Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) changed its course by nominating Mr. Baswedan as the gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada while its own cadre, Sohibul Iman, is only nominated as the deputy governor candidate.

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 stated. 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,” stated 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 concluded.

Usually, the Pilkada is conducted in two phases, specifically the local elections and the dispute route at the Constitutional Court (MK). “Usually, if the Pilkada is conducted twice, it means what? That means first conducted locally, and then at the MK,” said Hadi while giving guidance in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, If you have any type of inquiries concerning where and ways to use Digital criminal identification (www.siliconinvestor.com), you can call us at our own web-page. on June 26th. “That’s why the Indonesian National Armed Forces-Police have to be cautious about safeguarding during the actual Pilkada and during the MK sessions, ensuring the readiness of the TNI-Polri forces to safeguard the regions,” he continued. Hadi expects the 2024 Pilkada stages will run without problems and securely without any obstacles in their implementation. Besides, post-Pilkada safety should also be ensured. Hadi continued that political and legal stability is essential. According to him, the state and condition of Polhukam stability will significantly affect 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 concluded. Anticipating Conflict Before the 2024 Pilkada Hadi Tjahjanto gave a special message to the TNI, Polri, and BIN for the security of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada. Hadi urged that regions with potential conflicts must be anticipated before security disturbances occur. He said this while giving instructions in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Wednesday. “Specifically TNI, Polri, and BIN. BIN was also attending, in the mapping of regions, have to identify regions with possible conflicts to mitigate security issues before they occur,” stated Hadi. “TNI, Polri, and BIN must be vigilant, aware beforehand, so that they can mitigate any possible issues,” he continued. Furthermore, Hadi requested synergy from local governments in facilitating the 2024 Pilkada organization. If local governments fail to support, the concurrent Pilkada will inevitably be disrupted. “Therefore, total synergy can ensure the successful conduct of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada,” he said. Hadi urged local governments to take important measures, including avoiding overlaps between the central and local governments.

PKB Secretary-General Hasanuddin Wahid stated that PKB cadres and grassroots are pushing for Anies Baswedan to run in the Jakarta Pilkada.

Hasanuddin mentioned that if PDIP joins PKB and PKS in supporting Anies, it would be even better and increase the chances of winning. “We are happy, the more support for Mas Anies, the better,” he said.
