Head of Lingkar Madani (Lima), Mr. Rangkuti, expressed surprise at PKS's passive move. "I am surprised by PKS. They were very quick. Even before the banana leaf turned yellow, they had already reversed their policy," said Ray in a written statement on June 26, 2024. According to Ray, this move by PKS is a sign of PKS's weakness in negotiation and lobbying. At least, PKS has lost the opportunity twice to place their cadre in the gubernatorial position. "PKS's weakness is their negotiation and lobbying ability. In the Jakarta political scene, PKS has accepted negotiation defeats at least twice. First, when Mardani Ali Sera was dropped as a deputy gubernatorial candidate and when they lost the right to get the gubernatorial position when Sandiaga ran as a vice-presidential candidate," explained Ray.

Moreover, the decision to nominate Anies-Iman is primarily a result of public criticism suggesting that nominating Sohibul Iman was not a strategic move. "The name Sohibul Iman clearly lacks appeal in Jakarta. This situation gave Anies's supporters within PKS the opportunity to push for the Anies-Iman pair," he stated. Thus, Ray believes there were no external circumstances compelling PKS to hastily declare Anies-Iman. The declaration of Anies-Iman does not benefit Anies's position at all. "Pairing Anies-Iman is like pairing two brothers. Anies's voters are PKS supporters. PKS supporters' idol is Anies. So, there is no added value for this pair. They are just circling within their own inner circle," stated Ray. This situation, Ray said, provides a fresh opportunity for other candidates who can accommodate Jakarta's pluralism to confidently enter the Jakarta Pilkada. "Anies needs another figure who strengthens his identity beyond just one circle. The face of Jakarta is plural. Candidates should accommodate Jakarta's pluralistic face in their pair selection. Broadening, not narrowing. Opening up, not closing down. Therefore, this situation provides a fresh breeze for other candidates to confidently enter Jakarta," Ray closed.

Sudirman mentioned two important requirements that Sohibul Iman can fulfill to lead Jakarta. First, Sohibul is considered likely to focus on managing the residents. "Second, he will easily establish cooperation with the future government due to his flexibility in political interactions so far," said Sudirman.

"His leadership capacity is also proven. If an understanding of field issues is needed, friends and cadres in the PKS faction in the DKI DPRD will be good sources and inputs, given their daily tasks in legislation, budgeting, and oversight in Jakarta Province," said Sudirman in a written statement, as quoted on Tuesday (25/6/2024).

**PKB: We Want to Build Jakarta with PDIP** The National Awakening Party (PKB) expressed a desire to work together with the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) to build Jakarta. PKB Secretary-General Hasanuddin Wahid stated that PKB cadres and grassroots are pushing for Anies Baswedan to run in the Jakarta Pilkada. According to him, the decision would be even more effective if PDIP joins in supporting Anies. "Basically, we want to build Jakarta together, and PDIP also joins in," said Hasanuddin Wahid to reporters on June 25, 2024. Hasanuddin mentioned that if PDIP joins PKB and PKS in supporting Anies, it would be even better and increase the chances of winning. "We are happy, the more support for Mas Anies, the better," he stated.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Said Abdullah mentioned that he had visited Cak Imin's residence to discuss cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada. Said mentioned that PKB is ready to nominate Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. "We visited the PKB General Chair's house, I remember it was after Friday prayers on May 30 before going to Mecca. We talked heart-to-heart, building communication among elites, sharing views," Said explained. During the meeting, Said admitted, PKB has a strong opportunity to nominate Anies in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. "As far as I know from PKB, if I’m not mistaken, they are ready to nominate Anies Rasyid Baswedan," he said. Said mentioned that the meeting's results with Cak Imin had been reported to PDIP Secretary-General Hasto Kristiyanto and PDIP DPP Chairperson Puan Maharani. He said he would also report the view to Chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri. "Not necessarily with PDIP, we share views, not seeking agreement. My task is to report to Mbak Puan and Mr. Secretary-General," said Said. "Maybe later there will be a meeting with the Chairperson to discuss the results of every lobby or mutual visits among elites," he added.

The re-vote must be carried out within 45 days of the decision. Responding to this, KPU RI Commissioner Idham Holik said that they have prepared for this as per the rules. Idham confirmed that the PSU timeline will not disrupt the 2024 Regional Elections
