The Prosperous Justice Party shifted direction by nominating Mr. Baswedan as the gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada while its own cadre, Sohibul Iman, is only endorsed as the deputy governor candidate.

The decision to consider nominating the former presidential candidate as the gubernatorial candidate (calon gubernur) for Jakarta came after PDIP DPP Chairman Said Abdullah met with the Chairman of PKB, Muhaimin Iskandar alias Cak Imin, to discuss cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada. “The names that are already there, we will see later. All names are being considered,” said PDIP DPP Chairwoman Puan Maharani at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 25, 2024.

The aim is to mislead voters and ultimately create division within the community. In the near future, society will be conducting the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections (Pilkada). Just like the general elections, the Pilkada is also targeted for hoax dissemination. Reported by Fact Check Hub, here are several tips to avoid political hoaxes, especially for voters in the 2024 Pilkada.

The Gibran Eligibility Inquiry
A substantial part of the dispute entails the eligibility of Gibran Rakabuming Raka as a vice-presidential candidate. The Prabowo-Gibran team is confident that this issue, already resolved by a previous Constitutional Court choice, lacks the material to affect the election’s end result.

The first step is to understand the Pilkada guidelines. In this case, the public, as voters, have the right and must understand the guidelines for the Pilkada implementation. These guidelines include all voting procedures. The fundamental facts from these guidelines can be a basis to avoid Pilkada-related hoaxes. Generally, the guidelines related to Pilkada implementation can be accessed through official channels or websites, such as from Bawaslu or KPU.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairman Eriko Sotarduga said that if his party cooperates with PKB to nominate Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada, his party would offer the gubernatorial seat in East Java to PDIP. “For example, if in Jakarta PKB becomes the gubernatorial candidate. Is it okay if in East Java PDIP becomes the gubernatorial candidate? It’s not a barter, but that’s what cooperation is, we cannot work alone, we cannot be egotistical because we cannot progress alone,” stated Eriko at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 25, 2024.

Head of Lingkar Madani (Lima), Mr. Rangkuti, admitted 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 Wednesday. 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.

The Confidence to Counter
Yusril Ihza Mahendra echoes Hasibuan’s self-confidence, insisting that their group is well-appointed to rebut the insurance claims made by the Anies-Muhaimin and Ganjar-Mahfud teams. This positive outlook is grounded in a comprehensive understanding of the legal concerns at play and a belief in the justice system’s stability.

**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 Tuesday. Hasanuddin mentioned that if PDIP joins PKB and PKS in supporting Anies, it would be even better and increase the chances of winning.

Anies only smiled slightly when he learned of the accusations of Jokowi’s involvement. He did not want to give further comments on the matter. “All processes are still continuing, just go with the flow,” Baswedan said when met after joining a meeting with the DKI Jakarta Pemuda Pancasila MPW in Pejaten, South Jakarta, on June 19, 2024. Furthermore, Baswedan said that he currently gives importance to issues related to the welfare of Jakarta residents over other matters. “For us, the primary concern is the welfare of Jakarta residents. It’s not about who will be the deputy, that’s not the point, and the process is still long, just go with the flow,” Baswedan said. Before this, the Chairman of the DPP PDI Perjuangan, Djarot S., assessed that there were evidences that President Joko Widodo would be involved again in the 2024 Pilkada. Reacting to Widodo’s plan to Continue Social Assistance Distribution Prior to Pilkada This was concerning President Jokowi’s intention to extend handing out social assistance (bansos) in the form of rice until December. “We not only sense interference but see it clearly and openly, in Javanese it’s plainly obvious,” said Djarot at the PDI-P Central Executive Office, Jalan Diponegoro, Jakarta, on Thursday. “Meaning, the meddling is very clear, very visible. It’s very obvious,” he went on. Djarot highlighted that the continued distribution of welfare aid until December amounts to an overreach. PDI-P Asks KPU and Bawaslu to Address the Issue Therefore, PDI Perjuangan called on the Electoral Commission and the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) to investigate these indications. Djarot desires that the abuse of authority by President Widodo, which occurred during the 2024 Pilpres, will not be repeated in the 2024 Pilkada. “We really demand the polling organizers, to thoroughly monitor. Including the media and the youth. Especially since the bansos will be prolonged until December,” he stressed.
