On the other hand, with Sohibul Iman running, Adi also noted that PKS might be aiming to partner with Anies Baswedan. “At the same time, PKS is certainly preparing Sohibul Iman to potentially partner with Anies Baswedan. PKS is quite closely associated with Anies Baswedan. This seems to be PKS’s goal, not to lose momentum as the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta and to ensure their cadre is proposed either as governor or deputy governor,” he explained.

**Anticipate Offers for PKS** Adi also sees this as PKS’s effort to anticipate offers from the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), which is serious about nominating Ridwan Kamil for Jakarta. “At the same time, PKS is a political party highly sought after by other contestants to be their vice-candidate. For example, there was an offer from the KIM camp for PKS to be Ridwan Kamil’s running mate. In this context, PKS is deliberately proposing their cadre to anticipate serious offers to be Ridwan Kamil’s running mate,” he said.

**PKS to Invite PDIP to Support Anies-Sohibul Iman Pair** Additionally, Syaikhu mentioned that PKS is also open to forming a coalition with PDIP to jointly endorse the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman duo in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. “Yes, it is very possible (a coalition with PDIP) if we invite other parties to endorse this pair,” said Syaikhu. However, Syaikhu admitted that he has not yet communicated with PDIP regarding the Jakarta Pilkada. “I haven’t talked officially,” he said. Even so, Syaikhu emphasized that his party will first fight for the Anies and PKS internal cadre Sohibul Iman pair for the Jakarta Pilkada. “God willing, this (Anies-Sohibul Iman) is what we will fight for until registration at KPUD,” said Syaikhu.

The Executive Director of Indonesian Political Parameters stated that the present conditions and situation are still very dynamic, considering that the Pilkada is still six months away. Therefore, it is natural for political leaders to still be discussing potential names to propose. However, based on current survey data, there are only two major names. “Anies is still the strongest, closely followed by RK,” he said, as quoted on Saturday (8/6/2024). Other names, although appearing in surveys, are still not competitive enough to contend with Anies Baswedan or RK. “If a name like Anies can run, the only suitable opponent is RK. Other names are not yet competitive,” Adi said.

Anies Baswedan only smiled slightly when he was informed of the claims of Jokowi’s intervention. He did not want to comment further on the matter. “All processes are still in progress, just let it flow,” Baswedan said when met after attending a reunion with the DKI Jakarta Pemuda Pancasila MPW in Pejaten, South Jakarta, on June 19, 2024. Furthermore, Baswedan said that he currently gives importance to issues related to the welfare of Jakarta residents over other matters. “For us, the chief matter is the well-being of Jakarta residents. It’s not about who will be the running mate, that’s not the point, and the process is still long, just go with the flow,” Baswedan said. Before this, the Chairman of the DPP PDI Perjuangan, Djarot S., assessed that there were signs that President Joko Widodo would intervene again in the 2024 Pilkada. In response to Jokowi’s Intention to Distribute Aid Ahead of Pilkada This was regarding President Joko Widodo’s intention to continue giving out welfare assistance in the form of rice until December. “We not only sense interference but see it clearly and openly, in Javanese it’s cetho welo-welo,” said Djarot at the Head Office of PDI Perjuangan, Diponegoro Street, Jakarta, on May 16, 2024. “Meaning, the involvement is very clear, very visible. It’s very evident,” he added. Djarot highlighted that the prolongation of social assistance until December amounts to an overreach. PDIP Requests Election Commission and Supervisory Body to Address the Issue Therefore, PDI Perjuangan asked the Electoral Commission and the Election Oversight Body (Bawaslu) to look into these indications. Hidayat desires that the overreach by President Widodo, which occurred during the 2024 Presidential Election, will not be repeated in the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections. “We really request the electoral authorities, to truly supervise. Including the media and the youth. Especially since the bansos will be continued until December,” he highlighted.

A Joke In Between Pals
The highlight of their event was a funny exchange about who would certainly spend for the iftar meal. Raffi amusingly recommended that Gibran, the Vice President-Elect, must treat him, to which Gibran replied in a common Jokowi household fashion– calm and spirited– that they would pay separately. This light-hearted small talk brought giggling and showcased their realistic characters.

“We are not opening an eligibility or proper test; we already know Mr. Anies’ quality. He was already a presidential candidate,” said Ahmad Syaikhu at the PKS Central Executive Board, Jakarta, quoted Wednesday (June 19, 2024) .
