The Prosperous Justice Party shifted direction by nominating Anies Baswedan as the candidate for governor in the 2024 Jakarta regional elections while its own cadre, Sohibul Iman, is only nominated as the deputy governor candidate.

Within the framework of the General Election, the Polling Station Working Committee (KPPS) plays a crucial role. They are at the forefront in ensuring that the voting process runs smoothly and according to the applicable regulations.

The General Election (Pemilu) is a primary pillar in the implementation of people’s sovereignty in Indonesia. This process marks an important moment in the practice of democracy, where people have the right to elect their leaders directly, freely, secretly, honestly, and fairly.

According to Anies, besides support from the National Awakening Party (Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa) and PKS, there will be other political parties (parties) that will also support his determination. “Praise be to God after PKB and PKS, God willing there will be other parties willing to fight together to make Jakarta a modern city with happy citizens,” stated Anies through his Instagram account @aniesbaswedan on Wednesday. Anies is currently in Spain. He mentioned that upon returning to the homeland, he will soon communicate with PKS leadership to discuss further steps for the future Jakarta Pilkada 2024. “We’ve struggled together in Jakarta as well as nationally with PKS, Insyaallah we will continue to fight together in the future,” he stated.

– Prospective KPPS officers must be Indonesian citizens (WNI), affirming their loyalty and attachment to the state of Indonesia.
– The age of prospective KPPS officers must be between 17 and 55 years old at the time of the election. This ensures that the officers have the maturity and capacity to perform their duties well.
– Adherence to the values of Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI), Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, and the ideals of the Proclamation of August 17, 1945, is absolutely necessary.
– Prospective KPPS officers must have a strong understanding of these principles and be willing to uphold them.
– Integrity, personal strength, honesty, and commitment to the principle of justice are highly expected characteristics of a KPPS officer. They must be able to perform their duties fairly and honestly

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

**Reasons PKS Endorses Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in Jakarta Pilkada 2024** The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has formally nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial (cagub) and deputy gubernatorial (cawagub) candidates in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu explained the reasons for nominating Anies and Sohibul Iman for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. Anies Baswedan is considered a figure who made 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 accomplishments in different sectors of development, improving the city and satisfaction 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 acted as the rector of Paramadina University. He has experience in the legislature as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) from 2013-2014 and has been PKS President from 2015-2020,” clarified Syaikhu. Syaikhu stated 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 nominate its own cadres as candidates,” stated Syaikhu.
