The coklit process will be carried out by voter data updating officers (Petugas Pemuktahiran Data Pemilih). At least 29,315 Pantarlih officers have been officially inaugurated by the KPU DKI Jakarta. This was announced by the Head of Data and Information Division of KPU DKI Jakarta, Fahmi Zikrillah, at the Readiness Ceremony of Voter Data Updating Officers (Pantarlih) for the gubernatorial election (Pemilihan Gubernur) at the Jakarta International Velodrome, Rawamangun, East Jakarta, on June 24, 2024.

The independent candidate pair was declared not meeting the requirements (TMS) in the 2024 Malang City Pilkada by the General Election Commission (KPU) based on the results of administrative verification. Bawaslu had mediated both parties, but no agreement was reached. Thus, an adjudication hearing was held, using a third party, in this case, Bawaslu Malang City, as the adjudicator. The first hearing was held on June 25, 2024, with the agenda being the reading of the petitioner's request and the response from KPU as the respondent.

Similarly, political analyst from UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, Adi Prayitno, sees PKS's move to bring up the name Sohibul Iman as a political bargaining chip for anyone wanting to form a coalition in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. According to Adi, PKS wants to increase its bargaining position because it is the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta. Additionally, the solid voter base and constituency make PKS confident in nominating its own cadre. "In this context, PKS seems to be sending a strong signal to those wanting to form a coalition, including Anies Baswedan, that it is essential to include Sohibul Iman as a running mate," said Adi Prayitno to Liputan6.com on Monday, June 24, 2024. "Or, if Ridwan Kamil from KIM is interested in making PKS a coalition partner, then Sohibul Iman must be his running mate," Adi continued.

Chairman of Bawaslu Malang City, Mochammad Arifudin, announced that the petitioner's main points, namely the independent candidate pair Sam HC-Rizky Boncel, had been presented. However, the respondent's response was postponed to June 26, 2024. "The respondent was not ready to provide their response. We have also not received the draft from the respondent," stated Arifudin after the hearing. The dispute arose after the KPU's administrative verification results declared that the Sam HC-Rizky Boncel pair had only submitted 40,689 support documents out of the minimum requirement of 48,882 supports needed to become independent candidates in the 2024 Pilkada. Meanwhile, according to Sam HC-Rizky Boncel, they had 54,000 supports. In a closed mediation at Bawaslu Malang City on June 22, no agreement was reached, leading to the adjudication hearing.

**Explanation from Candidates and KPU** The spokesperson for the legal team of the petitioner (Sam HC – Rizky Boncel), Susianto, demanded that KPU Malang City re-verify the data of 13,615 supports that were declared ineligible (TMS). "We have proposed three options: re-upload the data to the Candidacy Information System (Silon), manual counting, or re-administrative verification," stated Susianto. He added that there are real data such as support letters accompanied by scanned e-KTPs and excel data of the support counts that were deemed TMS. The Sam HC team requests that KPU re-upload this data to the Candidacy Information System (Silon). "That is what we are disputing in this process. We also want a maximum deadline of seven days for re-uploading the data," stated Susianto.

Habiburokhman finds it difficult to map out who the competitors of KIM are in Jakarta. He also questions whether there will be any party joining PKS. "So it is difficult to map out whether there will be another party joining or not," he said.

**Sohibul Iman Not at the Same Level as Anies and Ridwan Kamil** According to Jamiluddin, Sohibul Iman is not a suitable choice for the Jakarta gubernatorial race. His popularity and electability are far below the names that have already surfaced, especially Anies Baswedan and Ridwan Kamil. This can be seen from several survey institutions that have released their results. "Given that Sohibul Iman does not yet have electability, his market value is very low on paper. Therefore, Sohibul Iman is not a worthy opponent for Anies Baswedan," stated Jamil. "Comparing Sohibul Iman with Anies in the Jakarta Pilgub is like comparing night and day. Sohibul Iman's level is not comparable to Anies's level," Jamil added. Jamil believes that PKS is very daring if they truly propose Sohibul Iman as the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. Although Jamil acknowledges Sohibul Iman's proven political career and loyalty to the party, his popularity and electability are hurdles if forced to run as Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. "Therefore, he is not suitable to be proposed as a gubernatorial candidate. PKS's party machinery does not seem capable of significantly boosting Sohibul Iman's popularity and electability. It will be very difficult to even approach Anies Baswedan and Ridwan Kamil's popularity and electability," stated Jamil. "PKS is too confident and daring without considering its cadre's capacity to win in the Jakarta Pilkada," Jamil stated.
