JAKARTA - The results of the Indometer survey show the electability of the presidential candidate (readpres) as well as the General Chairperson of the Gerindra Party Prabowo Subianto reached 26.7 percent. The electability was followed by a presidential reading from the PDI-P Ganjar Pranowo at 23.3 percent and a presidential reading of the PDI-P's signature for the Anies Baswedan Association of 15.6 percent. "The electability of Prabowo leaving Ganjar and Anies in the top three positions, followed by AHY and Puan who experienced an increase," said Indometer Executive Director Leonard S B quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, June 20.Leonard with the view of various PDI-P political maneuvers shows that the party bearing the white-snouting bull symbol takes Prabowo as a serious threat. "It seems that the PDI-P is pushing aggressively to gather coalitions with parties, including PPP joining Ganjar," said Leonard. PDI Perjuangan even went even further by approaching Democrats who are notabene to become an opposition force and a "fit enemy". In fact, Democrats have joined the Coalition of Amendments consisting of PKS and the NasDem Party. The meeting of PDI-P DPP Chair Puan Maharani with Democratic Party Chair Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) has also recently become a symbol of the appearance of a new generation of national politicians. "Puan, which was previously under the shadow of Megawati, has now begun to appear and could become a significant factor in the future," Leonard said.
