The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) is considering the name Anies Baswedan to be nominated in the 2024 Jakarta regional elections (Pilkada).

**78th Bhayangkara Anniversary Event at Polda Banten** In celebration of the 78th Bhayangkara Anniversary, Polda Banten, along with all police precincts in its jurisdiction, held various events such as home renovations, providing bore wells, mass circumcisions, blood donations, free health check-ups, and distributing thousands of basic food aid packages. Additionally, in Serang City, there were motorcycle races, a people’s market, and entertainment stages for the youth. “The concept of this celebration, as seen earlier, is to try to get closer to the community. In other words, the police are the community, and we are also part of the community,” he stated.

The social service and free medical treatment conducted by Polda Banten and all the police precincts in its jurisdiction during the 78th Bhayangkara Anniversary are also an opportunity to implement a cooling system and encourage the community to maintain order until the 2024 Pilkada process is completed. “So before we face the regional elections, we must be able to communicate with the community through social activities, so that the community can truly anticipate and understand the potential vulnerabilities,” he clarified.

**Sohibul Iman Not at the Same Level as Anies and Ridwan Kamil** According to Jamiluddin, Sohibul Iman is not a suitable choice for the Jakarta gubernatorial race. His popularity and electability are far below the names that have already surfaced, especially Anies Baswedan and Ridwan Kamil. This can be seen from several survey institutions that have released their results. “Given that Sohibul Iman does not yet have electability, his market value is very low on paper. Therefore, Sohibul Iman is not a worthy opponent for Anies Baswedan,” stated Jamil. “Comparing Sohibul Iman with Anies in the Jakarta Pilgub is like comparing night and day. Sohibul Iman’s level is not comparable to Anies’s level,” Jamil added. Jamil assesses that PKS is very daring if they truly nominate Sohibul Iman as the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. Although Jamil acknowledges Sohibul Iman’s proven political career and loyalty to the party, his popularity and electability are hurdles if forced to run as Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. “Therefore, he is not suitable to be nominated as a gubernatorial candidate. PKS’s party machinery does not seem capable of significantly boosting Sohibul Iman’s popularity and electability. It will be very difficult to even approach Anies Baswedan and Ridwan Kamil’s popularity and electability,” stated Jamil. “PKS is too confident and daring without considering its cadre’s capacity to win in the Jakarta Pilkada,” Jamil stated.

Unexpectedly, the Islamic party announced Mohamad Sohibul Iman as the Jakarta gubernatorial candidate, while two well-known names, Anies Baswedan and Ridwan Kamil, were frequently mentioned in the news. As the winning party in the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta, PKS feels entitled and well-positioned to nominate its own cadre. “As the winning party (legislative elections) in Jakarta, PKS has decided to fight for its best cadre as the Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. The candidate we are nominating is Mohamad Sohibul Iman, who currently serves as the Deputy Chair of the PKS Syuro Council,” stated PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) Spokesperson Ahmad Mabruri on Sunday, June 23, 2024. “We have decided that we will nominate Mohamad Sohibul Iman, former PKS President, former Deputy Speaker of the DPR RI, and former Rector of Paramadina University. With whom PKS and Mr. Sohibul Iman will pair, we will see based on the coalition composition that forms,” Mabruri continued.

Meanwhile, Esa Unggul University political communication analyst M. Jamiluddin Ritonga assesses 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 nominate Anies Baswedan. Added to that, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), which is interested in proposing 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 nominate Ridwan Kamil.

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 propose 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.
