Anies Baswedan, the former presidential candidate number 1, responded to the speculation about teaming up with Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, also known as Ahok, in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu explained the reason his party decided not to nominate PKS Syuro Council Chairman Sohibul Iman as the prospective gubernatorial candidate for Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada. Instead, Sohibul was decided to run as the prospective vice-gubernatorial candidate for Jakarta. The position of the prospective gubernatorial candidate was given to Anies Baswedan, who is the former Governor of DKI Jakarta for the 2017-2022 period. “I think PKS is also realistic about the nominations in DKI, and this is the best composition,” said Syaikhu at the Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (25/6/2024).

The event was attended by KPU RI Chairman Hasyim Asy’ari, Secretary General Bernad Dermawan Sutrisno, and members Idham Holik and Yulianto Sudrajat. Representatives from the KPU of 38 provinces throughout Indonesia, as well as officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Bawaslu, DKPP, and other related agencies, were also in attendance.

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 nominated either as governor or deputy governor,” he explained.

This was declared by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu during his speech at the Party Leadership School event titled ‘Continuing to Defend the People’ at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday (25/6/2024).

Nonetheless, the specific date for the next Mukernas, essential for going over such alliances, continues to be unsure. “If it comes to deciding, it typically starts with the everyday board, followed by a greater council, be it the National Management Satisfying (Rapimnas) or Mukernas,” Uskara explained.

PKS is open to forming a coalition with the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) after officially nominating Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial and vice-gubernatorial candidates for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. “Yes, it is very possible (to form a coalition with PDIP),” said Syaikhu at the opening of the Party Leadership School at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (25/6/2024).

**Anticipate Offers for PKS** Adi also sees this as PKS’s effort to anticipate offers from the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), which is serious about proposing Ridwan Kamil for Jakarta. “At the same time, PKS is a political party highly sought after by other contestants to be their vice-candidate. For example, there was an offer from the KIM camp for PKS to be Ridwan Kamil’s running mate. In this context, PKS is deliberately proposing their cadre to anticipate serious offers to be Ridwan Kamil’s running mate,” he said.

Previously, Vice President Ma’ruf Amin requested the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia) to provide education through positive and neutral broadcasts during the simultaneous Pilkada on November 27, 2024. According to Ma’ruf, this is to ensure the public receives credible information and to reduce the spread of false information or hoaxes related to the 2024 Pilkada.

“Specifically for the TNI, Polri, and BIN. BIN was present earlier, in the mapping of areas, potential conflict areas must be identified for anticipation if security disturbances occur, we must mitigate before disturbances happen to avoid disrupting the 2024 Pilkada,” said Hadi. “The TNI, Polri, and BIN must be skilled, knowing before it happens, so it can be mitigated,” he added.

**Role as Supervisor** He hopes that KPI maintains and upholds the broadcasting media as a supervisor of government operations. “I ask that the future broadcasting law draft should be directed in line with the ideals of a democratic country that upholds the nation’s character and the noble values of Pancasila. The future existence of KPI must be stronger, so it can perform its functions optimally, representing the public interest, maintaining national morality, and strengthening the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI),” said Ma’ruf.

Additionally, he mentioned that the party also considered various inputs from figures, clerics, religious leaders, cross-sect leaders, scholars, and the public in Jakarta. “The main aspects considered were candidates with good leadership experience in both the executive and legislative branches, a proven track record, credibility, capacity, and a high probability of winning,” he said. Furthermore, Syaikhu believes that the Anies-Sohibul Iman pair is a good match. According to Syaikhu, they complement each other for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. “Some have already coined the acronym AMAN (Anies-Sohibul Iman). Whatever the name, Anies-Sohibul Iman has the qualifications to complement each other and lead DKI Jakarta,” said Syaikhu.
