JAKARTA - PKB responded to the statement of the treasurer of the NasDem Party, Ahmad Sahroni, who said that his party issued a decree (SK) for Anies Baswedan to run as a candidate for governor of Jakarta, but not necessarily registered with the KPU on 27 August.

PKB admits that so far there is not a single coalition that is patented for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

"That's why we are waiting for the dynamics until there is a patent coalition. This is in DKI, there is not a single coalition that is patented. Anyway, there is no patent," said PKB Deputy Chairman Jazilul Fawaid, Tuesday, July 30.

According to Jazilul, currently political parties are still exploring communication towards the revitalization of the coalition. That PKB and NasDem support Anies to run again in the Jakarta gubernatorial election, yes. But he said, it was not yet a coalition decision.

"This means that this is going to crystallize the coalition. That there is support for Mr. Anies, yes PKB, PKS, NasDem already. Towards crystallization, it's not going to disband. Well, there are no others yet," said Jazilul.

When asked whether PKB support would change if NasDem canceled carrying Anies, Jazilul said, his party was waiting for future developments in political dynamics.

"Later on, when it's time for us to think about it, now is the brain for atic brain, count there to add there, it's less here added from the other side, all of them are atic brain, and in ordinary politics the ATik brain. That's why it's close to the time limit, it will be more visible later," he concluded.
