"This mandate is an aspiration (proposal, desire, and hope) from the DKI cadre and inspiration (thoughts, considerations, and decisions) from the Central Leadership," said Sohibul. Therefore, Sohibul Iman said he would accept the task given by PKS to run in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial race. "As a cadre, it is not appropriate for me to ignore the cadre's aspirations and the leadership's inspiration," stated Sohibul.
