Electability Is Still High, PKS DPP Considers Carrying Anies In The Jakarta Gubernatorial Election

JAKARTA - The PKS DPP considers Anies Baswedan to be promoted again in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. This consideration is because the electability of the former governor of DKI Jakarta is still quite high.

"If you look at the level of satisfaction between Jakarta residents with Pak Anies' very high performance, I think that is one indication that the people of Jakarta still want Pak Anies as a candidate for governor," said Deputy Chairman of the PKS Syuro Council, HidayatNurWahid, Friday, June 14.

Hidayat admitted that the PKS Jakarta DPW had expressed support for Anies as Jakarta's cagub. However, he said, the PKS DPP was still considering that Anies had already been nominated by PKS in the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial election and when he was a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

"Registration is still quite long, of course, everything is considered very well. But Mr. Anies in the context of PKS, it's the 2017 one nominating to Mr. Anies, PKS," he explained.

To be sure, added the Deputy Chairperson of the MPR, PKS will support figures who consistently fight for the people of Jakarta. PKS, he said, would fight to win the Jakarta gubernatorial election.

"Because the PKS has been mandated by the people to be the winner of the legislative elections in Jakarta, at the provincial level of the DPRD and the national level of the DPR," concluded Hidayat.
