Chairman of the Central Java Gerindra DPD Sudaryono and the Head of the Indonesian LKPP Hendrar Prihadi will compete fiercely from the results of the 2024 Central Java Governor and Deputy Governor Election survey conducted by the Indonesian Election Study Institute (LKPI). LKPI Executive Director Tobu Lubis said the survey was conducted in 35 districts/cities with 1,820 respondents aged over 17 years. That number of respondents was taken from the population of the 2024 General Elections Fixed Voter List (DPT) in Central Java Province as many as 28,289,413 people. Referring to the results of the "top of mind" survey of prospective governor candidates in the 2024 Central Java Pilkada held by LKPI, the following figures included in the stock exchange, namely Hendrar Prihadi or Hendi, Sudaryono, Taj Yasin Maimoen (former Deputy Governor of Central Java), Dico M. Ganinduto (Regent of Kendal), Muhammad Yusuf Chudlori (Gus Yusuf), and Inspector General of Police Ahmad Lutfie (Kapolda Central Java). Hendi's electability, who is also the former Mayor of Semarang, reached 21.2 percent, followed by Sudaryono at 19.1 percent, then Taj Yasin Maimoen reached 16.6 percent. Below him, Ahmad Lutfie with 11.7 percent, Dico M. Ganinduto with 11.1 percent, then Gus Yusuf with an electability rate of 9.2 percent, while those who did not choose reached 11.1 percent. Based on the survey, it was known that of the 1820 respondents from Central Java who were selected as respondents, only 49.3 percent were aware of the Central Java Pilkada in November 2024, and the rest, namely 50.7 percent did not know or did not understand the election. "Sampling withdrawal uses a randomly graded sampling technique or'multi stage random sampling'," he said in a statement received in Semarang, Sunday, April 28. In addition, he said, the survey, which was held from April 12-22, 2024, was claimed to have a "margin of error" of approximately 2.3 percent with a confidence level of 95 percent. Responding to the results of the LKPI survey which placed Sudaryono as a new figure with a fairly high gain, a political observer at the Veterans National Development University (UPN) Yogyakarta, Ludiro Madu, said that Sudaryono's figure means that he is known to the people of Central Java. "The people of Central Java want a new leader, Sudaryono is the choice of the people of Central Java. Because they want fresh air or change for Central Java," he said. Although there is a strong champion from the PDI-P, namely Hendi, he believes that the people of Central Java will prefer Sudaryono as the cagub of choice. "Although there is a champion from PDIP, namely Hendrar Prihadi, the people of Central Java will prefer to choose Sudaryono as the Cagub of choice," said Ludiro. He admitted that the fight in the Central Java gubernatorial election would be very tight so that it became Sudaryono's opportunity to work hard to win the Central Java gubernatorial election.

Not only that, he said, Prabowo-Gibran's victory in the 2024 presidential election would also have an impact on Sudaryono to get great support from all people of Central Java. "So, Prabowo-Gibran's victory in the 2024 presidential election will also have an impact on Sudaryono to get support from all groups of Central Java people," he said.
