Deputy Secretary General of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Syaiful Huda, believes that PKS's decision to pair Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman is very risky and could potentially block other political parties interested in supporting Anies in the 202

"It could be dangerous, leading to a deadlock, and it might not get coalition partners," said Huda at the Parliament Complex in Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday (26/6/2024). "Objectively, it could potentially close the door for other parties," he added.

"So, if PKS friends mention the offer to be Mr. Ridwan Kamil's deputy governor, it might be from individual senior political party members of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition. It has not yet become an official offer," said Habiburokhman to reporters, Wednesday (June 19, 2024).

"The agreement between Mr. Airlangga (Golkar Chairman) and the other political party leaders is to wait until the end of July or early August," said Doli at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday (June 20, 2024).

However, he admitted that Ridwan Kamil's electability has dropped as a candidate for Jakarta governor (cagub) in 2024, following the emergence of Anies Baswedan and Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, also known as Ahok .

"Because the regulations for regional elections and general elections are different. For general elections, each TPS has no more than 300 voters, while for regional elections, it can have up to 800 voters," she explained.

"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 nominating is Mohamad Sohibul Iman, who currently serves as the Deputy Chair of the PKS Syuro Council," stated Mabruri in his statement on Sunday. Mabruri added that Sohibul Iman is a figure with considerable 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.

"One factor is electability, right, and the second is capability. That's clear. Sahroni may have capability, we are confident in that, he is a young man, but his electability for the Jakarta field needs to be carefully considered," said Paloh.

Of this number, about 43 percent are first-time voters. "There are definitely challenges because West Java is a region with the largest number of voters, approximately 35 million voters. Besides managing the number of voters, we also have to manage the vast area of West Java. Although we have 27 regencies and cities, which is slightly fewer than East Java and Central Java, the vast area of West Java is a challenge," said Ummi.

Previously, Bambang Pacul mentioned that his party is still finalizing the nominations for the 2024 Central Java Pilgub. Pacul emphasized that PDIP is open to any prominent figures, including Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Ahmad Luthfi. "It is still in discussion and under survey, and we will report the decision to the central committee," Bambang Pacul said in response to whether the Central Java PDIP has shortlisted Ahmad Luthfi’s name at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 20, 2024. Pacul mentioned that the names of prominent figures emerging from various survey results will be proposed to the PDIP Central Executive Board (DPP). He left the decision on the Central Java Pilkada nominations to PDIP Chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri. "The decision is at the central level, but we will submit the data and survey results," Pacul said in response to questions about Ahmad Luthfi being considered by PDIP in Central Java. "The final decision in Central Java is in the hands of the Chairwoman. If PDIP doesn’t nominate, it’s impossible. We will definitely nominate someone. Which one, we don’t know yet," he stated.

Ummi explained that approximately IDR 90 billion will be allocated to regencies and cities, meaning nearly 80 percent is claimed to be distributed to 27 regencies and cities. "There are seven budget items shared by the province," she said.

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.

**Targeted by Golkar** The Central Java Regional Executive Board (DPD) of the Golkar Party is open to endorsing Inspector General Ahmad Luthfi as a gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Central Java Pilkada. Meanwhile, the Secretary of the Central Java Golkar Party DPD and former Karanganyar Regent Juliyatmono in Karanganyar, Central Java, on June 25, 2024, stated that several potential names have been inventoried. "We are still inventorying all possible candidates, including Mr. Police Chief. Everyone wants to win," he said. According to him, the party is widely open to external figures who wish to run in the 2024 Central Java Pilkada. "It is very possible. Especially now, the situation is still dynamic. There are many capable candidates," he stated.
