JAKARTA - The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) received the most votes in the Legislative Election (Pileg) of the DKI Jakarta DPRD in the results of the vote count on the website of the General Election Commission (KPU).

Based on data updates as of 18.06 WIB with data coming in 51.49 percent, the KPU website noted that PKS received the highest votes with a percentage of 16.34 percent.

Meanwhile, the PDI-P, which is the winning party for the 2019 DKI DPRD Legislative Election, ranks second at 14.06 percent. Then, the third occupied by the Gerindra Party was 12.07 percent.

Secretary of the DKI Jakarta PKS DPW Abdul Aziz admitted that the large number of PKS votes in Jakarta that jumped from third in the 2019 Pileg to first place was temporarily influenced by the role of Anies Baswedan.

"If I look at it (political attitude) consistently, that's one reason. However, there may be another effect, the effect of Mr. Anies is also there," Aziz said when contacted, Monday, February 26.

Since the beginning of Anies' progress in the 2017 DKI Pilkada, PKS has been one of the parties that carries it. PKS also always supports Anies' policies during his tenure as Governor of DKI for the 2017-2022 period.

PKS is also one of the parties that carries Anies as a presidential candidate (candidate) in the 2024 presidential election in pairs with the vice presidential candidate Muhaimin Iskandar.

"People who support Pak Anies as president see the party that is most suitable to be elected, it may be PKS. Yes, there is an element like that," said Aziz.

In addition, according to Aziz, the role of support for a number of religious leaders also helped boost PKS' electability.

"Of course, community support, community leaders, religious leaders, both formal and informal who have been entrusting their aspirations to PKS and choosing PKS, yes, that's quite a big role," he concluded.
