PDI-P (PDIP) politician Masinton Pasaribu said that Anies Baswedan's name has a great opportunity to be supported by his party in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.
"God willing, there will be Anies," said Masinton in Jakarta, Wednesday, August 21.
However, the certainty of the governor-deputy governor candidate who will be promoted by PDIP in the Jakarta Pilkada will only be announced on Tuesday, August 27.
"So later, let it be 27 [August] yes," he said.
Masinton also asked, both his party cadres, sympathizers and the community who supported Anies to spill over space during the registration of candidates for governor-deputy deputy governors of PDIP to the General Election Commission (KPU) Jakarta.
"If the PDI-P nominates Pak Anies Baswedan, we will escort him to the Jakarta KPU," he said.
According to him, the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) to grant the Pilkada Law lawsuit lowers the threshold for nominating regional heads to be positively welcomed.
In the Constitutional Court Decision Number 60/PUU-XXII/2024, the Constitutional Court changed the rules in Article 40 of the Pilkada Law which regulates the 20 percent threshold for DPRD seats or 25 percent of the accumulated valid votes acquired by the DPRD Legislative Election in the relevant regions.
"We use the Constitutional Court's decision. Let the people be witnesses to fight for democracy which is to be killed by power today," said Masinton.

As for today, the Legislation Body (Baleg) of the DPR held a Working Committee (Panja) meeting regarding the revision of the Pilkada Law. One of the results of the meeting Baleg agreed with the Constitutional Court's decision to loosen the threshold for political parties who wanted to carry the regional head.
However, there was a change in the Constitutional Court's decision as a result of the DPR Baleg meeting which stated that the lax threshold only applies to non-parliamentary parties or do not have seats in the DPRD at all.
