The meeting addressed inflation and the 2024 local elections (Pilkada). "Oh yes, when party leaders meet, they discuss many things. But what we talked about was inflation. We also discussed the Pilkada," Zulhas told reporters at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta, Friday, June 14, 2024. Zulkifli Hasan said he suggested ex-Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, to be put forward for the 2023 Jakarta Pilkada. According to him, the proposal was agreed upon by the party leaders who attended the gathering. "Yes, I proposed Ridwan Kamil in Jakarta, and everyone was in agreement," he remarked. When asked whether Kaesang might run with Ridwan Kamil in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada, Zulhas mentioned that it has not been decided yet. However, he stated that the party leaders required Kaesang to secure the Pilkada. "Yes, I believe so. I reported at that time to the President whether Kaesang would be allowed to. The President responded, 'No'. But the parties require him," he added. "Yes, but the parties require him. For what? To win," continued. He thinks that Ridwan Kamil wouldn't mind whoever accompanies him in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada, as long as it brings victory. Zulkifli Hasan mentioned that Ridwan Kamil's deputy will be decided by the party leaders. "Mr. RK (Ridwan Kamil) would accept anyone as long as they win. As long as they win, we will decide together," noted Zulhas.

**PKS Receives Positive Signal from Surya Paloh to Build Coalition in Jakarta Pilkada** The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has nominated the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman duo 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 duo. "I'm 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 June 25. Syaikhu said 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 stated. 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. "God willing, in the next few days, I will also attempt to communicate with PKB, with Cak Imin," he concluded.

Syaikhu explained that the DPP PKS decision to nominate 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 put forward the DKI gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, followed by the DKI deputy gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, which includes a request to endorse and confirm Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Mr. Mohammad Sohibul Iman as cagub and cawagub for DKI," said Syaikhu.
