Raffi Ahmad: The People’s Star
Raffi Ahmad’s close relationship with Head of state Jokowi’s family has given him an unique placement in the Indonesian entertainment and social scene. His invitations to state events and close interactions with political figures have actually made him a bridge between the general public and the political sphere, capitivating him to many throughout the nation.

**PKS Does Not Want to Be Just a Ronin** Political analyst Adi Prayitno assesses that PKS’s decision to nominate its cadre is understandable, given that in the 2017 Jakarta Pilkada, PKS could only propose candidates from other parties. “Even the deputy gubernatorial position left by Sandiaga Uno, which should have been PKS’s share, was also willingly given to Gerindra,” said Adi. Therefore, Adi assesses that in this Jakarta Pilkada, PKS does not want to continue being a supporter of other parties’ cadres. PKS wants to be a deciding party. Especially with the label as the winner of the legislative elections in Jakarta. “As the winning party in the legislative elections, PKS certainly does not want to continue being a ronin. PKS does not want to be merely political firewood for nominating candidates, but to have a PKS cadre as governor or deputy governor,” said Adi. “This time, PKS wants to appear as a leader candidate. As the main actor in winning, and as a figure who can secure Jakarta 1 or Jakarta 2. That’s the point,” said Adi.

According to Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the Chairman of the Daily Board of the Gerindra Party, this proposal is viewed by his faction as only an aspiration. “Yes, the current situation is merely a discussion in the media, and we consider it just an aspiration and it has not reached the level of party talks within the Advanced Indonesia Coalition,” said Dasco at Rumah Kertanegara, South Jakarta, on Friday, (June 7, 2024). Meanwhile, Kaesang stated that the decision regarding his nomination for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada will be made in August. “As I have said before, wait for the surprise in August,” said Kaesang at the PSI Office in Jakarta, on Friday (June 7, 2024). He indicated that there is a surprise about whether he will run in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The youngest child of President Jokowi asked everyone to be patient as the registration for the pairs for governor and deputy governor via political parties will start from August 27 to August 29, 2024. “The registration is still far off, it’s still in August, late August. Wait,” he said, according to Antara. Previously, on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the Chairman of the Daily Board of the Gerindra Party, posted a photo of Budisatrio Djiwandono alongside Kaesang Pangarep on his personal Instagram account @sufmi_dasco, with the caption “For Jakarta 2024.” In addition to posting Budisatrio with Kaesang, In the event you cherished this informative article as well as you would like to obtain more details relating to mashable.com generously visit the web site. Dasco also uploaded a photo of Budisatrio with celebrity Raffi Ahmad in the style of a duo campaign flyer on his personal Instagram. On Thursday, April 18, 2024, Ahmad Muzani, the General Secretary of the Gerindra Party, stated that the candidate in preparation for the Jakarta Pilkada is still under consideration. The Gerindra Party possesses several young candidates, including Budisatrio Djiwandono and Moreno Soeprapto. “We have a strong candidate, preferably a fresh and young figure,” he mentioned at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta. Alleged Prohibition by Jokowi, Kaesang Pangarep: That’s Zulhas’s Version of the Story Head of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), Kaesang Pangarep, also addressed the statement that he was forbidden by President Jokowi from running in the Jakarta Pilkada. According to Kaesang, that story belongs to the Chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, also known as Zulhas. “That’s Zulhas’s version of the story,” he mentioned. He then turned the question back to the media. “So, have you heard my version of the story yet?” questioned Kaesang. Upon hearing this, several journalists asked him to explain, but Kaesang opted to keep it to himself. “It’s a secret,” said Kaesang before leaving. Previously, the Chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, said that President Jokowi prohibited his youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep, from running for the Jakarta gubernatorial election. “Earlier, I asked the President after the meeting. ‘Sir, what about Kaesang running for Jakarta deputy governor?’ ‘Oh no,’ he said, ‘Don’t do it, Mr. Zul,'” Zulkifli Hasan stated at the PAN DPP, South Jakarta, on Monday, (June 3, 2024). Zulhas previously suggested that Kaesang team up with Zita Anjani in the Jakarta Pilkada because he wanted Jakarta to be led by young people. “Kaesang is young, I even suggested it before, ‘Sir, I proposed it a year ago, what if Jakarta is led by young people, Kaesang.’ That was about a year ago, if I’m not mistaken,” he said. Although the Supreme Court (MA) has altered the age limit for regional head candidates, giving Kaesang the chance to run for the Jakarta gubernatorial election, Jokowi still prohibited it. “‘Now it’s allowed, Sir.’ I mentioned earlier, yes, then who is the one who filed the lawsuit, right. Now it’s allowed, it was challenged. ‘Don’t do it, Mr. Zul,’ that’s about it,” he concluded. PSI Secretary-General Says No Internal Discussion Yet About Kaesang Running for 2024 Pilkada Head of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), Kaesang Pangarep, is a potential to run as a gubernatorial candidate after the Supreme Court (MA) issued a regulation regarding the age of regional head candidates. However, there has been no confirmation from Kaesang on whether he will run for regional head. Kaesang has been speculated to participate in the Jakarta gubernatorial election after his poster appeared alongside Gerindra politician and Prabowo’s nephew, Budi Djiwandono. The Secretary-General of PSI, Raja Juli Antoni, stated that there has been no internal discussion regarding the youngest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) running in the 2024 Pilkada. “No (internal discussion yet),” said Antoni at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, on Monday (June 3, 2024). Antoni stated that whether Kaesang will run this year depends on Kaesang himself. Furthermore, the coalition parties of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) need to discuss whether it is advantageous for Kaesang to run in the Pilkada or not. “Ask Mas Kaesang,” he said. “It depends on Mas Kaesang and KIM what’s best,” remarked Antoni. **2024 Pilkada Schedule** Here is the schedule for the 2024 Pilkada stages: 1.
