JAKARTA - The Indonesian Political Opinion (IPO) survey institute released the results of a survey of favorite presidential candidates (candidates) for the public's choice in the upcoming 2024 election. As a result, former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan is in first position with an electability rate of 34.7 percent. Anies' vote was ahead of Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo who was in second place with 29.6 percent. Followed by Gerindra Chairman Prabowo Subianto with 27.5 percent.

IPO Executive Director Dedi Kurnia Syah, revealed that Anies' vote was soaring due to the continuous factor of the Change Coalition. On the other hand, the level of satisfaction with the government has also decreased. In addition, Anies' political safaris to various regions have also influenced people's choices.

"Convincing certainty can trigger public confidence to prepare to choose Anies," said Dedi to reporters, Saturday, March 11.

Meanwhile, for Ganjar who was successfully overtaken, Dedi assessed that the PDIP cadre had problems boosting his electability. This is because Ganjar's name is often associated as a presidential candidate for choice or endorsement of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

"Ganjar is in a difficult situation because he works alone for the mobilization of sympathy, even the support of the President who often says that he is actually hampering Ganjar's growth rate in electability because he is considered Jokowi's person," said Dedi.

"While Anies is considered a figure against Jokowi, on the other hand he has the support of a voice that runs away from Prabowo," he added.

Meanwhile, regarding the favorite vice presidential candidate (Cawapres) version of the IPO survey, the name of the General Chairperson of the Democratic Party Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono came out as the champion with an election rate of 19.5 percent. The next position was occupied by Ridwan Kamil 17.2 percent, Sandiaga Uno 11.7 percent, Erick Thohir 9.5 percent, and Andika Perkasa 3.7 percent. The IPO survey was conducted on March 1-7, 2023 through face-to-face interviews involving 1,200 respondents. Sampling uses multistage random sampling (MRS) techniques or graded sampling with a margin of error (MoE) of 2.5 percent, the data accuracy rate is 95 percent.
