The Chairman of the General Election Commission (KPU) RI, Hasyim Asy’ari, emphasized that elected legislative candidates must resign if they have already become regional head candidates or are officially registered as participants in the 2024 Regional Elections (Pilkada).

**Reasons PKS Endorses Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in Jakarta Pilkada 2024** The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has formally endorsed 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 satisfaction 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 acted as the rector of Paramadina University. He has experience 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 conduct cadre and leadership regeneration. Therefore, he said, in the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada, the party will nominate 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 strive to the utmost to nominate its own cadres as candidates,” stated Syaikhu.

“Therefore, once they are determined by the provincial, regency, or city KPU as candidates or pairs of candidates for the 2024 Regional Elections, they must promptly submit a resignation letter as elected candidates,” said Hasyim at the Parliament Building in Senayan, Jakarta (15/5/2024).

**PKS Receives Positive Signal from Surya Paloh to Build Coalition in Jakarta Pilkada** The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has endorsed the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair for the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub. PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu mentioned that the General Chairman of the Nasdem Party, Surya Paloh, has given a positive signal towards this pair. “I am continuously building political communication with the NasDem Party, especially I made an effort to meet Mr. Surya Paloh, alhamdulillah he received me warmly and gave a positive signal to build cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada,” stated Syaikhu at the Sahid Hotel, Jakarta, on Tuesday. Syaikhu stated that PKS needs to build communication with other political parties, including NasDem, to meet the requirements for the nomination of governor and deputy governor in the Jakarta Pilkada. “PKS understands it cannot endorse a candidate alone because the number of seats we have does not yet meet the requirements to nominate independently; we have only 18 seats, and the requirement is 22. So, we still need 4 more seats,” he said. After NasDem, PKS will shortly build communication with the Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin, to build a coalition in the Jakarta Pilkada. “InsyAllah, in the next few days, I will also attempt to communicate with PKB, with Cak Imin,” he concluded.

For information, the registration of regional head candidate pairs will be open from August 27-29, 2024. After registering, the KPU will conduct research and verification of the documents of those who are still prospective candidates. If they meet the requirements, the KPU will determine these prospective candidates as regional head candidate pairs on September 22, 2024. Therefore, if any of them have already been elected as 2024 legislative candidates, they will have approximately one week before being inaugurated as members of the DPR and DPD on October 1, 2024.

Hasyim also reasoned that with an increased number of voters in one TPS, it would facilitate data entry since voters from two TPS are combined into one. “The number 600 is intended to simplify the design of the number of TPS, thus facilitating regrouping or data collection by merging two TPS into one,” he assured.

According to Anies, besides support from the National Awakening Party (Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa) and PKS, there will be other political parties (parties) that will also support his determination. “Alhamdulillah after PKB and PKS, Insyaallah there will be other parties willing to struggle together to restore Jakarta a developed city with content citizens,” said Anies through his Instagram account @aniesbaswedan on June 26, 2024. Anies is currently in Spain. He mentioned that upon returning to the homeland, he will immediately communicate with PKS leadership to discuss further steps for upcoming Jakarta Pilkada 2024. “We have struggled together in Jakarta as well as nationally with PKS, Insyaallah we will continue to fight together in the future,” he said.
