Furthermore, HNW revealed that potential PKS cadres to be Anies's deputy include PKS DKI Jakarta DPW Chair Khoirudin, PKS elected DPR RI member candidates, and Gamal Albinsaid. "However, all of this is still fluid, and the PKS DPP is still observing all developments to make a decision soon," he stated.

Political observer Budiman from Mulawarman University (Unmul) stated that candidates running in the East Kalimantan Regional Election should be transparent. "Prospective regents in the East Kalimantan Regional Election must be transparent and free from money politics," he remarked.

Taking into account these issues, there is a solid require openness in the electoral process. Making sure that all candidates fulfill the needed requirements, protecting the freedom of regional officials, and supporting the sanctity of social welfare programs are important actions in the direction of recovering faith in the electoral system.

Kaka Suminta emphasized that to prevent any allegations of lobbying by prospective regent and deputy regent pairs regarding administrative verification, the central KPU must step in. "There needs to be supervision from the central KPU," stated Kaka. He added that to avert any clandestine attempts at committing fraud during administrative verification, the central KPU should enforce strict oversight. "If pairs do not pass administrative verification, they should not be given any leeway that could damage democracy," he said.

"As the winning party in Jakarta, PKS has decided to advocate for its best cadre as the candidate for Governor of Jakarta. The candidate we are nominating is Mohamad Sohibul Iman, who currently serves as the Deputy Chair of the PKS Syuro Council," said Mabruri in his statement on June 23, 2024. Mabruri added that Sohibul Iman is a figure with considerable capacity. Sohibul Iman led PKS during the 2015-2020 period. "This means he has proven leadership in elevating PKS. He also has a long track record in the political arena," clarified Mabruri.

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 explained.

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 Tuesday. "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," stated Syaikhu. He explained that the decision by the PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) to endorse 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 nominated 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.

The concerns raised by Baswedan highlight considerable challenges facing Indonesia's autonomous system. Resolving these issues calls for a cumulative initiative from all fields of society to ensure that the electoral process is conducted with integrity, fairness, and respect for autonomous values.

**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 nominating 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 nominating their cadre to anticipate serious offers to be Ridwan Kamil's running mate," he explained.

Baswedan goes on to define disturbing methods where local authorities deal with stress and are used incentives to affect the instructions of political selections. This manipulation not just threatens the autonomy of local managements however also casts a shadow over the autonomous process.

**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 stated to Liputan6.com on June 24, 2024. "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 continued.
