The Chairman of the Regional Leadership Council (DPW) of the National Awakening Party (Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa) DKI Jakarta, Hasbiallah Ilyas, announced that his party will continue to support Anies Baswedan as the gubernatorial candidate (calon gubernur) for Jakarta in 2024.

PKB Jakarta proposes the duo of Anies Baswedan and the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) as well as a politician from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), Prasetyo Edi Marsudi, for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. Besides Prasetyo Edi, Hasbiallah mentioned that Anies could also be paired with the Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Kaesang Pangarep or the Acting (Pj) Governor of DKI Jakarta, Heru Budi Hartono.

Huda reminded that the Jakarta Pilkada is very fluid and nothing is fixed, including for PKS, even though it won the Jakarta legislative election but cannot nominate alone. “Nominating two figures simultaneously as both governor and deputy governor candidates is a political party’s privilege with a golden ticket, having 20 percent. We know our friends at PKS won the last legislative election but haven’t surpassed 20 percent as they only have 18 seats while 20 percent requires 22 seats,” he said. “So, in my opinion, this model of monopolizing figures for a party that does not meet and does not have a golden ticket is dangerous, it’s dangerous,” he concluded.

According to Huda, another PKS dilemma is immediately pairing Anies-Sohibul, which he views as a blunder. “The problem is that they immediately paired Mas Anies and Mas Sohibul Iman. In my view, it’s a blunder,” he said. Huda mentioned that pairing Anies with Sohibul closes the door for other parties to join in supporting Anies. “This will close the door for other parties to partner and form a coalition,” he stated.

President of PKS Syaikhu Ahmad detailed the reasons for endorsing Baswedan and Iman for the Jakarta governor race in 2024. Baswedan is seen as a competent leader during his term as Jakarta Governor. According to Syaikhu, Anies’ tenure has brought happiness to Jakarta residents. “Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan efficiently acted as governor from 2017-2022 with various achievements in multiple sectors of progress, improving the city and satisfying its populace,” said Syaikhu at the commencement of the School of Party Leadership at the Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel, Central Jakarta, If you liked this information along with you would want to be given details regarding jabatan pilkada 2020 Diperpanjang i implore you to visit our page. on Tuesday (25/6/2024). Meanwhile, Sohibul Iman, Syaikhu mentioned, is a scholar with a notable experience in government. “Mr. Sohibul Iman is a technocrat and a scholar who has served as the rector of Paramadina University. He worked in the legislature as Deputy Speaker of the DPR RI for the 2013-2014 session and was also the president of PKS from 2015-2020,” clarified Syaikhu.

Many Figures Furthermore, the Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Minister, A. Azwar Anas, is also seen as a potential candidate for East Java governor. “Then who else, Minister Abdullah Azwar Anas, former Banyuwangi Regent. If he can in Jakarta, why not in East Java?” said Sotarduga. As for the vice-governor candidate, Sotarduga said that PDI-P also has many potential candidates. They include Vice Chair of PDIP DPD Jatim Budi Kanang Sulistyono and Regent of Kediri Hanindhito Himawan Pramana. “For the deputy position in East Java, there are even more. There’s Mas Kanang, Mas Dito. Many more local officials there,” he added.

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,” he said. Furthermore, Huda stated 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,” he added.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairman Said Abdullah admitted that he had visited Cak Imin’s residence to discuss cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada. Said mentioned that PKB is already set on nominating Anies Baswedan for the Jakarta gubernatorial election. “We went to the PKB Chairman’s house, I remember it was after Friday prayers on May 30 before departing for Mecca. We had a heart-to-heart talk, as communication is definitely built among the elites, sharing views and perspectives,” said Said.

If this happens, the two parties will prepare an opponent for the Khofifah and Emil Dardak. “Perhaps we can work together with PKB in East Java, right,” Eriko told journalists at the parliamentary complex, Jakarta’s Senayan, Monday. He showed confidence about the strength of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle and Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa in East Java, as both parties possess numerous DPRD seats. “The winner in East Java now is PKB, and in the last period, we were the winners. So, if the current period’s winner and the last period’s winner come together, why not?” he said.
