PKS Calls on NasDem and PKB to Back Anies-Sohibul Iman A. Syaikhu plans to invite other political parties to endorse the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman duo in the Jakarta election 2024. Syaikhu stated that his party lacks the necessary seats to register the candidates for governor and deputy governor in the Jakarta Pilkada. “Therefore, we have already talked with our coalition partners from the presidential race,” said

**Sohibul Iman Ready to Run for Jakarta Governor** Deputy Chair of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Syuro Council Mohamad Sohibul Iman admitted he is ready to run as a gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. Sohibul stated he had been informed by the PKS DPP about the decision to propose him as a gubernatorial candidate in the Jakarta Pilkada. However, he said he has no special preparation. “I have no special preparation, but as a party cadre, I must always be ready to accept any mandate,” stated Sohibul Iman when confirmed, quoted on Monday, June 24, 2024. According to Sohibul, the PKS DPP decision is a follow-up to the recommendation from the PKS DKI Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW). His name emerged from several other names also proposed by the PKS DKI Jakarta DPW, such as PKS DPP Chair Mardani Ali Sera, PKS DKI Chair Khoirudin, and former Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan. “This mandate is an aspiration (proposal, desire, and hope) from the DKI cadre and inspiration (thoughts, considerations, and decisions) from the Central Leadership,” stated Sohibul. Therefore, Sohibul Iman stated he would accept the task given by PKS to run in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial race. “As a cadre, it is not appropriate for me to ignore the cadre’s aspirations and the leadership’s inspiration,” stated Sohibul.

Syaikhu emphasized that PKS is a cadre party with a mandate to promote and regenerate political leadership. Therefore, he said, in the 2024 Pilkada, his party will endorse cadres to run as regional head candidates. “Especially in core regions where PKS is the leading party or holds the majority of DPRD seats. PKS will strive to endorse its own cadres as candidates,” said Syaikhu.

PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu shared the reasons for nominating Baswedan and Iman for the Jakarta election in 2024. Anies is seen as a successful leader during his term as Jakarta Governor. According to Syaikhu, Anies’ tenure has pleased the people of Jakarta. “Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan successfully served as governor from 2017-2022 with various successes in multiple sectors of development, enhancing the metropolis and delighting its citizens,” said Syaikhu at the opening of the Leadership Academy at the Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. Meanwhile, Sohibul Iman, Syaikhu stated, is a academic with a proven track record in government. “Mr. Sohibul Iman is a policy specialist and a scholar who was the rector of Paramadina University. He has experience in the house as Deputy Speaker of the DPR RI for the 2013-2014 term and previously was the president of PKS from 2015-2020,” clarified Syaikhu.

**PKS Invites NasDem and PKB to Support Anies-Sohibul Iman Pair** Ahmad Syaikhu will invite other political parties (parpol) to support the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. According to Syaikhu, his party still lacks the seats needed to register gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates in the Jakarta Pilkada. “Therefore, we have already communicated with our coalition from the previous presidential election,” said Syaikhu. In the 2024 presidential election, PKS joined a coalition with the NasDem Party and the National Awakening Party (Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa) to endorse the number one pair Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN). According to Syaikhu, he has communicated with NasDem Party Chairman Surya Paloh. Syaikhu stated that Surya Paloh welcomed the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair positively. “Praise be to God, Mr. Surya Paloh also gave a positive signal for this nomination,” explained Syaikhu. Communication, Syaikhu continued, If you liked this article and you would certainly such as to obtain more info concerning Prestasi Wiz Khalifa MTVu kindly see the web site. will soon be continued to other political parties, including with PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin). “He (Cak Imin) is on a flight, so Insyaallah, we will communicate after this. We will communicate and meet PKB too, hopefully we can unite in nominating leadership in DKI Jakarta,” said Syaikhu.

**PKS Does Not Want to Be Just a Ronin** Political analyst Adi Prayitno believes that PKS’s decision to nominate 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,” said Adi. Therefore, Adi assesses 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,” stated 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.
