**Former Anies Spokesperson Praises Sohibul Iman, Criticizes Jakarta Pilkada as Stepping Stone to 2029 Presidential Election** Former Co-Captain of the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN) Winning Team, Sudirman Said, supports the PKS DPP’s decision to propose Sohibul Iman as the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. Sohibul Iman’s capacity and integrity are proven, so there is no doubt about his ability to lead Jakarta in the future. „Certainly, friends and cadres in the PKS Faction in the DKI DPRD will be good sources and provide good input, given their daily legislative, budgetary, and oversight duties in Jakarta Province,“ said Sudirman, as quoted by Antara, on Monday, June 24, 2024. According to the former Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Sohibul Iman has a wide network among professionals and businesspeople. Therefore, he believes Sohibul will quickly receive the necessary input. Additionally, Sudirman Said assesses that Sohibul is the right person to lead Jakarta because he will work with focus. So far, Sudirman has not seen any aspirations for Sohibul to advance to a higher political competition, such as the presidential election. Sudirman also reminds the public to choose gubernatorial candidates who genuinely want to manage Jakarta towards becoming a global city while addressing its complex problems. „I see Jakarta in an important transformation process. The next Jakarta governor must be 100 percent focused. Do not make Jakarta merely a political stage, especially a stepping stone to the 2029 presidential election,“ stated the former spokesperson for Anies Baswedan.

Regarding the recruitment and selection process by the General Election Commission (KPU) RI, Bagja asked all Bawaslu commissioners and staff to supervise 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 joint task, and we hope we can carry it out,“ said Bagja.

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 proposed either as governor or deputy governor,“ he stated.

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.

Hasyim also reasoned that with an increased number of voters in one TPS, it would facilitate data entry since voters from two TPS are combined into one. „The number 600 is intended to simplify the design of the number of TPS, thus facilitating regrouping or data collection by merging two TPS into one,“ he assured.

**Sohibul Iman Not at the Same Level as Anies and Ridwan Kamil** According to Jamiluddin, Sohibul Iman is not a suitable choice for the Jakarta gubernatorial race. His popularity and electability are far below the names that have already surfaced, especially Anies Baswedan and Ridwan Kamil. This can be seen from several survey institutions that have released their results.

Therefore, Sohibul Iman is not a worthy opponent for Anies Baswedan,“ stated Jamil. „Comparing Sohibul Iman with Anies in the Jakarta Pilgub is like comparing night and day. Sohibul Iman’s level is not comparable to Anies’s level,“ Jamil added. Jamil believes that PKS is very daring if they truly propose Sohibul Iman as the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. Although Jamil acknowledges Sohibul Iman’s proven political career and loyalty to the party, his popularity and electability are hurdles if forced to run as Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. „Therefore, he is not suitable to be proposed as a gubernatorial candidate. PKS’s party machinery does not seem capable of significantly boosting Sohibul Iman’s popularity and electability. It will be very difficult to even approach Anies Baswedan and Ridwan Kamil’s popularity and electability,“ stated Jamil. „PKS is too confident and daring without considering its cadre’s capacity to win in the Jakarta Pilkada,“ Jamil stated.

Bagja explained that the selection process is also ongoing, specifically the selection of Ad Hoc Panwas prepared by Bawaslu’s Human Resources (HR) Division. Meanwhile, he mentioned that the evaluation is related to the performance of the Ad Hoc Panwas during the previous Presidential and Legislative Elections. „If the Ad Hoc Panwas did not perform well during the Presidential and Legislative Elections, we can evaluate and re-select for the Pilkada,“ said Bagja.
