JAKARTA - The chairman of the PDIP faction, Utut Adianto, was reluctant to comment on the results of a survey which recorded the highest electability of Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate in 2024. In fact, 50 percent of PDIP voters in the 2019 general election claimed to support Ganjar. According to Utut, the party is in line with the direction of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri not to speak out about the survey results. "In this case, we are just standing straight. Mrs. Chairwoman issued a letter on August 11, 2021 not to comment on this," said Utut at the DPR Building, Wednesday, December 22. Internally, PDIP, said Utut, has not conducted surveys of candidates for the 2024 presidential election. Regarding the surveys that are starting to appear, each survey agency is assessed as being the right. "Not yet, not yet, if the survey is the right of people, the methodology is the technique of taking random samples from this which you want to send. If later, Mother said (Megawati, ed) pointed A we would go all out A, Mother pointed out B would go all out B," he said . It is known, the Charta Politica Indonesia Survey Institute stated that the electability of the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, was in the first position as a presidential candidate for 2024. While the second position was Gerindra Chairman Prabowo Subianto and in third place was the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan.

"Ganjar Pranowo got the highest electability. Ganjar got 25.5 percent, Prabowo Subianto 22.3 and Anies 17.7 percent," said Executive Director of Charta Politica Indonesia Yunarto Wijaya, Monday, December 20.

Yunarto said, the majority of respondents who have been steady with their choices are 55.0 percent. "Meanwhile, it is still possible to change to 38.5 percent and not know or not answer 6.8 percent," he said.

The survey was conducted on 29 - 6 December 2021 using the multistage random sampling method. The number of respondents is 1,200 respondents with a margin of error of + 2.83 percent at the 95 percent confidence level.
