**PKB: We Want to Build Jakarta with PDIP** The National Awakening Party (PKB) expressed a desire to work together with the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) to build Jakarta. PKB Secretary-General Hasanuddin Wahid stated that PKB cadres and grassroots are pushing for Anies Baswedan to run in the Jakarta Pilkada. According to him, the decision would be even more effective if PDIP joins in supporting Anies. "Basically, we want to build Jakarta together, and PDIP also joins in," said Hasanuddin Wahid to reporters on June 25, 2024. Hasanuddin mentioned that if PDIP joins PKB and PKS in supporting Anies, it would be even better and increase the chances of winning. "We are happy, the more support for Mas Anies, the better," he said.

**Reasons PKS Nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada** The Prosperous Justice Party (Partai Keadilan Sejahtera) officially endorsed Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial and cawagub candidates for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu revealed 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's performance has made happiness to the residents of Jakarta. "Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan succeeded as governor during the 2017-2022 period with various accomplishments in different sectors of development, advancing the city and satisfaction to its residents," said 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 served as the rector of Paramadina University. He has served 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 carry out 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 endeavor to the utmost to nominate its own cadres as candidates," said Syaikhu.

"We all must always be ready to establish synergy and cooperation with media colleagues in creating a conducive climate ahead of this simultaneous Pilkada, helping the public to obtain information wisely, balanced, and responsibly," said Kartiko

Moreover, the decision to nominate Anies-Iman is primarily a result of public criticism suggesting that nominating Sohibul Iman was not a strategic move. "The name Sohibul Iman clearly lacks appeal in Jakarta. This situation gave Anies's supporters within PKS the opportunity to push for the Anies-Iman pair," he stated. Thus, Ray believes there were no external circumstances compelling PKS to hastily declare Anies-Iman. The declaration of Anies-Iman does not benefit Anies's position at all. "Pairing Anies-Iman is like pairing two brothers. Anies's voters are PKS supporters. PKS supporters' idol is Anies. So, there is no added value for this pair. They are just circling within their own inner circle," stated Ray. This situation, Ray said, provides a fresh opportunity for other candidates who can accommodate Jakarta's pluralism to confidently enter the Jakarta Pilkada. "Anies needs another figure who strengthens his identity beyond just one circle. The face of Jakarta is plural. Candidates should accommodate Jakarta's pluralistic face in their pair selection. Broadening, not narrowing. Opening up, not closing down. Therefore, this situation provides a fresh breeze for other candidates to confidently enter Jakarta," Ray concluded.

Therefore, he continued, KPU DKI Jakarta will conduct data matching and verification (Coklit) from house to house to ensure the voter data matches the current DPT. "We need to update and ensure that KPU fulfills the constitutional rights of citizens to use their voting rights in the DKI Jakarta Pilkada," he said.

**KPU DKI Prepares for Two-Round Jakarta Pilkada** The DKI Jakarta General Election Commission (Komisi Pemilihan Umum) is preparing for the stages or second round of the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub. Especially since the two-round Pilgub is unique to Jakarta as a special region. This was conveyed by DKI Jakarta KPU Chairman Wahyu Dinata at the Launch of the Stages, Jingle, and Mascot for the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub at the South Side of the National Monument (Monas), Central Jakarta, on Saturday night (May 25, 2024). The event was also attended by KPU RI Commissioner Betty Epsilon Idroos, August Mellaz, Head of the Jakarta National Unity and Political Agency (Kesbangpol) Taufan Bakri, and members of the Regional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda). "The DKI Jakarta KPU has also planned the second stage, which is only implemented in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta as mandated by Law Number 2 of 2024 concerning the Special Region of Jakarta," said Wahyu.
