Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Muhaimin Iskandar denied that his party had prepared its cadre Ida Fauziyah to run as a candidate for Governor of DKI Jakarta in the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada.

Previously, one of the party's internal cadres who was rumored to be promoted in the DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election was Ida Fauziyah who is also the Minister of Manpower. However, Cak Imin emphasized that there had been no official discussion.

"Until now, PKB has not discussed the regional elections. PKB has not yet," said Cak Imin in Jakarta, quoted Wednesday, April 17.

In fact, the vice presidential candidate pair Anies Baswedan admitted that his party would still form a winning team for the regional elections in the next few days.

"The new regional election team will be decided in the next 2 days, so there has been no discussion yet," he continued.

Meanwhile, previously PKB Secretary General Hasanuddin Wahid revealed that his party was eyeing the names of two cadres who had the opportunity to be promoted in the election for the Governor and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta.

The two names are Ida Fauziyah and DKI Jakarta DPRD Member Hasbiallah Ilyas. The two cadres have now passed the DPR legislative election.

"There is a lot of stock for PKB for DKI. There are members of the DPR RI elected South Jakarta, Mrs. Ida Fauziah. There is a chairman of the DPD PKB who was also elected as a member of the DPR RI in East Jakarta, Mr. Hasbiallah Ilyas," Hasanuddin said at NasDem Tower, Gondangdia, Central Jakarta, Friday, March 15.

However, Hasanuddin admitted that the two names of PKB cadres proposed to be the cagub of DKI still needed to be discussed with the two coalition parties, namely NasDem and PKS.

"Well, it's up to friends from Nasdem and PKS, these names deserve to be considered or not. Yes, if not, we'll look for a bigger name," said Hasanuddin.
