Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin said his party had no intention of pairing Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman as candidates for governor and deputy governor in the 2024 Jakarta Regional Head Election.
If the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has announced that it will carry Anies and pair him with Sohibul Iman, according to Muhaimin, it is only a version of the party. Meanwhile, PKB has its own version regarding the figure of Anies' partner.
"That's the PKS version, right, we have a version too," said Cak Imin when met at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Antara, Monday, July 1.
So far, he said, the DKI Jakarta PKB DPW plans to carry Anies Baswedan as a candidate for governor of Jakarta. As the party's central leader, he admitted that he considered this matter.
Even so, Cak Imin said, his partner when participating in the 2024 presidential election had a high level of electability in Jakarta so that the Governor of Jakarta for the 2017-2022 period had the potential to become the strongest candidate to be promoted by PKB.
He said the definite decision regarding support for Anies would be made after his party determined the candidate for deputy governor.
However, Anies and the prospective deputy governor candidate who will be promoted by PKB will go through a deliberation process with other political parties.
"Until today, we are still strengthening who Anies will be," said the former Vice Presidential Candidate in the 2024 General Election.
Previously, the Central Executive Board of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) decided to carry the pair Anies Rasyid Baswedan as a candidate for governor and Mohamad Sohibul Iman as a candidate for deputy governor in the 2024 DKI Jakarta Regional Head Election.
"The PKS Central Level Leadership Council (DPTP) at its meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024 has decided to carry Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as a candidate for governor and Mr. Mohamad Sohibul Iman as a candidate for deputy governor in the 2024 DKI Jakarta Pilkada," said PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu at the opening of the PKS DPP Party Leadership School, Jakarta, Tuesday (25/6).
He said the structure of the DKI Jakarta PKS DPW had previously proposed several names of candidates for governor of DKI Jakarta to the PKS DPP, including Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Mohamad Sohibul Iman.
