BOGOR - The Archipelago Maju Vision Study Institute (LS Vinus) released the results of the electability-level survey of the Bogor Regent Candidates and the Governor of West Java in the 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada).

LS Executive Director Vinus Yusfitriadi revealed that currently the candidates for regent and governor have emerged even though they are dominated by individual self-image, not representing political parties.

Yusfitriadi explained that the survey methodology was carried out from April 25 to May 3, 2024 through the cluster random sampling method using the slovin theory in sampling.

"The sample is 1,600 respondents with open and semi-open instruments through face-to-face interviews," said Yusfitriadi.
