"It could be (Bambang Pacul), maybe (Ahmad Luthfi)," she said to reporters at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. However, Puan was reluctant to mention the name that PDIP will endorse. She noted that the current names, including Bambang Pacul and Ahmad Luthfi, are very interesting.

"Of course, PKS has the capital and solid standing to determine the mayoral candidate. Hold on, we are expecting guidance from the DPP.

Any task given, we are ready, I must be ready," said Atang on March 24, 2024.

According to Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the Chairman of the Daily Board of the Gerindra Party, this idea is considered by his faction as merely an aspiration. "Yes, what we have is just a discourse in the media, and we consider it just an aspiration and it has not reached the level of party talks within the Advanced Indonesia Coalition," said Dasco at Rumah Kertanegara, South Jakarta, on Friday, (June 7, 2024). Meanwhile, Kaesang mentioned that the decision regarding his nomination for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada will be decided in August. "As I have said before, wait for the surprise in August," remarked Kaesang at the PSI Office in Jakarta, on Friday (June 7, 2024). He hinted that there is a surprise regarding whether he will run in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The youngest son of President Jokowi asked everyone to be patient as the registration for the candidates for governor and deputy governor through political parties will start from August 27 to August 29, 2024. "The registration is still a long way off, it's still in August, at the end of August. Be patient," he stated, according to Antara. Previously, on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the Daily Chairman of the Gerindra Party, posted a photo of Budisatrio Djiwandono alongside Kaesang Pangarep on his personal Instagram account @sufmi_dasco, with the caption "For Jakarta 2024." In addition to posting Budisatrio with Kaesang, Dasco also uploaded a photo of Budisatrio with celebrity Raffi Ahmad in the style of a duo campaign flyer on his personal Instagram. On Thursday, April 18, 2024, Ahmad Muzani, the General Secretary of the Gerindra Party, mentioned that the candidate in preparation for the Jakarta Pilkada is still under consideration. The Gerindra Party possesses several youthful candidates, including Budisatrio Djiwandono and Moreno Soeprapto. "We possess a strong candidate, especially a fresh and young figure," he said at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta. Claimed Prohibition by Jokowi, Kaesang Pangarep: That's Mr. Zulhas's Version of the Story The Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), Kaesang Pangarep, also responded the claim that he was prohibited by President Jokowi from running in the Jakarta Pilkada. As per Kaesang, that version is the Chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, also known as Zulhas. "That's Zulhas's version of the story," he said. He then threw the question back to the media. "So, have you heard my side of the story yet?" questioned Kaesang. Upon hearing this, a number of journalists requested him to explain, but Kaesang chose to decline. "It's a confidential," concluded Kaesang before departing. Previously, Head of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, stated that President Jokowi prohibited his youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep, from running for the Jakarta gubernatorial election. "Earlier, I inquired the President after the meeting. 'Sir, what about Kaesang running for Jakarta deputy governor?' 'Oh no,' he said, 'Don't do it, Mr. Zul,'" Zulhas said at the PAN DPP, South Jakarta, on Monday, (June 3, 2024). Zulkifli Hasan previously suggested that Kaesang pair up with Zita Anjani in the Jakarta Pilkada because he wanted Jakarta to be led by young people. "Kaesang is young, I even proposed it before, 'Sir, I suggested it a year ago, what if Jakarta is led by young people, Kaesang.' That was about a year ago, if I'm not mistaken," he said. Although the Supreme Court (MA) has altered the age limit for regional head candidates, giving Kaesang the opportunity to run for the Jakarta gubernatorial election, Jokowi still prohibited it. "'Now it's permissible, Sir.' I said earlier, yes, then who was the one who filed the lawsuit, right. Now it's allowed, it was legally contested. 'Don't do it, Mr. Zul,' that's about it," he said. PSI Secretary-General Says No Internal Discussion Yet About Kaesang Running for 2024 Pilkada Head of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), Kaesang Pangarep, is a potential to run as a gubernatorial candidate after the Supreme Court (MA) issued a regulation concerning the age of regional head candidates. However, there has been no confirmation from Kaesang on whether he will run for regional head. Kaesang has been rumored to participate in the Jakarta gubernatorial election after his poster appeared alongside Gerindra politician and Prabowo's nephew, Budi Djiwandono. The Secretary-General of PSI, Raja Juli Antoni, revealed that there hasn't been any internal discussion regarding the youngest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) running in the 2024 Pilkada. "No (internal discussion yet)," said Antoni at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, on Monday (June 3, 2024). Antoni stated that whether Kaesang will run this year depends on Kaesang himself. Furthermore, the coalition parties of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) need to deliberate whether it is beneficial for Kaesang to run in the Pilkada or not. "Ask Mas Kaesang," he mentioned. "It depends on Mas Kaesang and KIM what they decide," added Antoni. **2024 Pilkada Schedule** Here is the schedule for the 2024 Pilkada stages: 1.
