This decision is inspired by his determination to present a different choice, presenting a unique vision and expertise to the Banten community, apart from the long-standing dominant dynasty in the region.

He disclosed that his decision to run was initially not planned, but the encouragement from the community and his family made him reevaluate. He noted that a meeting with VP Ma’ruf Amin significantly influenced his decision to run. «I was invited by Mr. Ma’ruf Amin, and we had a meeting. He inquired, are you really running, Mr. Arief? If you want to run, you have to win; if you’re not sure you can win, don’t run, he said. I agreed with him.

**Prepare Alternatives** The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) nominated PKS Deputy Chair of the Syuro Council Mohamad Sohibul Iman as a prospective gubernatorial candidate for the Special Capital Region of Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada. Regarding this, political analyst Adi Prayitno sees this as a reasonable move. He noted that in addition to being a cadre party, PKS also has high voter support in Jakarta. «I think it is quite rational for PKS to propose their internal cadre, Sohibul Iman, to run in the Jakarta Pilgub. There are two reasons: first, PKS is a cadre party that has always put forward its cadres to compete in Pilkada, not only in Jakarta but also in other regions,» he stated to Liputan6.com on June 24, 2024. «The second reason is the significant increase in PKS’s legislative vote count in 2024, making them the highest vote-winner in Jakarta. These two variables explain why PKS nominated their internal cadre,» he continued.
However, according to him, it is different with Gerindra, where they will make maximum efforts to cooperate with the Coalition for Advanced Indonesia (KIM) party to endorse Ridwan Kamil. «But for the Gerindra Party in Jakarta, we will make maximum efforts to build communication, especially with KIM parties and other parties,» he said.
Additionally, he mentioned that the party also considered various inputs from figures, clerics, religious leaders, cross-sect leaders, scholars, and the public in Jakarta. «The main aspects considered were candidates with good leadership experience in both the executive and legislative branches, a proven track record, credibility, capacity, and a high probability of winning,» he stated. Furthermore, Syaikhu believes that the Anies-Sohibul Iman pair is a good match. According to Syaikhu, they complement each other for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. «Some have already coined the acronym AMAN (Anies-Sohibul Iman). Whatever the name, Anies-Sohibul Iman has the qualifications to complement each other and lead DKI Jakarta,» said Syaikhu.
The meeting focused on economic inflation and the 2024 regional elections (Pilkada). «Oh yes, when party leaders meet, they talk about many things. But what we discussed was inflation. We also talked about the Pilkada,» Zulhas told reporters at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta, Friday, June 14, 2024.

However, he noted that the party leaders required Kaesang to win the Pilkada. «Yes, I believe so. I informed at that time to the President whether Kaesang could. The President responded, ‘No’.
