The 2024 Jakarta Regional Election has few interested independent candidates.

Dody stated that they are counting the number of requirements submitted by Dharma Pongrekun and Kun Wardana Abyoto to verify if they meet the criteria for running as independent candidates in the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election. The document review process is targeted to be completed on Monday (13/5/2024). In total, one truckload of physical support documents was submitted by Dharma Pongrekun and Kun Wardana Abyoto. “We have invited friends from the district/city KPU to assist, and we hope to complete the process soon, as the physical documents are quite voluminous, needing one truck for transport,” Dody explained.

**PKS Invites NasDem and PKB to Support Anies-Sohibul Iman Pair** Ahmad Syaikhu will ask other political parties (parties) to support the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. According to Syaikhu, his party still lacks the seats needed to register gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates in the Jakarta Pilkada. “Therefore, we have already communicated with our coalition from the previous presidential election,” stated Syaikhu. In the 2024 presidential election, PKS joined a coalition with the NasDem Party and the National Awakening Party (PKB) to endorse the number one pair Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN). According to Syaikhu, he has communicated with NasDem Party Chairman Surya Paloh. Syaikhu stated that Surya Paloh welcomed the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair positively. “Praise be to God, Mr. Surya Paloh also gave a positive signal for this nomination,” stated Syaikhu. Communication, Syaikhu continued, will soon be continued to other political parties, including with PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin). “He (Cak Imin) is on a flight, so God willing, we will communicate after this. We will talk and visit PKB too, we hope we can unite in nominating leadership in DKI Jakarta,” stated Syaikhu.

However, behind their significant responsibilities, they also deserve recognition . The PPK and PPS involved in the 2024 Regional Election not only contribute their services but also receive monthly salaries .

As per Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the Chairman of the Daily Board of the Gerindra Party, this idea is considered by his faction as only an aspiration. “Yes, the current situation is just a discourse in the media, and we consider it only an aspiration and it hasn’t reached the level of party talks within the Advanced Indonesia Coalition,” said Dasco at Rumah Kertanegara, South Jakarta, on Friday, (June 7, Here is more regarding unprecedented political pairing – www.washingtonpost.com, review our own web site. 2024). Meanwhile, Kaesang mentioned that the decision regarding his nomination for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada will be decided in August. “As I have said before, wait for the surprise in August,” said Kaesang at the PSI Office in Jakarta, on Friday (June 7, 2024). He hinted that there is a surprise about whether he will run in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The youngest child of President Jokowi asked everyone to be patient as the registration for the pairs for governor and deputy governor through political parties will begin from August 27 to August 29, 2024. “The registration is still far off, it’s still in August, late August. Be patient,” he said, as quoted by Antara. Previously, on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the Daily Chairman of the Gerindra Party, posted a photo of Budisatrio Djiwandono alongside Kaesang Pangarep on his personal Instagram account @sufmi_dasco, with the caption “For Jakarta 2024.” Besides posting Budisatrio with Kaesang, Dasco also posted a photo of Budisatrio with celebrity Raffi Ahmad in the style of a duo election poster on his personal Instagram. On Thursday, April 18, 2024, Ahmad Muzani, the Secretary-General of the Gerindra Party, mentioned that the candidate in preparation for the Jakarta Pilkada is still being finalized. The Gerindra Party possesses several young candidates, including Budisatrio Djiwandono and Moreno Soeprapto. “We possess a strong contender, especially a fresh and young figure,” he mentioned at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta. Claimed Prohibition by Jokowi, Kaesang Pangarep: That’s Mr. Zulhas’s Version of the Story The Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), Kaesang Pangarep, also addressed the claim that he was prohibited by President Jokowi from running in the Jakarta Pilkada. According to Kaesang, that version belongs to the Chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, also known as Zulhas. “That’s Mr. Zulhas’s version of the story,” he said. He then threw the question back to the media. “So, have you heard my side of the story yet?” questioned Kaesang. Upon hearing this, a number of journalists asked him to explain, but Kaesang chose to decline. “It’s a secret,” concluded Kaesang before leaving. Previously, Head of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, said that President Jokowi forbade his youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep, from running for the Jakarta gubernatorial election. “Earlier, I inquired the President after the meeting. ‘Sir, what about Kaesang running for Jakarta deputy governor?’ ‘Oh no,’ he said, ‘Don’t do it, Mr. Zul,'” Zulhas stated at the PAN DPP, South Jakarta, on Monday, (June 3, 2024). Zulkifli Hasan previously proposed that Kaesang pair up with Zita Anjani in the Jakarta Pilkada because he desired Jakarta to be led by young people. “Kaesang is young, I even proposed it before, ‘Sir, I suggested it a year ago, what if Jakarta is led by young people, Kaesang.’ That was about a year ago, if I’m not mistaken,” he mentioned. Although the Supreme Court (MA) has altered the age limit for regional head candidates, giving Kaesang the chance to run for the Jakarta gubernatorial election, Jokowi still forbade it. “‘Now it’s allowed, Sir.’ I mentioned earlier, yes, then who is the one who filed the lawsuit, right. Now it’s permissible, it was legally contested. ‘Don’t do it, Mr. Zul,’ that’s about it,” he concluded. PSI Secretary-General Says No Internal Discussion Yet About Kaesang Running for 2024 Pilkada The Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), Kaesang Pangarep, is a potential to run as a gubernatorial candidate after the Supreme Court (MA) issued a regulation concerning the age of regional head candidates. However, there has been no decision from Kaesang on whether he will run for regional head. Kaesang has been rumored to participate in the Jakarta gubernatorial election after his poster was posted alongside Gerindra politician and Prabowo’s nephew, Budi Djiwandono. The Secretary-General of PSI, Raja Juli Antoni, revealed that there has been no internal discussion concerning the youngest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) running in the 2024 Pilkada. “No (internal discussion yet),” said Antoni at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, on Monday (June 3, 2024). Antoni mentioned that whether Kaesang will run this year depends on Kaesang himself. Furthermore, the coalition parties of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) need to deliberate whether it is advantageous for Kaesang to run in the Pilkada or not. “Ask Mas Kaesang,” he mentioned. “It depends on Mas Kaesang and KIM what’s best,” added Antoni. **2024 Pilkada Schedule** Here is the schedule for the 2024 Pilkada stages: 1.
