Ex-Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan is resolved to return DKI Jakarta to a advanced city after being officially announced by the Prosperous Justice Party (Partai Keadilan Sejahtera) as a prospective gubernatorial candidate for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

Previously, PKS officially nominated Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman as cagub and deputy gubernatorial candidates for the 2024 DKI Jakarta Pilgub. This was announced by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in his speech at the Party Leadership School titled ‘Always Defending the People’ at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. “The PKS Central Executive Board (Dewan Pimpinan Pusat) in its meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, has decided to endorse Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as cagub and Mr. Sohibul Iman as prospective deputy gubernatorial candidates,” said Syaikhu. Syaikhu explained that the DPP PKS decision to nominate Anies and Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub was based on the proposal from the PKS DKI Jakarta Regional Executive Board (Dewan Pimpinan Wilayah). “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, which includes a request to endorse and ratify Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Mr. Mohammad Sohibul Iman as gubernatorial candidate and cawagub for DKI,” stated Syaikhu.

The Chairman of DPD PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) West Java, Ono Surono, mentioned that no party in West Java can nominate a governor and deputy governor in the 2024 West Java Pilkada without forming political alliances

**Reasons PKS Endorses Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in Jakarta Pilkada 2024** The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has officially endorsed Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial (cagub) and deputy gubernatorial (cawagub) candidates in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu revealed the reasons for nominating Anies and Sohibul Iman for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. Anies Baswedan is considered a figure who achieved significant progress while leading DKI Jakarta. According to Syaikhu, Anies’ performance has made the residents of Jakarta happy. “Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan excelled as governor during the 2017-2022 period with various achievements in different sectors of development, improving the city and bringing happiness to its residents,” stated Syaikhu at the Party Leadership School Opening at Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. Meanwhile, Sohibul Iman, according to Syaikhu, is a scholar. He mentioned that Sohibul also has an impressive track record in government. “Mr. Sohibul Iman is a technocrat and a scholar who has served as the rector of Paramadina University. He has served in the legislature as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) from 2013-2014 and has been PKS President from 2015-2020,” explained Syaikhu. Syaikhu said that PKS is a cadre party with the mandate to carry out cadre and leadership regeneration. Therefore, he said, in the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada, the party will nominate its cadres as candidates for regional heads. “Especially in areas where PKS is the winning party or has a majority of seats in the DPRD. PKS will endeavor to the utmost to endorse its own cadres as candidates,” stated Syaikhu.

In the second round, the candidates’ power map was evident from the vote distribution in various regions and voter groups. For instance, Anies-Sandi tended to receive support from urban voters, while Ahok-Djarot was stronger in suburban areas. Additionally, younger and highly educated voters tended to support Anies-Sandi, while older and less educated voters leaned towards Ahok-Djarot.

**PKS Receives Positive Signal from Surya Paloh to Build Coalition in Jakarta Pilkada** The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has nominated the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair for the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub. PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu mentioned that the General Chairman of the Nasdem Party, Surya Paloh, has given a positive signal towards this pair. “I am continuously building political communication with the NasDem Party, especially I made an effort to meet Mr. Surya Paloh, praise be to God he received me warmly and gave a positive signal to build cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada,” said Syaikhu at the Sahid Hotel, Jakarta, on June 25. Syaikhu stated that PKS needs to build communication with other political parties, including NasDem, to meet the requirements for the nomination of governor and deputy governor in the Jakarta Pilkada. “PKS understands it cannot endorse a candidate alone because the number of seats we have does not yet meet the requirements to endorse independently; we have only 18 seats, and the requirement is 22. So, we still need 4 more seats,” he said. After NasDem, PKS will shortly build communication with the Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin, to build a coalition in the Jakarta Pilkada. “InsyAllah, in the next few days, I will also try to communicate with PKB, with Cak Imin,” he ended.

On the other hand, with Sohibul Iman running, Adi also noted that PKS might be aiming to partner with Anies Baswedan. “At the same time, PKS is certainly preparing Sohibul Iman to potentially partner with Anies Baswedan. PKS is quite closely associated with Anies Baswedan. This seems to be PKS’s goal, not to lose momentum as the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta and to ensure their cadre is proposed either as governor or deputy governor,” he stated.
