Political communication expert from Esa Unggul University, M. Jamiluddin Ritonga, assesses that PKS’s decision to nominate its cadre in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada is a rational move. Not only because of its status as the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta, but also due to the party’s solid machinery. However, according to Jamil, the decision to nominate Sohibul Iman as a gubernatorial candidate is another matter. The former PKS President is considered not popular among Jakarta residents. “PKS proposing Sohibul Iman seems to be aimed at increasing their bargaining position. As the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta, PKS wants its cadre to be included in the Jakarta gubernatorial or deputy gubernatorial race. Therefore, PKS seems to have nominated Sohibul Iman early on. The goal is to ensure that PKS at least gets the deputy gubernatorial position,” said Jamil to Liputan6.com on Monday, June 24, 2024.

The 2017 DKI Jakarta Pilkada was the third direct regional head election for Jakarta. The Pilkada, held to elect the governor and deputy governor, garnered significant public attention as DKI Jakarta is one of the largest and most important regions in Indonesia. The voting process in the 2017 DKI Pilkada included several stages, such as voter registration, polling station (TPS) locations, and vote tallying.

Regarding the 2024 Regional Elections, Anies stated that he is building communication with various political parties, including the Gerindra Party led by Prabowo . “We all want Jakarta to progress and for its residents to be happy. That is not just the aspiration of one or two parties; everyone wants that. So, we are building communication with everyone,” said Anies.

**Former Anies Spokesperson Praises Sohibul Iman, Criticizes Jakarta Pilkada as Stepping Stone to 2029 Presidential Election** Former Co-Captain of the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN) Winning Team, Sudirman Said, supports the PKS DPP’s decision to propose Sohibul Iman as the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. Sohibul Iman’s capacity and integrity are proven, so there is no doubt about his ability to lead Jakarta in the future. “Certainly, friends and cadres in the PKS Faction in the DKI DPRD will be good sources and provide good input, given their daily legislative, budgetary, and oversight duties in Jakarta Province,” stated Sudirman, as quoted by Antara, on Monday, June 24, 2024. According to the former Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Sohibul Iman has a wide network among professionals and businesspeople. Therefore, he believes Sohibul will quickly receive the necessary input. Additionally, Sudirman Said assesses that Sohibul is the right person to lead Jakarta because he will work with focus. So far, Sudirman has not seen any aspirations for Sohibul to advance to a higher political competition, such as the presidential election. Sudirman also reminds the public to choose gubernatorial candidates who genuinely want to manage Jakarta towards becoming a global city while addressing its complex problems. “I see Jakarta in an important transformation process. The next Jakarta governor must be 100 percent focused. Do not make Jakarta merely a political stage, especially a stepping stone to the 2029 presidential election,” said the former spokesperson for Anies Baswedan.

4. Vote Counting
After voting ended, the ballot boxes were counted transparently in front of witnesses from each candidate. The vote count results from each TPS were then announced and considered provisional results.

The quick count results of the second round of the 2017 DKI Pilkada revealed controversial outcomes, with the losing candidate pair making allegations of fraud. Challenges and controversies arose when the quick count results showed the previously favored candidate losing, casting doubt on the legitimacy of the results. The losing side in the quick count often alleged fraud in the voting process, such as money politics or data manipulation. These challenges sparked unrest in the community and caused political instability. Additionally, legal challenges could delay the official election results.

Meanwhile, Esa Unggul University political communication analyst M. Jamiluddin Ritonga assesses that in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada, PKS will still form a coalition with the National Awakening Party (PKB) and the NasDem Party, which will likely propose Anies Baswedan. Added to that, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), which is interested in proposing Anies in the Jakarta Pilkada. However, another possibility might occur if the deputy gubernatorial position for Anies is not given to PKS. It is predicted that PKS will cross over to the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), which will nominate Ridwan Kamil. “PKS will hope to get the deputy gubernatorial position by joining KIM. If PKS is accepted by KIM, there is a possibility that Sohibul Iman will accompany Ridwan Kamil,” stated Jamil. “However, this possibility is very small if Kaesang Pangarep runs in the Jakarta Pilgub. KIM would certainly prefer Kaesang over Sohibul Iman as Ridwan Kamil’s running mate,” Jamil added. If that happens, according to Jamil, PKB and NasDem might join PDIP to propose Anies as gubernatorial candidate, with the deputy gubernatorial candidate from PDIP. “In the Jakarta Pilgub, it seems that there will be a confrontation between two coalitions. The Change Coalition plus PDIP will nominate Anies and a PDIP cadre, while KIM is more likely to propose Ridwan Kamil-Kaesang,” stated Jamil. “If this happens, PKS might end up empty-handed. PKS will have the possibility of not getting anything in the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub,” said the former Dean of FIKIM IISIP Jakarta.
