This announcement was made by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in his speech at the Party Leadership School titled ‘Continuing to Defend the People’ at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday. “The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) in its meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, has decided to endorse Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as the prospective governor and Mr. Sohibul Iman as the prospective deputy governor,” said Syaikhu. He clarified that the decision by the PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) to endorse Anies and Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub was based on the proposal from the PKS DKI Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW). “I have received a letter from the DPW DKI Jakarta structure that has nominated the DKI gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, followed by the DKI deputy gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, requesting approval and establishment of Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Mr. Mohammad Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates,” stated Syaikhu.

Sudirman understands the DPP PKS decision to support an internal cadre. According to Sudirman, Sohibul Iman is the best cadre who has also led PKS. Sohibul, Wibi continued, has proven successful in increasing PKS’s votes in Jakarta and has navigated through difficult times. He successfully increased PKS’s seats in parliament from 40 seats in 2014 to 50 seats in the 2019 election period.

Previously, the President of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), Ahmad Syaikhu, officially announced the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The announcement was the result of a Central Leadership Council (DPTP) PKS meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024.

“As the winning party in Jakarta, PKS has decided to advocate for its best cadre as the candidate for Governor of Jakarta. The candidate we are nominating is Mohamad Sohibul Iman, who currently serves as the Deputy Chair of the PKS Syuro Council,” stated Mabruri in his statement on Sunday. Mabruri added that Sohibul Iman is a figure with adequate capacity. Sohibul Iman led PKS during the 2015-2020 period. “This means he has proven leadership in elevating PKS. He also has a long track record in the political arena,” clarified Mabruri.

**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 nominating their cadre to anticipate serious offers to be Ridwan Kamil’s running mate,” he said.

**Proposing Anies** Previously, the Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW) of PKS nominated Anies Baswedan to run as a gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The PKS DPP is requesting the deputy gubernatorial seat. PKS Syuro Council Deputy Chair Hidayat Nur Wahid (HNW) mentioned that Anies’s name is indeed being discussed externally. Thus, PKS requests that its cadre be Anies’s deputy if the PKS DPP supports Anies. “For example, if Mr. Anies is the gubernatorial candidate from PKS, and he is also proposed by other parties, making him a cross-party candidate, then it is only fair that PKS proposes the deputy governor from PKS,” said HNW during an interview at the PKS DPP office, Jakarta, on Tuesday. He explained the strong reason for the party’s request for the deputy gubernatorial seat. “In the previous period, PKS supported Mr. Anies as the gubernatorial candidate, but the deputy was not from PKS. It is only fair now that PKS gets the deputy position. Once again, PKS is very capable of providing a competent deputy governor,” he stated.

According to Syaikhu, Anies-Iman has the qualifications, compatibility, and complementary qualities needed to complete Jakarta’s development. Syaikhu believes that Anies was successful as governor with various achievements in different development sectors, advancing the city, and making the residents happy. Meanwhile, Sohibul Iman is a technocrat and scholar who once served as rector at Paramadina University. Additionally, he has experience as the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2013-2014 and served as the President of PKS from 2015-2020.
