"We will immediately coordinate and connect, as well as reach out and meet the community to achieve the goal of success," he said on Monday (24/6/2024). In terms of his explanation for picking Tri Putro Utomo as his deputy, Syahrul saw the potential and notoriety that is expected to help garner votes. "Mas Tri is a prosperous entrepreneur, he also stands for the southern part of Gresik, while I stand for the middle and north areas. Our moniker 'Santri' is a representation of Gresik," said the thirty-three-year-old politician. Foreseen to go against the current holder, Syahrul stated that he is ready and dedicated to making Gresik improved and progressive.

**Former Anies Spokesperson Praises Sohibul Iman, Criticizes Jakarta Pilkada as Stepping Stone to 2029 Presidential Election** Former Co-Captain of the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN) Winning Team, Sudirman Said, supports the PKS DPP's decision to propose Sohibul Iman as the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. Sohibul Iman's capacity and integrity are proven, so there is no doubt about his ability to lead Jakarta in the future. "Certainly, friends and cadres in the PKS Faction in the DKI DPRD will be good sources and provide good input, given their daily legislative, budgetary, and oversight duties in Jakarta Province," said Sudirman, as quoted by Antara, on Monday, June 24, 2024. According to the former Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Sohibul Iman has a wide network among professionals and businesspeople. Therefore, he believes Sohibul will quickly receive the necessary input. Additionally, Sudirman Said believes that Sohibul is the right person to lead Jakarta because he will work with focus. So far, Sudirman has not seen any aspirations for Sohibul to advance to a higher political competition, such as the presidential election. Sudirman also reminds the public to choose gubernatorial candidates who genuinely want to manage Jakarta towards becoming a global city while addressing its complex problems. "I see Jakarta in an important transformation process. The next Jakarta governor must be 100 percent focused. Do not make Jakarta merely a political stage, especially a stepping stone to the 2029 presidential election," stated the former spokesperson for Anies Baswedan.

"While party candidates may not always rely solely on their parties in contests, they still have mobilization potential. Especially parties like PDI Perjuangan and PKS, whose voter bases are typically solid in Jakarta," he added.

Head of Bappilu DPW NasDem Jatim S. Suhandoyo clarified the justification for giving the official backing to the "Santri" pair, mentioning the strong commitment of both young figures to enhance the welfare of the citizens of Gresik.

The ballot boxes for the recount are currently well protected at the East Java Police HQ. The Regional Election Commission specifically entrusted the electoral materials because, in accordance with the MK ruling, the police were designated to provide security.

Syaikhu mentioned that PKS needs to build communication with other political parties (parpol) including NasDem to meet the requirements for nominating a governor and deputy governor in the Jakarta Pilkada. "PKS realizes it cannot nominate a candidate alone in the Pilkada because the number of seats we have does not yet meet the requirement to nominate independently, we only have 18 seats, while the requirement is 22. So we still need 4 more seats," he stated. 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. "InsyAllah in the coming time I will also try to communicate with PKB, with Cak Imin," he concluded.
