**Prepare Alternatives** The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) nominated PKS Deputy Chair of the Syuro Council Mohamad Sohibul Iman as a prospective gubernatorial candidate for the Special Capital Region of Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada. Regarding this, political analyst Adi Prayitno sees this as a reasonable move. He noted that in addition to being a cadre party, PKS also has high voter support in Jakarta. "I think it is quite rational for PKS to propose their internal cadre, Sohibul Iman, to run in the Jakarta Pilgub. There are two reasons: first, PKS is a cadre party that has always put forward its cadres to compete in Pilkada, not only in Jakarta but also in other regions," he said to Liputan6.com on June 24, 2024.

"The second reason is the significant increase in PKS's legislative vote count in 2024, making them the highest vote-winner in Jakarta. These two variables explain why PKS proposed their internal cadre," he added.

The study was performed from early May 2024, with 800 respondents aged at least 17 years or married. The margin of error is approximately 3.46%, with a confidence level of 95%. The method used was stratified random sampling. Data collection was carried out through in-person interviews using a questionnaire. ICRC is a national survey agency registered with the PERSEPI organization and listed with the KPU RI. ICRC is headed by a former Indo Barometer Head from 2012-2022 and a team seasoned in conducting surveys in various local elections throughout Indonesia.

The ICRC survey was conducted in the Jambi region, covering 11 regencies/cities. ICRC Executive Director Rusli Hadi Suprapto stated that the objective of the survey was to assess the potential of the 2024 governor candidates. The results, based on Hadi, show that the sitting governor, Al Haris, has static popularity compared to the gubernatorial candidate, Hariyanto Romi. "The preferred governor candidates (open/spontaneous question) are Haris Al 21.9%, Hariyanto R. 12.0%, Cek Endra 11.4%, Mashuri 5.5%, S. Fasha 2.9%, and so on, with 45% unsure," said Hadi during the publication of the survey findings for the 2024 Jambi Pilkada through a formal statement on June 4, 2024.

Adi also sees this as PKS's effort to anticipate offers from the Coalition of Indonesia's Progress (KIM), which is seriously considering nominating Ridwan Kamil for Jakarta. "At the same time, PKS is a party that many other contenders are eyeing for vice-candidate slots. For instance, there was a recent offer from the KIM camp for PKS to be Ridwan Kamil's running mate. In this context, PKS is deliberately putting forward their cadre to anticipate the seriousness of the offer to be Ridwan Kamil's companion," he explained.

Hadi mentioned, Al Haris' statistics as the sitting governor are comparatively low. He said that the survey also indicated the rate of public approval with Al Haris' performance as governor, which is 62.4% pleased, 28.1% unhappy, and 9.5% undecided. "During his tenure, Al Haris has a satisfaction level of 62.4% (below the ideal figure of 75 percent)," said Hadi. Furthermore, he added, Al Haris' popularity rate is already at a high of 98%, while Romi Hariyanto's popularity is still at 74.3% and has the potential to grow. "Additionally, the level of citizen wish for Al Haris to be re-elected as governor is above 35.4% (below 50 percent). The wish for Al Haris to come back as governor is 35.4%, not wanting him to return is 28.9%, and undecided is 35.8%," clarified Hadi.

Additionally, he mentioned that the party also considered various inputs from figures, clerics, religious leaders, cross-sect leaders, scholars, and the public in Jakarta. "The main aspects considered were candidates with good leadership experience in both the executive and legislative branches, a proven track record, credibility, capacity, and a high probability of winning," he said. Furthermore, Syaikhu believes that the Anies-Sohibul Iman pair is a good match. According to Syaikhu, they complement each other for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. "Some have already coined the acronym AMAN (Anies-Sohibul Iman). Whatever the name, Anies-Sohibul Iman has the qualifications to complement each other and lead DKI Jakarta," stated Syaikhu.

Previously reported, the PKS Central Leadership Council (DPP) nominated the Deputy Chairman of the PKS Syuro Council, Mohamad Sohibul Iman, as the prospective gubernatorial candidate for the Special Capital Region of Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada. Political analyst Adi Prayitno sees this as reasonable. Besides being a cadre party, PKS also has significant support in Jakarta. "I think it's quite rational for PKS to nominate their internal cadre, Sohibul Iman, to run in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. There are two arguments: first, PKS is a cadre party that has always pushed their cadres to compete in regional elections, not just in Jakarta but also elsewhere," he said to Liputan6.com, Monday (24/6/2024).

Moreover, for the Jakarta Pilkada, they have not yet reported to the Chairman of PKB, Muhaimin Iskandar, also known as Cak Imin. "It is still at the Pilkada desk level, we have not reported to Cak Imin. For several Pilkada, including Jakarta, we have not yet reported to Cak Imin," he said. Furthermore, Huda stated that the dynamics in the Jakarta Pilkada are still very fluid, even though PKS has already nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman. "We must place everything, especially the Jakarta Pilkada, in a very fluid space. I can still say it hasn’t taken shape, not even with us. In KIM, the figures are still being pulled. This means the Jakarta Pilkada is still very fluid from all sides, from all camps. Including from the KIM camp," Huda added.
