According to Huda, another PKS confusion is pairing Anies-Sohibul directly, which he considers a blunder. "The ensuing problem is immediately pairing Mr. Anies and Mr. Sohibul Iman. In my view, that’s a blunder," he said. Huda mentioned that by pairing Anies with Sohibul, it closes the door for other parties to join in supporting Anies. "This will close the door for other parties to partner and form this coalition," stated.

**Reasons PKS Endorses Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in Jakarta Pilkada 2024** The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has officially 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 achieved 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 achievements in different sectors of development, improving the city and bringing happiness 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 served as the rector of Paramadina University. He has served in the legislature as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) from 2013-2014 and has been PKS President from 2015-2020," explained 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 endorse 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.

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.

**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, mentioned that several potential names have been inventoried.

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.

In line with Adi, political observer from Al-Azhar University, Ujang Komarudin, stated that so far, political leaders are still watching each other. Thus, definitive names for the Jakarta contest have yet to emerge. However, he views the statement from the Gerindra Party as a win-win solution. "West Java wants to be won by KIM, Jakarta also wants to be won by KIM," he said.

**PKB Says Not Certain to Support Anies Baswedan** PKB Deputy Secretary General Syaiful Huda emphasized that his party is not certain to support Anies Baswedan in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. This is because PKB still has one more name being considered, namely Ida Fauziyah. "PKB has not yet decided to support Anies, we are considering two names," said Huda, during an interview at the Parliamentary Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 26.

Meanwhile, Ridwan Kamil admitted that he has secured task letters to run in the 2024 Pilkada. However, he has not decided whether to run in the West Java or Jakarta Pilkada. According to him, this is still being deliberated at the Golkar Party DPP and will be resolved soon. "Still considering, just wait until July," Ridwan Kamil said when interviewed by reporters at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali Airport on Friday, May 31, 2024.
