Deputy Secretary General of PKB Syaiful Huda assessed the PKS decision to announce the duet of Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman as a wrong step aka blunder.

According to Huda, there was anxiety within the PKS where previously he would carry the Deputy Chairman of the Syuro Council, Sohibul Iman as a candidate for governor. PKS requires Anies to become a cadre or choose his cadre as cawagub if he wants to be promoted by PKS.

Two days later, the decision was later revised by suddenly announcing the PKS officially carrying the Anies-Sohibul Iman or AMAN pair.

"That means there is anxiety, there is public communication that may be considered wrong and needs to be corrected, and the problem of the follow-up is then immediately pairing up between Mas Anies and Mas Sohibul Iman. In my eyes, I think the blunder is," said Syaiful Huda, Wednesday, June 26.

Huda admitted that he was reluctant to comment on the duet because the dynamics of the Jakarta Pilkada were still very fluid. However, according to him, political communication such as PKS will close the doors of other parties to be able to partner and form a coalition axis.

Huda does not yet know whether PKS's steps have also lowered asking PKB to seriously carry Anies in the upcoming 2024 Jakarta Pilkada or not. What is clear, said Huda, is that the PKB DPP has not yet decided whether to be a recommendation from the Jakarta PKB DPW.

"I don't know yet. Whether it has an effect or not. But what is certain is that apart from this PKS maneuver, PKB is still concerned about taking care of Anies' figure, which happens to have been recommended by friends of the DPW PKB Jakarta. Incidentally, in the DPP Pilkada desk itself, we still have two names that we continue to simulate, there is Mas Anies, there is Mba Ida Fauziah Menaker now who happens to have escaped from the DKI Jakarta electoral district. So indeed we are still in that process, "explained the Chairman of Commission X DPR.

"The look is that after we get documents from the DKI PKB DPW, we are scheduling to carry out UKK, including the two Mba Ida Fauziah, we have not yet UKK, later we will discuss it with Mas Anies Baswedan," he added.
