The name Sohibul Iman was nominated because he is considered a figure with adequate capacity. He led PKS during the 2015-2020 period. Under his leadership, PKS saw an increase in votes and seats in the DPR RI. Sohibul was elected three times as a member of the DPR RI and has also served as Deputy Speaker of the DPR RI, and as Vice Rector of Paramadina University. He is also known as a technocrat and a Muslim scholar. "This means he has proven leadership in elevating PKS. He also has a long track record in politics," said Mabruri.

PKB Jakarta proposes the duo of Anies Baswedan and the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) as well as a politician from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), Prasetyo Edi Marsudi, for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. Besides Prasetyo Edi, Hasbiallah mentioned that Anies could also be paired with the Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Kaesang Pangarep or the Acting (Pj) Governor of DKI Jakarta, Heru Budi Hartono.

**PKS Does Not Want to Be Just a Ronin** Political analyst Adi Prayitno believes that PKS's decision to propose its cadre is understandable, given that in the 2017 Jakarta Pilkada, PKS could only propose candidates from other parties. "Even the deputy gubernatorial position left by Sandiaga Uno, which should have been PKS's share, was also willingly given to Gerindra," stated Adi. Therefore, Adi believes that in this Jakarta Pilkada, PKS does not want to continue being a supporter of other parties' cadres. PKS wants to be a deciding party. Especially with the label as the winner of the legislative elections in Jakarta. "As the winning party in the legislative elections, PKS certainly does not want to continue being a ronin. PKS does not want to be merely political firewood for nominating candidates, but to have a PKS cadre as governor or deputy governor," said Adi. "This time, PKS wants to appear as a leader candidate. As the main actor in winning, and as a figure who can secure Jakarta 1 or Jakarta 2. That's the point," said Adi.
**Pairing Anies-Sohibul in the Jakarta Pilkada is a Blunder** Deputy Secretary General (Wasekjen) of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Syaiful Huda, stated that the change in stance by PKS, which initially proposed Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial candidate and then changed to deputy governor for Anies Baswedan, reflects internal confusion within PKS. "The internal confusion among PKS friends, which should have been internal PKS consumption, has been published," stated Huda at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday.
Huda reminded that the Jakarta Pilkada is very fluid and nothing is fixed, including for PKS, even though it won the Jakarta legislative election but cannot nominate alone. "Nominating two figures simultaneously as both governor and deputy governor candidates is a political party's privilege with a golden ticket, having 20 percent. We know our friends at PKS won the last legislative election but haven't surpassed 20 percent as they only have 18 seats while 20 percent requires 22 seats," he said. "So, in my opinion, this model of monopolizing figures for a party that does not meet and does not have a golden ticket is dangerous, it’s dangerous," he concluded.
However, he believes it is different with Gerindra, as they will make maximum efforts to cooperate with the Coalition for Advanced Indonesia (KIM) party to endorse Ridwan Kamil. "But for the Gerindra Party in Jakarta, we will make maximum efforts to build communication, especially with KIM parties and other parties," he said.
Maximum Effort When asked how optimistic he is about running in the 2024 Pilkada, Dico Ganinduto couldn't provide a definite answer. He states he can only do his best and let Allah decide the results. "I believe, as humans, we must strive and make maximum efforts. As much as possible, try with good intentions. We leave the results to Allah," explained Dico Ganinduto.
"PKS has the Chairman of DPRD DKI. They can't take the deputy governor position too. I think Anies-Pras is ideal," he said. Moreover, he added, the relationship between Anies Baswedan and Prasetyo has been established since Anies served as the governor of Jakarta from 2017 to 2022. Furthermore, Hasbiallah hopes that communication between PKB and PDIP can be established quickly so that the deputy governor For more on pdip minta rakyat kawal rapat parlemen senayan (

Habiburokhman finds it challenging to identify who KIM's competitors are in Jakarta. He also questions whether there will be any party joining PKS. "So it is difficult to map out whether there will be another party joining or not," he said.
"We are committed to supporting Anies. Regarding the deputy governor candidate, we will also communicate with PDIP. It could be Anies-Prasetio Edi Marsudi, Chairman of DPRD DKI Jakarta, Kaesang Pangarep, and P Heru Budi Hartono," stated Hasbiallah in a written statement, quoted on June 26, 2024. According to Hasbiallah, any party can promote their cadres as gubernatorial or deputy gubernatorial candidates in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. However, he mentioned that coalition discussions are needed to determine Anies' running mate.
