PKS Spokesperson Pipin Sopian said that his party prefers having two coalitions.

Similarly, political analyst from UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, Adi Prayitno, sees PKS’s move to bring up the name Sohibul Iman as a political bargaining chip for anyone wanting to form a coalition in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. According to Adi, PKS wants to increase its bargaining position because it is the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta. Additionally, the solid voter base and constituency make PKS confident in proposing its own cadre. “In this context, PKS seems to be sending a strong signal to those wanting to form a coalition, including Anies Baswedan, that it is essential to include Sohibul Iman as a running mate,” stated Adi Prayitno to Liputan6.com on Monday, June 24, 2024. “Or, if Ridwan Kamil from KIM is interested in making PKS a coalition partner, then Sohibul Iman must be his running mate,” Adi continued.

**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 nominate 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,” said Adi.

As the main actor in winning, and as a figure who can secure Jakarta 1 or Jakarta 2. That’s the point,” said Adi.

This is because the chances of winning are higher as the election will not go to two rounds. “Yes, actually, two or three coalitions are interesting. For us, two coalitions are more attractive; our chances of winning are higher. If there are three coalitions, it could go to two rounds, which we are also considering,” stated Pipin at the Sahid Hotel, Jakarta, on June 25. Pipin said that the possibility of forming a new coalition for the Jakarta Pilgub is still open. However, this must be discussed with other political parties (parpol). “All these possibilities exist, and we are just one party among many, so we need to talk together,” he said.

**Sohibul Iman Not at the Same Level as Anies and Ridwan Kamil** According to Jamiluddin, Sohibul Iman is not a suitable choice for the Jakarta gubernatorial race. His popularity and electability are far below the names that have already surfaced, especially Anies Baswedan and Ridwan Kamil. This can be seen from several survey institutions that have released their results. “Given that Sohibul Iman does not yet have electability, his market value is very low on paper. Therefore, Sohibul Iman is not a worthy opponent for Anies Baswedan,” stated Jamil. “Comparing Sohibul Iman with Anies in the Jakarta Pilgub is like comparing night and day. Sohibul Iman’s level is not comparable to Anies’s level,” Jamil added. Jamil assesses that PKS is very daring if they truly propose Sohibul Iman as the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. Although Jamil acknowledges Sohibul Iman’s proven political career and loyalty to the party, his popularity and electability are hurdles if forced to run as Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. “Therefore, he is not suitable to be proposed as a gubernatorial candidate. PKS’s party machinery does not seem capable of significantly boosting Sohibul Iman’s popularity and electability. It will be very difficult to even approach Anies Baswedan and Ridwan Kamil’s popularity and electability,” said Jamil. “PKS is too confident and daring without considering its cadre’s capacity to win in the Jakarta Pilkada,” Jamil stated.

“Ahmad Ali is the most liked because he has reached the most voters through various socialization activities, including outdoor attributes, media coverage, social media, and direct engagement with residents, both personally and through his volunteers,” said Executive Director of Indikator, Burhanuddin Muhtadi, in a statement received on Monday, June 24, 2024.

“We have notes from the previous presidential and legislative elections. We all agree on several issues such as the neutrality of the TNI-Polri, the use of the state budget (APBN), regional budget (APBD), and government programs. Hopefully, this will not happen again in the Pilkada, and this is our shared commitment,” said Ono .

“As the Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party, I am giving a recommendation letter as a form of our support to the candidate pair, Mr. Ahmad Ali and Mr. Abdul Karim Aljufri, as governor and deputy governor candidates for Central Sulawesi for 2024-2029,” said PSI Chairman Kaesang Pangarep at the PSI Central Executive Board, Central Jakarta, Friday (June 7, 2024) .
