JAKARTA - Presidential Chief of Staff (KSP), Moeldoko, is included in the top 4 presidential candidate exchanges (cawapres) for the 2024 potential. These results were taken in a survey by the National Survey Institute (LSN) which was conducted in the period 16-29 November 2022 in 34 provinces. Moeldoko competed closely with the Chairman of the Democratic Party Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) in third position. At the top position was West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil, followed by Menparekraf Sandiaga Uno in second place. There are four figures who were most nominated by the public as vice presidential candidates, namely Ridwan Kamil (23.8 percent), Sandiaga Uno (18.7 percent), AHY (12.4 percent) and Moeldoko (10.5 percent)," said LSN Executive Director Gema Nusantara Bakry in a survey release quoted on Wednesday, December 21. Bakry explained that if Ridwan Kamil was simulated in pairs with any presidential candidate, either Prabowo Subianto, Ganjar Pranowo or Anies Baswedan then he could achieve the highest electability. "Sandiaga also has a high level of electability if paired with Ganjar or Prabowo," explained Bakry.

Meanwhile, AHY, said Bakry, only has high electability when he is Anies' vice presidential candidate. Meanwhile, Moeldoko has a high chance of being elected if he becomes a vice presidential candidate accompanying Ganjar Pranowo.

With 14 months remaining ahead of the 2024 General Election, Bakry assessed that it is still very possible for a black horse to emerge, both for the presidential and vice presidential candidates.

According to him, ahead of the election time in February 2024, Moeldoko and Ridwan Kamil could just poke at the top to enliven the competition for presidential candidates. As for the position of vice president, said Bakry, there is a very open emergence of new names that have never stepped on the survey board.

As happened in the 2009 presidential election, there was Boediono and the 2019 presidential election Maruf Amin. Even Jusuf Kalla (JK) when running as vice presidential candidate in 2004 and 2009 was also not included in the release of surveys of various mainstream research institutions," he said.
