The Deputy Secretary General of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Sy…

"Mr. Ahok and Mr. Djarot are being urged to run in North Sumatra. This is interesting because North Sumatra needs significant changes," said Eriko at the PDIP DPP Office, Central Jakarta, as quoted on Friday (17/5/2024).

Besides Ahok, Rapidin mentioned several other names have registered with PDIP to run for the North Sumatra gubernatorial election. These include incumbent Edy Rahmayadi and Musa Rajekshah, also known as Ijeck.

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," stated Syaikhu.

**Prepare Alternatives** The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) proposed 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 propose 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 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.

One option is to endorse Baswedan Anies in the upcoming election in November. "Regarding our partners at PDIP, we are very receptive to working with PDIP and all parties, not just in DKI, but in other regions as well," said Daniel Johan in Jakarta on Saturday (8/6/2024). On this occasion, PKB, along with the former governor of DKI Jakarta, already holds the same goals and objectives for the Jakarta Pilkada. Therefore, it's just a matter of time before the party led by Cak Imin, officially supports A. Baswedan. "Baswedan has already stated that with PKB, there's no need for words; we've already worked together. So, the official statement is just a minor technicality. The key issue is we are united in vision. Now, we just anticipate the surprise announcement," said Daniel. "As for the deputy, that's up to the Pilkada committee to decide, working on everything to a pair, including the deputy. We anticipate the Pilkada desk's decision," he ended.

**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 said.

"If the party instructs, I am ready to go anywhere, even Papua. That is the answer of a true cadre. All PDIP cadres must be ready to go anywhere if the party commands," Rapidin recounted Ahok's response.

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 nominate Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as the prospective governor and Mr. Sohibul Iman as the prospective deputy governor," said Syaikhu. He clarified 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," said Syaikhu.

Usually, the Pilkada is conducted in two phases, specifically the regional elections and the legal dispute process at the Constitutional Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi). "Usually, if the Pilkada is held twice, it means what? That means initially conducted locally, and then at the MK," said Hadi while giving guidance in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on June 26th. "That's why the TNI-Polri must be vigilant about safeguarding during the actual Pilkada and during the MK sessions, ensuring the readiness of the TNI-Polri forces to secure the regions," he continued. Hadi expects the 2024 Pilkada stages will proceed smoothly and safely without any obstacles in their implementation. Additionally, post-Pilkada safety must also be guaranteed. Hadi continued that political and legal stability is essential. He believes, the state and condition of Polhukam stability will greatly influence the Pilkada stages. "We concur that all components of the nation and state need to maintain political, legal, and security stability for the 2024 Pilkada," he ended. Anticipating Conflict Before the 2024 Pilkada Hadi Tjahjanto provided a special instruction to the TNI, Polri, and BIN for the security of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada. Hadi urged that regions with potential conflicts must be addressed before security issues occur. He stated this while giving instructions in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on June 26th, 2024. "Particularly TNI, Polri, and BIN. BIN was also attending, in the identification of regions, must determine regions with potential conflicts to anticipate security issues before they occur," said Hadi. "TNI, Polri, and BIN have to be alert, aware beforehand, so that they can anticipate any potential issues," he continued. Furthermore, Hadi called for collaboration from local governments in facilitating the 2024 Pilkada organization. If local governments fail to support, the concurrent Pilkada will certainly be hindered. "Therefore, total collaboration can ensure the successful implementation of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada," he said. Hadi urged local governments to take strategic steps, including avoiding overlaps between the central and local governments.
