Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Eriko Sotarduga proposed that if their party collaborates with PKB to support Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada, they propose the gubernatorial seat in East Java to PDIP. "For instance, in Jakarta, if PKB is the gubernatorial candidate, can PDIP become the gubernatorial candidate in East Java? Of course, it’s not a trade, but that's what cooperation means, we can't achieve everything on our own, we must work together," said Eriko at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 25, 2024.

According to Huda, PKS's decision to immediately pair Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman is a blunder. "The problem is that pairing Mas Anies and Mas Sohibul Iman immediately is, in my view, a blunder," he said. Huda mentioned that by pairing Anies Baswedan with Sohibul Iman, it closes the door for other political parties to join the coalition. "This will close the door for other parties to collaborate with this coalition," he said.

**Response from Central Java Police Chief Ahmad Luthfi** Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Ahmad Luthfi's name is gaining traction to run in the 2024 Central Java Pilkada. He responded to this matter. "I am still on duty. If it is the people's aspiration and the people assess it, but for now, I am still on duty carrying out official activities," Luthfi stated at The Tribrata, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, on June 24, 2024. So far, he has not communicated with any political party about the Central Java Pilkada. "Not yet, not yet (no communication)," he stated. However, he is ready to relinquish his position if nominated as a gubernatorial candidate by a political party. "Yes, of course (I will resign if nominated)," he stated. He has not yet decided to resign from the police force in the near future. Luthfi mentioned that he is still monitoring the situation going forward. "We will see the situation," he concluded.

Furthermore, HNW revealed that potential PKS cadres to be Anies's deputy include PKS DKI Jakarta DPW Chair Khoirudin, PKS elected DPR RI member candidates, and Gamal Albinsaid. "However, all of this is still fluid, and the PKS DPP is still observing all developments to make a decision soon," he stated.

Previously, Bambang Pacul revealed that his party is still finalizing the nominations for the 2024 Central Java Pilgub. Pacul emphasized that PDIP is open to any prominent figures, including Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Ahmad Luthfi. "It is still in discussion and under survey, and we will report the decision to the central committee," Bambang Pacul said in response to whether the Central Java PDIP has shortlisted Ahmad Luthfi’s name at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Thursday. Pacul mentioned that the names of prominent figures emerging from various survey results will be proposed to the PDIP Central Executive Board (DPP). He left the decision on the Central Java Pilkada nominations to PDIP Chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri. "The decision is at the central level, but we will submit the data and survey results," Pacul stated in response to questions about Ahmad Luthfi being considered by PDIP in Central Java. "The final decision in Central Java is in the hands of the Chairwoman. If PDIP doesn’t nominate, it’s impossible. We will definitely nominate someone. Which one, we don’t know yet," he stated.

Meanwhile, it is mentioned that in Central Sulawesi, in addition to economic issues which are also a major concern for national leadership such as the prices of basic necessities and employment opportunities, infrastructure conditions are also a primary concern for residents, especially damaged roads, frequent power outages, and the availability of clean water . Candidates seen by residents as solutions to these problems have a higher likelihood of being chosen.

"As the winning party in Jakarta, PKS has decided to fight for its best cadre as the candidate for Governor of Jakarta. The candidate we are nominating is Mohamad Sohibul Iman, who currently serves as the Deputy Chair of the PKS Syuro Council," stated Mabruri in his statement on June 23, 2024. Mabruri added that Sohibul Iman is a figure with adequate capacity. Sohibul Iman led PKS during the 2015-2020 period. "This means he has proven leadership in elevating PKS. He also has a long track record in the political arena," explained Mabruri.

"Eriko's offer is intriguing," said Huda at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 26, 2024. According to Huda, the possibility of PKB allying with PDIP in Jakarta is open if PDIP is willing to become the deputy governor for Anies and if PKS fails to find a coalition partner in the Jakarta Pilkada. "It's possible that PKB, with PDIP as the deputy, could happen if PKS fails to find a coalition partner," explained Huda.

**Proposing Anies** Previously, the Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW) of PKS proposed Anies Baswedan to run as a gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The PKS DPP is requesting the deputy gubernatorial seat. PKS Syuro Council Deputy Chair Hidayat Nur Wahid (HNW) stated that Anies's name is indeed being discussed externally. Thus, PKS requests that its cadre be Anies's deputy if the PKS DPP supports Anies. "For example, if Mr. Anies is the gubernatorial candidate from PKS, and he is also proposed by other parties, making him a cross-party candidate, then it is only fair that PKS nominates the deputy governor from PKS," stated HNW during an interview at the PKS DPP office, Jakarta, on Tuesday. He clarified the strong reason for the party's request for the deputy gubernatorial seat. "In the previous period, PKS supported Mr. Anies as the gubernatorial candidate, but the deputy was not from PKS. It is only fair now that PKS gets the deputy position. Once again, PKS is very capable of providing a competent deputy governor," he emphasized.
