JAKARTA - Supporters of Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD in the 2024 presidential election are still actively commenting on political contestation. They also did not hesitate to criticize strong figures running for the 2024 Pilkada.

The latest satire was directed at PSI Chairman Kaesang Pangarep who was predicted to be Anies Baswedan's companion in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. That's because Anies-Sohibul Iman was officially promoted by PKS today.

"Don't cry, Mas Kaesang @kaesangp," commented Topan-National Economy Team, one of Ganjar's supporting accounts on social media X, Tuesday, June 25. Previously, PKS officially announced the duet of Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman as a candidate for governor and deputy governor of Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada.

"The PKS DPP at a meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024 has decided to carry Mr. Anies rasyid Baswedan as a candidate for governor and Mr. Sohibul of faith as a candidate for deputy governor," said PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in Jakarta, Tuesday, June 25.

Syaikhu explained the reason for carrying out the Deputy Chairperson of the PKS Syuro Council Sohibul Iman as a PKS cadre for carrying out the constitutional mandate of regeneration and regeneration of political leadership.

As the winning party for the 2024 DKI DPRD Legislative Election with 18 seats, PKS feels the need to carry its cadres in this year's Jakarta gubernatorial election.

"So, PKS will try it as much as possible to propose its own cadres, to become a candidate, is part of being held accountable to constituents including in DKI Jakarta Province as the winning party. It is appropriate and very natural if PKS carries its best cadres to appear as a candidate," said Syaikhu.
