Astri mentioned that the independent candidate pair Dharma Pongrekun and Kun Wardana submitted about 28% of their support documents via the candidate nomination application (Silon). The rest were submitted in physical form and are currently being processed. "We will review these support documents," stated Astri. Meanwhile, Jakarta KPU member Dody Wijaya said the pair uploaded around 160 thousand support documents through the Silon application and submitted around 690 thousand in physical form. "We are only counting the total. Verification will determine the authenticity. This stage is to check if the documents are there and complete," Dody explained. The Jakarta KPU, Dody said, will issue a receipt if the number meets the minimum requirement of 618,968 supports. This figure is in accordance with Jakarta KPU Decision No. 47 of 2024, which states that independent candidates must have the support of 7.5% of the total Permanent Voter List (DPT) in the previous Jakarta election, which had 8.2 million voters. "But if it does not meet the minimum requirement, we will return the documents to the candidate pair," Dody said.

This announcement was made by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in his speech at the Party Leadership School titled 'Continuing to Defend the People' at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. "The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) in its meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, has decided to endorse Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as the prospective governor and Mr. Sohibul Iman as the prospective deputy governor," said Syaikhu. He clarified that the decision by the PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) to nominate Anies and Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub was based on the proposal from the PKS DKI Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW). "I have received a letter from the DPW DKI Jakarta structure that has proposed the DKI gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, followed by the DKI deputy gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, requesting approval and establishment of Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Mr. Mohammad Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates," said Syaikhu.

This was directly conveyed by Chairman of Golkar, Hartarto Airlangga, after observing Eid al-Adha prayers at the Golkar DPP mosque, June 17, 2024. "In the Solo Pilkada, Akbar Tanjung's daughter will be prepared by the Golkar Party, Krisnauli Tanjung, who is also young," Hartarto told reporters. Krisnauli is currently the Head of Solo DPD for Golkar. She is preparing to run in the Solo Pilkada to replace the eldest son of President Joko Widodo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who has been elected as deputy president for the next five years. Golkar is optimistic in putting forward Akbar Tanjung's youngest child. During her career, S. Tanjung was a journalist at ABC in 2017. In 2019, she was on the campaign team for Prabowo and Sandiaga.

**Prepare Alternatives** The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) proposed 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 nominate 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 Monday. "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 nominated their internal cadre," he added.

Echoing Adi, political observer from Al-Azhar University, Ujang Komarudin, stated that so far, political elite are still observing each other. Thus, definitive names for the Jakarta contest have yet to emerge. However, he views the statement from the Gerindra Party as a win-win solution. "West Java wants to be won by KIM, Jakarta also wants to be won by KIM," he said.

This is why he has not yet put up campaign materials such as billboards on the streets. According to him, if he had intentions to run for DKI Jakarta governor, banners promoting him would already be scattered on the streets. "If I had indications for Jakarta, there would probably be banners, declarations, but not yet," he said, as quoted by Antara.

**Anticipate Offers for PKS** Adi also sees this as PKS's effort to anticipate offers from the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), which is serious about nominating Ridwan Kamil for Jakarta. "At the same time, PKS is a political party highly sought after by other contestants to be their vice-candidate. For example, there was an offer from the KIM camp for PKS to be Ridwan Kamil's running mate. In this context, PKS is deliberately proposing their cadre to anticipate serious offers to be Ridwan Kamil's running mate," he said.
