PKS has officially endorsed Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman to run in the Jakarta Regional Head Election (Pilkada) in 2024.

Ma’ruf Amin Asks KPI to Reduce Hoax Spread Ahead of 2024 Pilkada “KPI and KPID can provide education on the implementation and progress of the Pilkada through good, positive, and neutral broadcasts. This is important so that the public is protected from fake news (hoaxes),” stated Ma’ruf, as reported by Antara, on Tuesday. Ma’ruf also conveyed several points that need attention and follow-up from KPI and all broadcasting elements present at the event. He requested KPI to continue monitoring and supervising broadcasts by referring to the Broadcasting Code of Conduct (P3) and Broadcasting Program Standards (SPS).

Role as Supervisor He hopes that KPI maintains and upholds the broadcasting media as a supervisor of government operations. “I ask that the future broadcasting law draft should be directed in line with the ideals of a democratic country that upholds the nation’s character and the noble values of Pancasila. The future existence of KPI must be stronger, so it can perform its functions optimally, representing the public interest, maintaining national morality, and strengthening the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI),” said Ma’ruf.

“Secondly, this is related to PKS’s significantly increased vote share in the legislative elections, where they were the top vote-getter in Jakarta in the 2024 elections. These two variables explain why PKS is nominating their internal cadre,” he added.

“Ahmad Ali is the most liked because he has reached the most voters through various socialization activities, including outdoor attributes, media coverage, social media, and direct engagement with residents, both personally and through his volunteers,” said Executive Director of Indikator, Burhanuddin Muhtadi, in a statement received on Monday, June 24, 2024.

Previously, Vice President Ma’ruf Amin requested the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) to provide education through positive and neutral broadcasts during the simultaneous Pilkada on November 27, 2024. According to Ma’ruf, this is to ensure the public receives credible information and to reduce the spread of false information or hoaxes related to the 2024 Pilkada.

In Central Sulawesi, he said, besides economic issues that are also a national leadership concern, such as the prices of basic necessities and job availability, infrastructure conditions are also a major focus for residents, particularly damaged roads, frequent power outages, and clean water availability. “The closer the candidate is perceived by residents as a solution to existing problems, the greater their chances of being elected,” he said.

Furthermore, Syaikhu believes that the Anies-Sohibul Iman pair is a good duo. According to Syaikhu, the two complement each other for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. “Some people have already come up with the acronym AMAN (Anies-Sohibul Iman), whatever the name, (Anies-Sohibul Iman) has the qualifications, compatibility, and complementary qualities needed to lead DKI Jakarta,” said Syaikhu.

“The stadium may be Bernabeu, but the shirt is still Persija, and the greeting remains Sajete. Am I the first Indonesian to do this?” wrote Anies Baswedan, as quoted by Liputan6.com from his Instagram account @aniesbaswedan, Tuesday (25/6/2024). Anies posed with the typical Jak Mania gesture, with his thumb and index finger forming the letter J. He was also wearing a Persija football club jersey.

One option is to endorse Baswedan Anies in the upcoming election in November 2024. “Regarding our friends at PDIP, we are very welcoming of working with PDIP and all parties, not just in DKI, but in different areas as well,” said Daniel Johan in Jakarta on June 8, 2024. On this occasion, PKB, along with the ex-governor of Jakarta, already holds the same vision and goals for the Jakarta Pilkada. Therefore, it’s just a matter of time before the party led by Muhaimin Iskandar, publicly supports Baswedan. “Baswedan has already stated that with PKB, there’s no need for words; we’ve already collaborated. So, the formal declaration is just a trivial technicality. The main point is we are united in vision. Now, we just wait for the formal announcement,” said Daniel. “As for the vice governor, that’s up to the Pilkada desk to determine, refining everything to a duet, including the deputy. We anticipate the Pilkada desk’s statement,” he concluded.

If this materializes, the two parties will prepare an opponent for the Khofifah and Emil Dardak. “Perhaps we can work together with PKB in East Java, right,” Eriko told journalists at the parliament complex, Jakarta’s Senayan, Monday. He was hopeful about the strength of PDI-P and the National Awakening Party in Jatim, as both parties hold a significant number of DPRD seats. “The winner in East Java now is PKB, and in the last period, we were the winners. So, if the current period’s winner and the last period’s winner collaborate, why not?” he said.

On the other hand, with Sohibul Iman running, Adi continued, PKS is also targeting to pair him with Anies Baswedan. “Simultaneously, PKS is also preparing Sohibul Iman to potentially pair with Anies Baswedan. Because it must be acknowledged, PKS is quite closely associated with Anies Baswedan. So, this is what PKS seems to be aiming for, not to miss the momentum as the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta, ensuring PKS can nominate their cadre either as governor or vice governor,” he clarified.
