“As the winning party in Jakarta, PKS has decided to advocate for its best cadre as the candidate for Governor of Jakarta. The candidate we are proposing is Mohamad Sohibul Iman, who currently serves as the Deputy Chair of the PKS Syuro Council,” said Mabruri in his statement on June 23, 2024. Mabruri continued that Sohibul Iman is a figure with adequate capacity. Sohibul Iman led PKS during the 2015-2020 period. “This means he has proven leadership in elevating PKS. He also has a long track record in the political arena,” explained Mabruri.

On the other hand, with Sohibul Iman running, Adi continued, PKS is also targeting to pair him with Anies Baswedan. “Simultaneously, PKS is also preparing Sohibul Iman to potentially pair with Anies Baswedan. Because it must be acknowledged, PKS is quite closely associated with Anies Baswedan. So, this is what PKS seems to be aiming for, not to miss the momentum as the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta, ensuring PKS can nominate their cadre either as governor or vice governor,” he clarified.

**Proposing Anies** Previously, the Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW) of PKS proposed Anies Baswedan to run as a gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The PKS DPP is requesting the deputy gubernatorial seat. PKS Syuro Council Deputy Chair Hidayat Nur Wahid (HNW) stated that Anies’s name is indeed being discussed externally. Thus, PKS requests that its cadre be Anies’s deputy if the PKS DPP supports Anies. “For example, if Mr. Anies is the gubernatorial candidate from PKS, and he is also proposed by other parties, making him a cross-party candidate, then it is only fair that PKS nominates the deputy governor from PKS,” said HNW during an interview at the PKS DPP office, Jakarta, on Tuesday. He clarified the strong reason for the party’s request for the deputy gubernatorial seat. “In the previous period, PKS supported Mr. Anies as the gubernatorial candidate, but the deputy was not from PKS. It is only fair now that PKS gets the deputy position. Once again, PKS is very capable of providing a competent deputy governor,” he stated.

Sohibul Iman was known as a technocrat and Muslim scholar. He was involved in the technology sector at the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT). “He is a blend of a skilled bureaucrat, a capable politician, and a respected intellectual in the educational field,” stated Mabruri.

Secretary-General of the National Mandate Party (PAN) Eddy Soeparno said that the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) decided to support the same candidate in several regions participating in the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada. “We mentioned from the beginning that the Advanced Indonesia Coalition, especially for the DKI Pilkada, we would agree to support a uniform candidate pair, and

Furthermore, HNW disclosed that potential PKS cadres to be Anies’s deputy include PKS DKI Jakarta DPW Chair Khoirudin, PKS elected DPR RI member candidates, and Gamal Albinsaid. “However, all of this is still fluid, and the PKS DPP is still observing all developments to make a decision soon,” he stated.

According to Sohibul, he and Anies are ready to compete supportively in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. Including, he said, if they have to face the former Governor of West Java (Jabar) Ridwan Kamil (RK). “God willing, we are ready to compete supportively and fairly, God willing,” he said. Sohibul believes that whoever the gubernatorial and vice-gubernatorial candidates nominated by political parties (parpol) are, the goal is for the good of Jakarta. “Whoever becomes the candidate is ultimately for the people of Jakarta, for the good of the people of Jakarta. So there is no problem if the people of Jakarta trust us, of course, we will lead. If not, there is no problem,” said the former PKS President.

Huda believes that PKS’s decision to immediately pair Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman is a mistake. “The issue is that pairing Mas Anies and Mas Sohibul Iman immediately is, in my view, a blunder,” he said. Huda noted that pairing Anies Baswedan with Sohibul Iman closes the door for other political parties to join the coalition. “This will close the door for other parties to collaborate with this coalition,” he said.

**PKS Offered Deputy Governor Position with Ridwan Kamil** PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu admitted that he received an offer for the deputy gubernatorial position to accompany Ridwan Kamil (RK) in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The offer came from the Indonesian Forward Coalition (KIM) supporting Prabowo-Gibran in the 2024 Presidential Election. “There is that offer, which is why we are analyzing and considering what makes the most sense,” stated Syaikhu during an interview at the PKS DPP office, Jakarta, on June 18, 2024. However, regarding who PKS will support, Syaikhu said it is not yet final. He mentioned that communication with other parties for the Jakarta Pilkada is still ongoing. “We are continuously communicating to decide who will support Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan along with other parties. Therefore, communication with other parties is not yet final,” he said. Syaikhu mentioned that communication is being conducted with many parties, not just KIM. Intensive communication continues with their coalition in the 2024 Presidential Election, namely the Change Coalition.
