The independent candidate pair was declared ineligible (TMS) in the 2024 Malang City Pilkada by the General Election Commission (Komisi Pemilihan Umum) based on the results of administrative verification. Bawaslu had mediated both parties, but no agreement was reached. Thus, an adjudication hearing was held, using a third party, in this case, Bawaslu Malang City, as the adjudicator. The first hearing was held on Tuesday, with the agenda being the reading of the petitioner's request and the response from KPU as the respondent.

**PKS Receives Positive Signal from Surya Paloh to Build Coalition in Jakarta Pilkada** The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has nominated the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair for the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub. PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu mentioned that the General Chairman of the Nasdem Party, Surya Paloh, has given a positive signal towards this pair. "I am continuously building political communication with the NasDem Party, especially I made an effort to meet Mr. Surya Paloh, alhamdulillah he received me warmly and gave a positive signal to build cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada," said Syaikhu at the Sahid Hotel, Jakarta, on Tuesday. Syaikhu stated that PKS needs to build communication with other political parties, including NasDem, to meet the requirements for the nomination of governor and deputy governor in the Jakarta Pilkada. "PKS understands it cannot nominate a candidate alone because the number of seats we have does not yet meet the requirements to endorse independently; we have only 18 seats, and the requirement is 22. So, we still need 4 more seats," he said. After NasDem, PKS will soon build communication with the Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin, to build a coalition in the Jakarta Pilkada. "God willing, in the next few days, I will also attempt to communicate with PKB, with Cak Imin," he concluded.

**Reasons PKS Endorses Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in Jakarta Pilkada 2024** The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has formally nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial (cagub) and deputy gubernatorial (cawagub) candidates in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu explained the reasons for endorsing Anies and Sohibul Iman for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. Anies Baswedan is considered a figure who achieved significant progress while leading DKI Jakarta. According to Syaikhu, Anies' performance has made the residents of Jakarta happy. "Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan succeeded as governor during the 2017-2022 period with various accomplishments in different sectors of development, advancing the city and satisfaction to its residents," said Syaikhu at the Party Leadership School Opening at Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. Meanwhile, Sohibul Iman, according to Syaikhu, is a scholar. He mentioned that Sohibul also has an impressive track record in government. "Mr. Sohibul Iman is a technocrat and a scholar who has served as the rector of Paramadina University. He has served in the legislature as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) from 2013-2014 and has been PKS President from 2015-2020," clarified Syaikhu. Syaikhu stated that PKS is a cadre party with the mandate to conduct cadre and leadership regeneration. Therefore, he said, in the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada, the party will endorse its cadres as candidates for regional heads. "Especially in areas where PKS is the winning party or has a majority of seats in the DPRD. PKS will endeavor to the utmost to endorse its own cadres as candidates," said Syaikhu.

Chairman of Bawaslu Malang City, Mochammad Arifudin, stated that the petitioner's main points, namely the independent candidate pair Sam HC-Rizky Boncel, had been presented. However, the respondent's response was postponed to Wednesday. "The respondent was not ready to provide their response. We have also not received the draft from the respondent," said Arifudin after the hearing. The dispute arose after the KPU's administrative verification results declared that the Sam HC-Rizky Boncel pair had only submitted 40,689 support documents out of the minimum requirement of 48,882 supports needed to become independent candidates in the 2024 Pilkada. Meanwhile, according to Sam HC-Rizky Boncel, they had 54,000 supports. In a closed mediation at Bawaslu Malang City on June 22, no agreement was reached, leading to the adjudication hearing.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Mr. Sotarduga suggested that if their party collaborates with PKB to nominate Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada, they propose the gubernatorial seat in East Java to PDIP. "For instance, in Jakarta, if PKB is the gubernatorial candidate, may PDIP be the gubernatorial candidate in East Java? Sure, it’s not a barter, but that's what cooperation means, we can't win everything on our own, we must work together," stated Eriko at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday.

According to Sohibul, he and Anies are ready to compete fairly in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. Including, he said, if they have to face the former West Java Governor (Jabar) Ridwan Kamil (RK). "InsyaAllah, we are ready to compete fairly," he said. Sohibul believes that whoever candidate for gubernatorial and vice-gubernatorial posts proposed by political parties (political parties) aims for the betterment of Jakarta. "Whoever wins is ultimately for the people of Jakarta, for the betterment of Jakarta's people, so there is no issue if the people of Jakarta trust us, we will govern, and if they don't, there is no problem," said the former PKS President.
