Mohamad Sohibul Iman has been officially promoted by the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) to run as a candidate for governor of Jakarta. Furthermore, PKS spokesman Ahmad Mabruri said that the person who will accompany the Deputy Chairperson of the PKS Syuro Council in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada will still wait for the development of the coalition.

"With whom Mr. Sohibul Iman is paired, later we will see the composition of the coalition that was formed. So it does not mean that the party has no cadres, it has, but who is the partner will wait for the coalition to be formed, who will be promoted into a cagub and cawagub," said Ahmad Mabruri in a video message received in Jakarta, reported by ANTARA, Sunday, June 23.

For this reason, he asked the public to wait for the PKS' official declaration with other political parties to announce the candidate pair for governor and deputy governor who will be promoted in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

"The declaration will be made according to the right time, so just wait," he said.

He also explained that since the beginning PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu had given directions to his party ranks to carry their own cadres in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

The name Sohibul Iman, he said, was finally determined as a candidate for governor to be carried out in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada in an internal meeting held by his party.

"At yesterday's meeting we decided that in fact we will carry Muhammad Sohibul Iman, former PKS President, former Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives, and former Chancellor of Paramadina University," he said.

Previously, PKS proposed the name of the Deputy Chairperson of the PKS Syuro Council Mohamad Sohibul Iman to be promoted as a candidate for governor in the 2024 DKI Jakarta Regional Head Election.

"The mandate that we carry is Mohamad Sohibul Iman, who currently serves as Deputy Chair of the PKS Syuro Council," said PKS spokesman Ahmad Mabruri in a statement received in Jakarta, Sunday.

He said PKS won the highest vote in Jakarta in the 2024 General Election so that he decided to fight for his best cadre as a candidate for governor in the 2024 Pilkada.

According to him, Sohibul Iman is a figure who has qualified integrity and capacity, has a long track record in political work in the country, until he is known as a Muslim technocrat and scholar.
