The announcement was the result of a Central Leadership Council (DPTP) PKS meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024.

This decision is motivated by his resolve to present a different choice, presenting a unique vision and expertise to the Banten community, apart from the long-standing ruling dynasty in the region. The leadership of Arief Wismansyah in Tangerang has been recognized for advancement in city management and development of inclusive infrastructure, creating a strong foundation to advance Banten Province. In this context, he is committed to championing social fairness, sustainable development, and equitable development throughout Banten. Arief conveyed his preparedness to face the challenges of the Banten election with a vision focused on positive change and progress for all segments of society. He shared that his decision to run was initially not planned, but the motivation from the community and his family made him think again. He mentioned that a meeting with VP Ma’ruf Amin significantly affected his decision to run. “I was called by Ma’ruf Amin, and we had a meeting. He asked, are you really running, Mr. Arief? If you want to run, you have to win; if you’re not sure you can win, don’t run, he said. I agreed with him. Finally, on Monday afternoon, I decided to run,” Arief said when met in the Karawaci region of Tangerang City, Sunday. Arief also expressed his views on the prevailing political dynasty in Banten, noting the polarization in the community related to this dominance. Nevertheless, he is optimistic about competing with renowned contenders in the region. “I hope to partner with the people of Banten to develop jointly, including with the existing dynasties,” he added. Arief highlighted his preparedness to collaborate with various parties for the development of Banten, without neglecting the interests of the people. “Whatever the outcome, I hope the next leadership can deliver the best for Banten,” he concluded. With this step, Arief Rachadiono Wismansyah asks the people of Banten to endorse a shared vision in progressing the region through the upcoming election.

Airlangga mentioned that his party has not yet decided whether to nominate the former Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. However, Golkar has already recommended Ridwan Kamil to participate in the Jakarta and West Java Pilkada. Golkar is still waiting for the survey results to determine Ridwan Kamil’s candidacy. Airlangga also asked everyone to wait until August 27, 2024, to see who Golkar will announce as their candidate for Jakarta governor. “We’ll wait and see,” said Airlangga Hartarto.

Hasyim explained that the related regulations are outlined in the draft KPU regulations (RPKPU) Article 19. He hopes that this clarification will provide clarity to the public. “So it’s clear which path to take, whether to become a regional head candidate or continue as a member of the DPR, DPD,” said Hasyim. If they still want to participate in the 2024 Pilkada, Hasyim asks the elected candidates in the 2024 Election to submit their resignation letters to the KPU no later than 5 days after being determined as regional head candidates. “A certificate stating that the resignation letter is being processed by the relevant KPU official should be submitted,” Hasyim emphasized.

PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu stated that the Chairman of the Nasdem Party, Surya Paloh, gave a positive signal towards this pair. “I continue to build political communication with the NasDem Party, specifically I made a point to visit Mr. Surya Paloh, and alhamdulillah, I was warmly received and got a positive signal to build cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada,” said Syaikhu at the Sahid Hotel, Jakarta, on June 25.

Meanwhile, Sohibul Iman, according to Syaikhu, is a scholar. He stated that Sohibul also has an impressive track record in government. “Mr. Sohibul Iman is a technocrat, also a scholar who was once the rector of Paramadina University. He has experience in the legislature as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) for the 2013-2014 period and was once the president of PKS for the 2015-2020 period,” stated Syaikhu. Syaikhu mentioned that PKS is a cadre party that has a mandate to carry out political cadre regeneration and leadership regeneration. Therefore, he said, in this simultaneous Pilkada 2024, the party will nominate its cadre to run as a regional head candidate. “Especially in the base areas where PKS is the winning party or has a majority of DPRD seats. PKS will strive to nominate its own cadre as a candidate,” stated Syaikhu.

Syaikhu stated that PKS needs to build communication with other political parties (parpol) including NasDem to meet the requirements for nominating a governor and deputy governor in the Jakarta Pilkada. “PKS realizes it cannot nominate a candidate alone in the Pilkada because the number of seats we have does not yet meet the requirement to nominate independently, we only have 18 seats, while the requirement is 22. So we still need 4 more seats,” he stated. After NasDem, PKS will soon 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 coming time I will also try to communicate with PKB, with Cak Imin,” he said.
