Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Eriko Sotarduga said that if they collaborate with PKB to support Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada, their party would offer the East Java gubernatorial seat from PDIP. "For example, in Jakarta, if PKB becomes the gubernatorial candidate. Can PDIP become the gubernatorial candidate in East Java? It's possible, not a barter, but that’s what cooperation is, we cannot cooperate selfishly, imposing our ego, as we cannot advance alone," said Eriko at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday.

This is why he has not yet put up campaign tools such as billboards on the streets. According to him, if he had intentions to run for DKI Jakarta governor, banners supporting him would already be scattered on the streets. "If I had indications for Jakarta, there would probably be banners, declarations, but not yet," he said, as quoted by Antara.

This brings his name closer to fighting in Jakarta. However, parties within the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), for instance Golkar, are still considering whether to advance Ridwan Kamil, alias RK, in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. One reason is his potential to secure the West Java Pilkada. Nevertheless, RK is considered the most potential candidate. Despite this, the situation remains very dynamic.

PKS Calls on NasDem and PKB to Back Anies-Sohibul Iman Ahmad Syaikhu aims to engage other political parties to endorse the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman duo in the 2024 regional election. Syaikhu noted that his party lacks the necessary seats to officially propose the gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates in the Jakarta Pilkada. "Therefore, we have already spoken with our coalition partners from the presidential race," said

Meanwhile, Acting Governor of West Sulawesi Bahtiar Baharuddin affirmed his commitment to implementing the central government's directives to ensure the success of the regional elections. He also mentioned the availability of the budget and facilitation as regulated by the law.

According to Anies, besides support from the National Awakening Party (PKB) and PKS, there will be other political parties (parties) that will also back his resolve. "Alhamdulillah after PKB and PKS, God willing there will be other parties willing to fight together to restore Jakarta a modern city with happy citizens," stated Anies through his Instagram account @aniesbaswedan on Wednesday. Anies is currently in Spain. He mentioned that upon returning to the homeland, he will immediately communicate with PKS leadership to discuss further steps for upcoming Jakarta Pilkada 2024. "We have struggled together in Jakarta as well as nationally with PKS, God willing we will continue to fight together in the future," he stated.

Meanwhile, Ridwan Kamil revealed that he has secured task letters to run in the 2024 Pilkada. However, he has not determined whether to contest in the West Java or Jakarta Pilkada. According to him, this is still being deliberated at the Golkar Party DPP and will be resolved soon. "Still considering, just wait until July," Ridwan Kamil said when met by reporters at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali Airport on Friday, May 31, 2024.

Head of Lingkar Madani (Lima), Ray Rangkuti, admitted surprise at PKS's passive move. "I am surprised by PKS. They were very quick. Even before the banana leaf turned yellow, they had already reversed their policy," said Ray in a written statement on June 26, 2024. According to Ray, this move by PKS is a sign of PKS's weakness in negotiation and lobbying. At least, PKS has lost the opportunity twice to place their cadre in the gubernatorial position. "PKS's weakness is their negotiation and lobbying ability. In the Jakarta political scene, PKS has accepted negotiation defeats at least twice. First, when Mardani Ali Sera was dropped as a deputy gubernatorial candidate and when they lost the right to get the gubernatorial position when Sandiaga ran as a vice-presidential candidate," explained Ray.

Echoing Adi, political observer from Al-Azhar University, Ujang Komarudin, stated that so far, political elite are still watching each other. Thus, definitive names for the Jakarta contest have yet to emerge. However, he views the statement from the Gerindra Party as a win-win solution. "West Java wants to be won by KIM, Jakarta also wants to be won by KIM," he said.

According to Ujang, this win-win solution can already be seen. For instance, in West Java, Gerindra Party is open to nominating Dedi Mulyadi, who has already become their cadre. Therefore, they are pushing RK to run in Jakarta. "In West Java, Gerindra might want to take it with Dedi Mulyadi as the gubernatorial candidate and Ridwan Kamil from Golkar in Jakarta. This is a win-win solution for KIM to win in both regions," he said.

**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 Tuesday. 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.
