The discussion focused on economic inflation and the 2024 local elections (Pilkada). "Oh yes, during a meeting of party leaders, they talk about many things. But what we talked about was inflation. We also discussed the Pilkada," Zulkifli Hasan said reporters at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta, Friday, June 14, 2024. Zulkifli Hasan mentioned he proposed the former Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, to be put forward for the 2023 Jakarta Pilkada. According to him, the proposal was approved by the party leaders who attended the gathering. "Yes, I proposed Ridwan Kamil in Jakarta, and everyone was in agreement," he stated. When asked whether Kaesang might accompany Ridwan Kamil in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada, Zulkifli Hasan said that it had not been determined yet. However, he noted that the party leaders required Kaesang to secure the Pilkada. "Yes, I believe so. I informed at that time to the President whether Kaesang would be allowed to. The President said, 'No'. But the parties require him," he added. "Yes, but the parties require him. For what? To win," Zulhas continued. He believes that Ridwan Kamil wouldn't have an issue with whoever runs with him in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada, as long as it ensures victory. Zulhas mentioned that Ridwan Kamil's deputy will be discussed by the party leaders. "Mr. RK (Ridwan Kamil) would accept anyone as long as they win. As long as they secure victory, we will discuss," noted Zulhas.

Secretary-General of the National Mandate Party (PAN) Eddy Soeparno mentioned that the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) decided to endorse the same candidate in several regions participating in the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada.

According to Anies, besides support from the National Awakening Party (Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa) and PKS, there will be other political parties (parpol) that will also support his resolve. "Alhamdulillah after PKB and PKS, God willing there will be other parties willing to struggle together to restore Jakarta a modern city with happy citizens," said Anies through his Instagram account @aniesbaswedan on Wednesday. Anies is currently in Spain. He mentioned that upon returning to the homeland, he will soon communicate with PKS leadership to discuss further steps for the future Jakarta Pilkada 2024. "We've struggled together in Jakarta as well as nationally with PKS, God willing we will continue to fight together in the future," he said.

One possibility is to endorse A. Baswedan in the next election in November. "Regarding our colleagues at PDIP, we are very welcoming of working with PDIP and all parties, not just in DKI, but in various regions as well," said Johan Daniel in Jakarta on Saturday (8/6/2024). On this occasion, PKB, along with the ex-governor of Jakarta, already shares the same goals and objectives for the Jakarta Pilkada. Therefore, it's just a matter of time before the party led by Muhaimin Iskandar, officially backs Anies. "Anies Baswedan has already stated that with PKB, there's no need for words; we've already worked together. So, the announcement is just a minor technicality. The main point is we are united in vision. Now, we just anticipate the official announcement," said Daniel. "As for the deputy, that's up to the Pilkada team to determine, working on everything to a pair, including the deputy. We await the Pilkada desk's announcement," he finished.

**PKS: 2 Coalitions in Jakarta Pilkada More Attractive, Higher Chance of Winning** PKS spokesperson Pipin Sopian mentioned that the party prefers having two coalitions in the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub. This is because the chances of winning are higher as the election will not go to two rounds. "Yes, actually, two or three coalitions are interesting. For us, two coalitions are more attractive; our chances of winning are higher. If there are three coalitions, it could go to two rounds, which we are also considering," said Pipin at the Sahid Hotel, Jakarta, on Monday. Pipin mentioned that the possibility of forming a new coalition for the Jakarta Pilgub is still open. However, this must be discussed with other political parties. "All these possibilities exist, and we are just one party among many, so we need to talk together," he stated.
