The Secretary-General of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), Hasto Kristiyanto, recently reviewed the prospective conference between PDIP's Chairwoman, Megawati Soekarnoputri, and the Gerindra Party's Chairman, Prabowo Subianto, following the Constitutional Court's choice. Hasto indicated that there would certainly be no problem with Megawati meeting Prabowo after the conclusion of all phases of the 2024 Political election. "So, if they fulfill, there's not a problem, yet the basic concerns will still be doubted by PDIP," Hasto firmly mentioned at the PDIP Central Exec Board workplace on Diponegoro Road, Central Jakarta, on Monday (25/3/2024).

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," explained Syaikhu. Syaikhu mentioned that PKS is a cadre party that has a mandate to carry out political cadre regeneration and leadership regeneration. Therefore, he stated, 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," said Syaikhu.

Syaikhu mentioned 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 concluded.

According to Syaikhu, PKS needs to form a coalition with other political parties to back Anies-Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. "We will invite various other parties to support this pair," he said. However, Syaikhu admitted that there has been no communication with PDIP leadership regarding the Jakarta Pilkada so far. "Officially, I haven't (communicated with PDIP)," he said.

This is because the chances of winning are greater as the election will not go to two rounds. "Yes, actually, 2 coalitions or 3 coalitions are interesting. For us, 2 coalitions are more attractive, the chances of our candidate winning are greater. If there are 3 coalitions, it might go to 2 rounds, we also calculate that," stated Pipin at the Sahid Hotel, Jakarta, on Monday. Pipin stated that the opportunity to form a new coalition for the Jakarta gubernatorial election is still open. However, this needs to be discussed with other political parties. "All opportunities exist, well, I think we are only 1 party out of several parties, so we certainly have to talk together," he said.
