Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) shifted direction by endorsing Anies Baswedan as the gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada while its own cadre, Sohibul Iman, is only nominated as the deputy governor candidate. > 커뮤니티 카카오소프트 홈페이지 방문을 환영합니다.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Said Abdullah mentioned that he had visited Cak Imin's residence to discuss cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada. Said mentioned that PKB is ready to nominate Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. "We visited the PKB General Chair's house, I remember it was after Friday prayers on May 30 before going to Mecca. We talked heart-to-heart, building communication among elites, sharing views," Said clarified. During the meeting, Said admitted, PKB has a strong opportunity to nominate Anies in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. "As far as I know from PKB, if I’m not mistaken, they are ready to nominate Anies Rasyid Baswedan," he stated. Said mentioned that the meeting's results with Cak Imin had been reported to PDIP Secretary-General Hasto Kristiyanto and PDIP DPP Chairperson Puan Maharani. He said he would also report the view to Chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri. "Not necessarily with PDIP, we share views, not seeking agreement. My task is to report to Mbak Puan and Mr. Secretary-General," said Said. "Maybe later there will be a meeting with the Chairperson to discuss the results of every lobby or mutual visits among elites," he continued.

One option is to endorse A. Baswedan in the forthcoming election in November 2024. "Regarding our colleagues at PDIP, we are very receptive to working with PDIP and all parties, not just in DKI, but in different areas as well," said Johan Daniel in Jakarta on Saturday (8/6/2024). 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 Cak Imin, publicly supports Baswedan. "Pak Anies has already explained that with PKB, there's no need for words; we've already collaborated. So, the formal declaration is just a minor technicality. The main point is we are sharing the same vision. Now, we just anticipate the surprise announcement," said D. Johan. "As for the vice governor, that's up to the Pilkada desk to decide, developing everything to a pair, including the deputy. We await the Pilkada desk's statement," he concluded.

Head of Lingkar Madani (Lima), Mr. Rangkuti, expressed surprise at PKS's passive move. "I am surprised by PKS. They were very quick. Even before the banana leaf turned yellow, they had already reversed their policy," said Ray in a written statement on June 26, 2024. According to Ray, this move by PKS is a sign of PKS's weakness in negotiation and lobbying. At least, PKS has lost the opportunity twice to place their cadre in the gubernatorial position. "PKS's weakness is their negotiation and lobbying ability. In the Jakarta political scene, PKS has accepted negotiation defeats at least twice. First, when Mardani Ali Sera was dropped as a deputy gubernatorial candidate and when they lost the right to get the gubernatorial position when Sandiaga ran as a vice-presidential candidate," clarified Ray.

Anies feels that something has been missing from Jakarta and stated that what has been removed needs to be restored. "Restoring what has been lost, restoring what has been diminished, and restoring what has been cut," said Anies

**Puan Says PDIP Considers Nominating Anies Baswedan in Jakarta Pilkada** The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) is considering the name Anies Baswedan to be nominated in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The decision to consider nominating the former presidential candidate as Jakarta's gubernatorial candidate came after PDIP DPP Chairperson Said Abdullah met with PKB General Chair Muhaimin Iskandar, also known as Cak Imin, to discuss cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada. "The existing names will be reviewed later. All names are considered," said PDIP DPP Chairperson Puan Maharani at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday. Besides the Jakarta Pilkada, Puan also admitted they are considering figures for the East Java Pilkada. "We communicate all names and also try to simulate them because each region has its own peculiarities. So all names need to be considered," she stated.

Moreover, the decision to nominate Anies-Iman is primarily a result of public criticism suggesting that nominating Sohibul Iman was not a strategic move. "The name Sohibul Iman clearly lacks appeal in Jakarta. This situation gave Anies's supporters within PKS the opportunity to push for the Anies-Iman pair," he said. Thus, Ray believes there were no external circumstances compelling PKS to hastily declare Anies-Iman. The declaration of Anies-Iman does not benefit Anies's position at all. "Pairing Anies-Iman is like pairing two brothers. Anies's voters are PKS supporters. PKS supporters' idol is Anies. So, there is no added value for this pair. They are just circling within their own inner circle," explained Ray. This situation, Ray said, provides a fresh opportunity for other candidates who can accommodate Jakarta's pluralism to confidently enter the Jakarta Pilkada. "Anies needs another figure who strengthens his identity beyond just one circle. The face of Jakarta is plural. Candidates should accommodate Jakarta's pluralistic face in their pair selection. Broadening, not narrowing. Opening up, not closing down. Therefore, this situation provides a fresh breeze for other candidates to confidently enter Jakarta," Ray closed.
