JAKARTA - The National Awakening Party (PKB) is still opening the door to Anies Baswedan to be promoted as a candidate for Governor of DKI Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada. Until now, Anies has not announced whether he will run in the DKI gubernatorial election or not. Treasurer Desk of the PKB Pilkada Ahmad Iman Syukri explained that his party would meet the former Governor of DKI Jakarta to meet Anies specifically to discuss this matter. "We are assigned by our Ketum (Muhaimin Iskandar) to communicate with Mr. Anies Baswedan. It is possible that next week the Chairperson of the Pilkada Decree will meet Mr. Anies Baswedan," said Iman at the PKB DPP office, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, May 29. Although he has not yet decided to carry it in the DKI Pilkada, Iman admitted that Anies is one of the main choices of PKB to carry, in addition to the option to advance its cadres, namely Ida Fauziyah and Hasbiallah Ilyas. Given, Anies' electability in Jakarta is still quite high. "So far, Mr. Anies' survey is still high. Regarding representatives and various things, just communicate it. Maybe next week we will meet, hopefully this DKI will fix it soon," explained Iman. Previously, PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin) welcomed Anies if he wanted to run again as a candidate for governor of Jakarta. However, he said, PKB will still discuss internally about the candidates to be promoted in the regional elections. "Yes, if I personally am very happy if Anies is carried it will indeed be part of togetherness so far. But we will wait for the pilkada desk process which will discuss with all levels of DPW, DPC," explained Cak Imin. The deputy chairman of the DPR revealed that there had been no discussion at the PKB regarding the recommendation for Anies to run for the Jakarta Regional Election. He said the internal PKB would only discuss this next week.

"Not yet, not yet next week. At the end of this month, all regional elections including DKI will be discussed, "said Cak Imin.
