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 June 25, 2024. "The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) in its meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, has decided to nominate Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as the prospective governor and Mr. Sohibul Iman as the prospective deputy governor," stated Syaikhu. He explained that the decision by the PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) 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 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.

Additionally, he mentioned that the party also considered various inputs from figures, clerics, religious leaders, cross-sect leaders, scholars, and the public in Jakarta. "The main aspects considered were candidates with good leadership experience in both the executive and legislative branches, a proven track record, credibility, capacity, and a high probability of winning," he said. Furthermore, Syaikhu believes that the Anies-Sohibul Iman pair is a good match. According to Syaikhu, they complement each other for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. "Some have already coined the acronym AMAN (Anies-Sohibul Iman). Whatever the name, Anies-Sohibul Iman has the qualifications to complement each other and lead DKI Jakarta," said Syaikhu.

Previously, KPU RI member Idham Holik mentioned that using Sirekap in the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections aims for public transparency. "We will use Sirekap, and the legal considerations from the Constitutional Court's recent ruling will guide our evaluation and improvement of Sirekap for the regional elections on November 27, 2024," said Idham when met by the media at the KPU RI Office in Jakarta on Tuesday, April 23, 2024.

Betty also emphasized that Sirekap for the 2024 Regional Elections will be enhanced and easier to use, given that the number of ballots prepared will not be as many as in the 2024 Legislative Elections. "The number of candidates for the regional elections is not as many as for the legislative elections, for example, for governor and deputy governor and simultaneously for one of them, mayor or regent and their deputies," explained Betty.

Furthermore, public reaction has been very notable in response to the news that Ahmad and Ganinduto will pair up in the upcoming election. As a spouse, Chacha Frederica confirms she will always support Ganinduto's choice to compete in the Central Java Pilkada, including her husband's move to invite Raffi Ahmad to join the political contest. "As long as my husband is with Raffi, I pray for the best," said Chacha Frederica regarding the Pilkada to the press in the Tendean district, South Jakarta, Tuesday (28/5/2024). "During the photoshoot, Gigi was also there. So, Gigi and I as wives support our husbands as long as it is positive, good, and beneficial for many people. Yes, we support it," Chacha Frederica added.

**Prepare Alternatives** The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) proposed PKS Deputy Chair of the Syuro Council Mohamad Sohibul Iman as a prospective gubernatorial candidate for the Special Capital Region of Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada. Regarding this, political analyst Adi Prayitno sees this as a reasonable move. He noted that in addition to being a cadre party, PKS also has high voter support in Jakarta. "I think it is quite rational for PKS to propose their internal cadre, Sohibul Iman, to run in the Jakarta Pilgub. There are two reasons: first, PKS is a cadre party that has always put forward its cadres to compete in Pilkada, not only in Jakarta but also in other regions," he stated to Liputan6.com on Monday. "The second reason is the significant increase in PKS's legislative vote count in 2024, making them the highest vote-winner in Jakarta. These two variables explain why PKS proposed their internal cadre," he continued.

"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 proposing their cadre to anticipate serious offers to be Ridwan Kamil's running mate," he explained.

"In the current election, we have to be realistic. For example, why are we communicating with PKS when there has never been cooperation between PDIP and PKS before? With the condition of KIM possibly forming in West Java, it leaves only PDIP, PKS, PPP. We don't know about NasDem, whether they will join the government. PKB has already, and we are continuously communicating with PPP and PKS," explained Ono
