JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Kaesang Pangarep admitted that he accepted if he received an offer to be paired with Anies Baswedan in the 2024 DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election. "I don't have a problem if later it will be paired with Pak Anies," said Kaesang at the PSI DPP office, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, June 12. Although he has not yet decided whether to run for the DKI Jakarta Pilkada, President Joko Widodo's son assesses that there will be a positive impact if he is paired with Anies. According to Kaesang, the former Governor of DKI Jakarta has high electability and is supported by many Jakartans to return to leadership. "It doesn't matter, I think it's also good. I think Mr. Anies is also now the highest survey," said Kaesang. Chairman of the PKB Jakarta Regional Leadership Council (DPW) Hasbiallah Ilyas admitted that his party had established communication with PSI regarding coalition opportunities in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. "There is already a coalition, which has been discussed, the point is that there is currently communication with PSI," said Hasbi at the DPW PKB Jakarta Office, East Jakarta, Wednesday, June 12. DPW PKB Jakarta has officially supported Anies Baswedan to be promoted as a candidate for Governor of Jakarta 2024. Thus, Hasbi opened the opportunity to pair Anies with PSI Chairman who is also the youngest son of President Joko Widodo, Kaesang Pangarep.

"We are open to anyone's deputy governor, including Mas Kaesang. We are willing if Mas Kaesang really wants to nominate the Deputy Governor of DKI," said Hasbi.
