JAKARTA - The Indonesian Political Indicators survey institute released a poll on the electability of prospective West Java Governors in the 2024 Pilkada.

As a result, Dedi Mulyadi as a candidate for governor who was promoted by the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) received the highest electability, amounting to 77.3 percent.

The difference in the number of Dedi's election with other candidates is quite far. Under Dedi, the second highest electability was Ahmad Syaikhu at 10.8 percent.

Then, Acep Adang Ruhiat received 2.2 percent electability and Jeje Wiradinata 2.1 percent. Meanwhile, respondents who did not know or did not answer were 7.7 percent.

"So, it's not very competitive, yes, so far," said the Executive Director of Indicators in a virtual survey presentation, Thursday, September 12.
