediately pairing Mr. Anies and Mr. Sohibul Iman. In my view, that’s a blunder,” stated. Huda said that by pairing Anies with Sohibul, it closes the door for other parties to join in supporting Anies. “This will close the door for other parties to partner and form this coalition,” stated.

“We all must always be ready to establish synergy and cooperation with media colleagues in creating a conducive climate ahead of this simultaneous Pilkada, helping the public to obtain information wisely, balanced, and responsibly,” said Kartiko .
