Not Wanting Sohibul Iman To Be Anies Cawagub In The Jakarta Regional Head Election, PKB Proposes The Name Prasetyo

JAKARTA - Chairman of the DKI Jakarta PKB Regional Leadership Council (DPW) Hasbiallah Ilyas does not agree with the PKS decision to pair Anies Baswedan with the Deputy Chairperson of the PKS Syuro Council to be carried in the 2024 DKI Jakarta Pilkada.

Instead of Sohibul becoming a candidate for Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Hasbi prefers to propose the name of the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Prasetyo Edi Marsudi as Anies' companion.

According to Hasbi, Anies is more suitable to be duet with Prasetyo who is also the chairman of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD.

"Chemistry between Anies-Pras has been built since Anies became Governor of Jakarta and Pras Chairman of the DKI DPRD. This is complete," Hasbi said in his statement, Wednesday, June 26.

Hasbi emphasized that no political party (political party) can carry the cagub-cawagub of DKI Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada without forming a coalition with other political parties.

PKS, which won the 2024 DKI Jakarta DPRD legislative election, continued Hasbi, still lacks 4 seats to be able to carry the cagub-cawagub alone.

Moreover, according to him, PKS is already in a fairly high position in Jakarta by obtaining the seat of Chairman of the DKI DPRD for the period 2024-2029.

"PKS has (get a position) the chairman of the DKI DPRD. Do you want to take the cawagub too? I value Anies-Pras ideal. Both really understand Jakarta. Of course, as a coalition, we cannot decide unilaterally. We will communicate with PDIP and other parties, "said Hasbi.

The chairman of the PKB faction of the DKI DPRD emphasized that the nomination formula in the Jakarta gubernatorial election has not yet been final. Thus, PKB is also still communicating with other parties, especially PDIP, which also plans to carry Anies. PKB is also still open to its cawagub figure.

"Regarding cawagub, we will also communicate with PDIP. It could be Anies-Prasetio Edi Marsudi, Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Kaesang Pangarep, and Acting Heru Budi Hartono," he explained.

PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu officially announced that his party would pair Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman as candidates for Governor and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada.

"The PKS DPP at a meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024 has decided to carry Mr. Anies rasyid Baswedan as a candidate for governor and father Sohibul faith as a candidate for deputy governor," said Syaikhu in Central Jakarta, Tuesday, June 25.

Syaikhu explained the reason for carrying out his cadres, namely the Deputy Chairperson of the PKS Syuro Council Sohibul Iman in the DKI Jakarta Pilkada contestation. According to him, PKS carries a constitutional mandate to carry out regeneration and regeneration of political leadership.

Thus, with his position as the winning party for the 2024 DKI Jakarta DPRD Legislative Election which won 18 seats, PKS felt that it had to carry its cadres in the Jakarta gubernatorial election this year.

"So, PKS will try it as much as possible to propose its own cadres, to become a candidate, is part of being held accountable to constituents including in DKI Jakarta Province as the winning party. It is appropriate and very natural if PKS carries its best cadres to appear as a candidate," explained Syaikhu.
