Expected To Be Cagub, PKS President Chooses To Be The Commander Of The 2024 Pilkada
JAKARTA - President of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Ahmad Syaikhu emphasized that he prefers to be the commander of the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Head Election (Pilkada) victory rather than running as a candidate for regional head.
"I submit the existing mechanism, but I myself have more interest in becoming a commander to win the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, April 30.
This was conveyed by Syaikhu, when asked about his readiness to run as a candidate for governor of Jakarta in the November 2024 Pilkada.
"Because if we enter one another in the Pilkada process, of course we cannot move for another victory," he explained.
According to him, PKS has prepared the best cadres for the Jakarta Pilkada. He believes the competence of the cadres is better than himself.
Regarding who will be promoted, Syaikhu stated that he is still waiting for a proposal from the PKS Jakarta Regional Leadership Council (DPW).
Previously, PKS Secretary General Habib Aboe Bakar Alhabsyi said his party had many figures who could be encouraged to advance in the Jakarta Pilkada exchange.
"There are Sohibul Iman, Hidayat Nur Wahid, Tifatul Sembiring, Mardani Ali Sera and Ahmad Syaikhu," he said after meeting the PKB elite in Jakarta (25/4).

Meanwhile, Deputy Chairperson of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Jazilul Fawaid said that PKB and the Prosperous Justice Party have the opportunity for a coalition in the Jakarta Regional Head Election (Pilkada).
"It is enough to carry one pair of candidates," he said at the PKB DPP Office, Jakarta (25/4).
He explained the requirements to support one pair of candidates at least have 22 seats on the Jakarta Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD). "PKB has 10 seats and PKS has 18 seats. So it's more than enough," he said.
