JAKARTA - PKS has not yet decided to join the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) Plus and support Ridwan Kamil as a candidate for governor of DKI Jakarta Pilkada. This is because PKS will still explore communication with other political parties to review and explore the two options. "We continue to review the dynamics, yes, we cannot say for sure, it is certain and so on. This is of course our process of communicating sitting together to find the best scheme for Jakarta residents, we cannot do it in a hurry, so we want to build that communication well," said PKS spokesman M. Kholid at the PKS DPP Office, South Jakarta, Saturday, August 10. PKS, he continued, will first listen to residents' aspirations and build the best scheme for Jakarta. In due time, said Kholid, PKS will announce who the cagub and cawagub pairs will be supported in the upcoming Jakarta Pilkada.

"That's what we have to go inside. So this is not for sure, this is for sure, no. We continue to communicate this, when there is a meeting point, the balance point there God willing, the decision will be announced at the right moment, the right moment, the best for the citizens of Jakarta," said Kholid. It is known, PKS is rumored to have joined KIM Plus after meeting with Prabowo Subianto. PKS may cancel carrying Anies because until now the former governor of Jakarta has not found a coalition partner to run with Sohibul Iman.
