PKB Chairman, D. Johan, appreciated the PDIP’s interest in collaborating for the 2024 Jakarta Gubernatorial Election (Pilgub).

**Prepare Alternatives** The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) nominated PKS Deputy Chair of the Syuro Council Mohamad Sohibul Iman as a prospective gubernatorial candidate for the Special Capital Region of Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada. Regarding this, political analyst Adi Prayitno sees this as a reasonable move. He noted that in addition to being a cadre party, PKS also has high voter support in Jakarta. “I think it is quite rational for PKS to nominate their internal cadre, Sohibul Iman, to run in the Jakarta Pilgub. There are two reasons: first, PKS is a cadre party that has always put forward its cadres to compete in Pilkada, not only in Jakarta but also in other regions,” he said to Liputan6.com on Monday. “The second reason is the significant increase in PKS’s legislative vote count in 2024, making them the highest vote-winner in Jakarta. These two variables explain why PKS proposed their internal cadre,” he added.

Eman, with his long experience in bureaucracy, is seen as the ideal candidate to enhance Majalengka. This was expressed by Political Analyst from Bandung Islamic University, Fuady M. E.. He said that E. Suherman, the Majalengka Sekda has very important resources to run for Majalengka regent. According to him, the opportunity for Eman of being chosen as the next Regent of Majalengka are very possible. “This can be a very important resource because experience is priceless,” said M. E. Fuady in a formal announcement, June 9, 2024. According to him, there is a transition in trends in the 2024 Pilkada. M. E. Fuady said that incumbents are currently not being highly regarded by Indonesian society. On the contrary, he said, figures emerging from the bureaucracy, like administrative heads, are refreshing the political contests in the country. “I notice that in various regions, many regional secretaries are running for office. This demonstrates that they have expertise in managing government functions and good corporate governance (GCG),” explained Fuady.

Hasyim added that in the 2024 Regional Elections, the KPU RI will also adopt special polling stations to ensure the fulfillment of voting rights for citizens. “To ensure that our citizens within the designated electoral areas can still vote, such as workers in plantations and mines who cannot return to their TPS at the address on their ID cards, special location TPS will be prepared,” Hasyim emphasized.

On the other hand, with Sohibul Iman running, Adi also noted that PKS might be aiming to partner with Anies Baswedan. “At the same time, PKS is certainly preparing Sohibul Iman to potentially partner with Anies Baswedan. PKS is quite closely associated with Anies Baswedan. This seems to be PKS’s goal, not to lose momentum as the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta and to ensure their cadre is proposed either as governor or deputy governor,” he stated.

One possibility is to support Baswedan Anies in the upcoming election in November. “Regarding our partners at PDIP, we are very welcoming of working with PDIP and all parties, not just in DKI, but in various regions as well,” said Johan Daniel in Jakarta on June 8, 2024. On this occasion, PKB, along with the ex-governor of Jakarta, already has the same vision and goals for the Jakarta Pilkada. Therefore, it’s just a matter of time before the party led by Iskandar Muhaimin, officially backs Baswedan. “Anies Baswedan has already mentioned that with PKB, there’s no need for words; we’ve already worked together. So, the official statement is just a small technicality. The main point is we are aligned in our vision. Now, we just wait for the surprise announcement,” said Daniel. “As for the vice governor, that’s up to the Pilkada committee to determine, working on everything to a duet, including the deputy. We look forward to the Pilkada desk’s decision,” he ended.

Track Record Muhammad Fuady described that Eman’s track record in the Majalengka bureaucracy has indeed been demonstrated. He pointed out one of the breakthroughs of Eman was launching the Decent Housing Initiative in partnership with the Scouts and Baznas of Majalengka. “Not only that, Suherman also dedicates considerable attention to the younger generation in Majalengka. His attention to the younger generation is expressed through concrete measures such as the renewal of the Warung Jambu Stadium, the highlight of Majalengka residents,” described M. E. Fuady. Therefore, Fuady thinks that Eman is the regent candidate who understands the situation of the Majalengka community the best. Moreover, he said, Eman, who is also a son of Majalengka, is the most preferred regent candidate in the 2024 Majalengka Pilkada. “They are also usually hometown individuals and know exactly how to communicate with constituents in their respective regions or the public in their areas,” explained M. E. Fuady.

This announcement was made by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in his speech at the Party Leadership School titled ‘Continuing to Defend the People’ at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. “The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) in its meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, has decided to endorse Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as the prospective governor and Mr. Sohibul Iman as the prospective deputy governor,” said Syaikhu. He explained that the decision by the PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) to nominate Anies and Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub was based on the proposal from the PKS DKI Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW). “I have received a letter from the DPW DKI Jakarta structure that has proposed the DKI gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, followed by the DKI deputy gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, requesting approval and establishment of Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Mr. Mohammad Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates,” stated Syaikhu.
