Regarding the recruitment and selection process by the General Election Commission (KPU) RI, Bagja asked all Bawaslu commissioners and staff to oversee this process. "We must supervise the recruitment and selection conducted by the KPU in recruiting the Sub-district Election Committees, Village Election Committees, and in the future, the Voting Organizing Groups (KPPS). This is our collective duty, and we hope we can accomplish it," said Bagja.

PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu detailed the reasons for nominating Anies and Sohibul Iman for the Jakarta election in 2024. Anies is considered a competent leader during his tenure as Governor of DKI Jakarta. According to Syaikhu, Baswedan's achievements has brought happiness to Jakarta residents. "Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan effectively worked as governor from 2017-2022 with various achievements in multiple sectors of development, advancing the city and delighting its citizens," said Syaikhu at the opening of the School of Party Leadership at the Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. Meanwhile, Sohibul Iman, Syaikhu mentioned, is a scholar with a notable experience in government. "Mr. Sohibul Iman is a technocrat and a scholar who was the rector of Paramadina University. He served in the parliament as Deputy Speaker of the DPR RI for the 2013-2014 period and previously was the president of PKS from 2015-2020," explained Syaikhu.

The discussion focused on economic inflation and the 2024 regional elections (Pilkada). "Oh yes, when party leaders meet, they talk about many things. But what we talked about was inflation. We also discussed the Pilkada," Zulhas said reporters in the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta, on June 14, 2024. Zulhas mentioned he proposed ex-Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, to be nominated for the 2023 Jakarta Pilkada. According to him, the suggestion was approved by the party leaders present at the meeting. "Yes, I proposed Ridwan Kamil for Jakarta, and everyone was in agreement," he stated. When asked whether Kaesang would accompany Ridwan Kamil in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada, Zulhas mentioned that it had not been decided yet. However, he stated that the party leaders needed Kaesang to win the Pilkada. "Yes, I think. I informed at that time to the President whether Kaesang would be allowed to. The President said, 'No'. But the parties require him," he added. "Yes, but the parties require him. For what? To win," Zulhas continued. He believes that Ridwan Kamil wouldn't have an issue with whoever accompanies him in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada, as long as it ensures victory. Zulkifli Hasan stated that Ridwan Kamil's deputy will be decided by the party leaders. "Mr. RK (Ridwan Kamil) would accept anyone as long as they ensure victory. As long as they win, we will discuss," noted Zulhas.

**Anticipate Offers for PKS** Adi also sees this as PKS's effort to anticipate offers from the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), which is serious about proposing Ridwan Kamil for Jakarta. "At the same time, PKS is a political party highly sought after by other contestants to be their vice-candidate. For example, there was an offer from the KIM camp for PKS to be Ridwan Kamil's running mate. In this context, PKS is deliberately nominating their cadre to anticipate serious offers to be Ridwan Kamil's running mate," he explained.

Secretary-General of the National Mandate Party (PAN) Eddy Soeparno mentioned that the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) decided to support the same candidate in several regions participating in the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada. "We stated from the beginning that the Advanced Indonesia Coalition, especially for the DKI Pilkada, we would agree to endorse a uniform candidate pair, and

He mentioned that the selection and evaluation are conducted because the term of office for the Ad Hoc Panwas continues until two months after the inauguration of the elected President and Vice President or until December 2024.

On the other hand, with Sohibul Iman running, Adi also noted that PKS might be aiming to partner with Anies Baswedan. "At the same time, PKS is certainly preparing Sohibul Iman to potentially partner with Anies Baswedan. PKS is quite closely associated with Anies Baswedan. This seems to be PKS's goal, not to lose momentum as the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta and to ensure their cadre is nominated either as governor or deputy governor," he stated.

Additionally, he mentioned that the party also considered various inputs from figures, clerics, religious leaders, cross-sect leaders, scholars, and the public in Jakarta. "The main aspects considered were candidates with good leadership experience in both the executive and legislative branches, a proven track record, credibility, capacity, and a high probability of winning," he said. Furthermore, Syaikhu believes that the Anies-Sohibul Iman pair is a good match. According to Syaikhu, they complement each other for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. "Some have already coined the acronym AMAN (Anies-Sohibul Iman). Whatever the name, Anies-Sohibul Iman has the qualifications to complement each other and lead DKI Jakarta," stated Syaikhu.
