Wismansyah Arief Rachadiono, who has served as the Tangerang Mayor for two terms, after five years as the Vice Mayor, is now redirecting his efforts to a greater challenge, namely the election in Banten, by becoming a gubernatorial candidate.

**PKS Does Not Want to Be Just a Ronin** Political analyst Adi Prayitno believes that PKS’s decision to propose its cadre is understandable, given that in the 2017 Jakarta Pilkada, PKS could only nominate candidates from other parties. „Even the deputy gubernatorial position left by Sandiaga Uno, which should have been PKS’s share, was also willingly given to Gerindra,“ stated Adi. Therefore, Adi believes that in this Jakarta Pilkada, PKS does not want to continue being a supporter of other parties‘ cadres. PKS wants to be a deciding party. Especially with the label as the winner of the legislative elections in Jakarta. „As the winning party in the legislative elections, PKS certainly does not want to continue being a ronin. PKS does not want to be merely political firewood for nominating candidates, but to have a PKS cadre as governor or deputy governor,“ said Adi. „This time, PKS wants to appear as a leader candidate. As the main actor in winning, and as a figure who can secure Jakarta 1 or Jakarta 2. That’s the point,“ said Adi.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairman Eriko Sotarduga revealed that if his party cooperates with PKB to nominate Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada, his party would offer the gubernatorial seat in East Java to PDIP. „For example, if in Jakarta PKB becomes the gubernatorial candidate. Is it okay if in East Java PDIP becomes the gubernatorial candidate? It’s not a barter, but that’s what cooperation is, we cannot work alone, we cannot be egotistical because we cannot progress alone,“ stated Eriko at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 25, 2024.

**Explanation from Candidates and KPU** The spokesperson for the legal team of the petitioner (Sam HC – Rizky Boncel), Susianto, demanded that KPU Malang City re-verify the data of 13,615 supports that were declared ineligible (TMS).

He added that there are real data such as support letters accompanied by scanned e-KTPs and excel data of the support counts that were deemed TMS. The Sam HC team requests that KPU re-upload this data to the Candidacy Information System (Silon). „That is what we are disputing in this process. We also want a maximum deadline of seven days for re-uploading the data,“ said Susianto.

„One thing to watch out for in every democratic event amid the rapid digitalization and social media is the susceptibility to the spread of hoaxes and hate speech with ethnic, religious, racial, and inter-group (SARA) nuances, which have the potential to create polarization that can divide the unity of society,“ said Edy in Palangka Raya, quoted from Antara, Friday (June 21, 2024).

Similarly, political analyst from UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, Adi Prayitno, sees PKS’s move to bring up the name Sohibul Iman as a political bargaining chip for anyone wanting to form a coalition in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. According to Adi, PKS wants to increase its bargaining position because it is the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta. Additionally, the solid voter base and constituency make PKS confident in nominating its own cadre. „In this context, PKS seems to be sending a strong signal to those wanting to form a coalition, including Anies Baswedan, that it is essential to include Sohibul Iman as a running mate,“ stated Adi Prayitno to Liputan6.com on Monday, June 24, 2024. „Or, if Ridwan Kamil from KIM is interested in making PKS a coalition partner, then Sohibul Iman must be his running mate,“ Adi continued.

**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. „Given that Sohibul Iman does not yet have electability, his market value is very low on paper. Therefore, Sohibul Iman is not a worthy opponent for Anies Baswedan,“ said 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 continued. Jamil assesses that PKS is very daring if they truly nominate 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 nominated 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 said.
