**PKB Says Not Certain to Support Anies Baswedan** PKB Deputy Secretary General Syaiful Huda stated that his party is not certain to support Anies Baswedan in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. This is because PKB still has one more name being considered, namely Ida Fauziyah. "PKB has not yet decided to support Anies, we are considering two names," stated Huda, during an interview at the Parliamentary Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 26.

According to Huda, another PKS confusion is pairing Anies-Sohibul directly, which he considers a blunder. "The ensuing problem is immediately pairing Mr. Anies and Mr. Sohibul Iman. In my view, that’s a blunder," he said. Huda said that by pairing Anies with Sohibul, it closes the door for other parties to join in supporting Anies. "This will close the door for other parties to partner and form this coalition," he said.

**Response from Central Java Police Chief Ahmad Luthfi** Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Ahmad Luthfi's name is gaining traction to run in the 2024 Central Java Pilkada. He responded to this matter. "I am still on duty. If it is the people's aspiration and the people assess it, but for now, I am still on duty carrying out official activities," Luthfi stated at The Tribrata, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, on June 24, 2024. So far, he has not communicated with any political party about the Central Java Pilkada. "Not yet, not yet (no communication)," he stated. However, he is ready to relinquish his position if endorsed as a gubernatorial candidate by a political party. "Yes, of course (I will resign if nominated)," he said.

The presentation of the endorsement was attended by officials from both political groups, including Gresik politician and elected DPR RI official Majiddanor Thoriq, also known as Jiddan.
