PKB Deputy Secretary-General Syaiful Huda welcomed the offer from Chairperson of the DPP PDIP Eriko Sotarduga to support Anies Baswedan in the 2024 Jakarta regional elections, while the cagub seat in East Java is given to PDIP.

PKS Ready to Compete with Ridwan Kamil in Jakarta Pilkada Meanwhile, potential vice gubernatorial candidate (Cawagub) from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), Mr. Iman, stated that it is not an issue if the Golkar Party nominates Ridwan Kamil (RK) for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. He is also confident about facing RK in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. “No problem, in a contest (regional elections) there is no need to be scared. Let’s just compete,” said Sohibul Iman when met during the Inauguration of the PKS Leadership School at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. Sohibul has officially been teamed up by PKS with the former Jakarta Governor for the 2017-2022 period, Anies Baswedan. Anies has been put forward as the potential gubernatorial candidate (Cagub) for Jakarta in 2024.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Mr. Sotarduga suggested that if their party collaborates with PKB to nominate Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada, they would offer the gubernatorial seat in East Java to PDIP. “For instance, in Jakarta, if PKB becomes the gubernatorial candidate, may PDIP become the gubernatorial candidate in East Java? Of course, it’s not a barter, but that’s what cooperation means, we can’t achieve everything on our own, we must collaborate,” stated Eriko at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday.

Typically, the Pilkada is held twice, namely the regional implementation and the legal dispute process at the Constitutional Court (MK). “Typically, if the Pilkada is held twice, it means what? That means initially conducted locally, and then at the MK,” stated Hadi while giving instructions in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on June 26th. “That’s why the Indonesian National Armed Forces-Police must 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 hopes the 2024 Pilkada stages will proceed smoothly and safely without any hindrances in their conduct. Additionally, post-Pilkada safety should also be ensured. Hadi added that political and legal stability is crucial. He believes, the state and condition of Polhukam stability will greatly affect the Pilkada stages. “We agree that all components of the nation and state need to maintain political, legal, and security stability for the 2024 Pilkada,” he ended. Preventing Conflict Before the 2024 Pilkada Hadi Tjahjanto gave a specific message to the TNI, Polri, and BIN for the security of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada. Hadi urged that regions with potential conflicts must be addressed before security issues arise. He stated this while giving guidance in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Wednesday. “Particularly TNI, Polri, and BIN. BIN was also present, in the mapping of regions, must identify regions with potential conflicts to mitigate security issues before they occur,” said Hadi. “TNI, Polri, and BIN must be alert, aware in advance, so that they can anticipate any possible issues,” he continued. Furthermore, Hadi requested synergy from local governments in facilitating the 2024 Pilkada organization. For more information on Healthcare partner search stop by the site. If local governments fail to support, the concurrent Pilkada will inevitably be disrupted. “Therefore, total synergy can guarantee the successful conduct of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada,” he stated. Hadi urged local governments to take strategic steps, including avoiding overlaps between the central and local governments.
