On the other hand, with Sohibul Iman running, Adi continued, PKS is also targeting to pair him with Anies Baswedan. "Simultaneously, PKS is also preparing Sohibul Iman to potentially pair with Anies Baswedan. Because it must be acknowledged, PKS is quite closely associated with Anies Baswedan. So, this is what PKS seems to be aiming for, not to miss the momentum as the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta, ensuring PKS can nominate their cadre either as governor or vice governor," he clarified.

This decision is motivated by his resolve to present a different choice, presenting a different vision and experience to the citizens of Banten, outside the long-standing political family in the region. Wismansyah's tenure in Tangerang has been recognized for advancement in city management and comprehensive infrastructure improvements, creating a strong foundation to advance Banten Province. In this context, he is dedicated to championing social fairness, sustainable development, and fair development throughout Banten. Arief expressed his readiness to face the challenges of the Banten Pilkada with a vision focused on positive change and progress for all segments of society. He shared that his decision to run was initially unintended, but the encouragement from the community and his family made him reevaluate. He stated that a meeting with Vice President Ma'ruf Amin significantly influenced his decision to run. "I was asked by VP 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. Finally, on Monday afternoon, I decided to run," Arief said when spoken to in the Karawaci neighborhood of Tangerang City, Sunday (23/06/2024). Arief also shared his views on the dominant political dynasty in Banten, noting the division in the community related to this dominance. Nevertheless, he is hopeful about running with well-known candidates in the region. "I hope to collaborate with the Banten community to build together, including with the existing dynasties," he added. Arief highlighted his readiness to work with various parties for the development of Banten, without neglecting the interests of the people. "Whatever the outcome, I hope the next leadership can offer the best for Banten," he concluded. With this step, Arief Rachadiono Wismansyah invites the people of Banten to back a shared vision in advancing the region through the upcoming election.
