JAKARTA - The Indonesian Election Study Institute (LKPI) released the results of an electability survey of the pair of candidates for governor and candidate for deputy governor of Central Papua ahead of the 2024 Pilkada voting day. As a result, the electability of the Willem Wandik-Aloyius Giyai pair reached 60.1 percent.

LKPI Executive Director, Togu Lubis explained that after the four candidate pairs conducted an open campaign and debate, there was a change in data related to the introduction of the people of Central Papua to four candidates. The pair Willem Wandik-Aloysius Giyai recorded an introduction figure of 91.8 percent with a community preference rate of 92.2 percent.

Then the John Wempi Wetipo-Agustinus Anggaibak pair was known to be 65.7 percent with a community preference rate of 54.1 percent. Followed by the Meki Nawipa-Denas Geley candidate pair with 64.7 percent with a community preference rate of 59.3 percent.

Meanwhile, Natkime's Natuni-Titus Natkime candidate pair has an introduction rate of 63.9 percent with a public preference rate of 57.5 percent.

Meanwhile, Togu revealed, there is a significant relationship between the introduction and preference of the people of Central Papua at the fourth electability level of candidate pairs in two Mimika and Nabire Regencies that do not use the noken system.

"Where when surveyed using voice paper simulations, the electability rate of Willem Wandik-Aloysius Giyai reached 60.1 percent, Meki Nawipa-Denas Geley reached 12.3 percent, John Wempi Wetipo-Agustinus Anggaibak reached 9.6 percent, Natkime's Natuni-Titus Natkime was 7.2 percent, and those who did not choose reached 10.8 percent," said Togu in his statement, Monday, November 18.

LKPI, continued Togu, also conducted surveys in six districts that used the noken system in the Central Papua Pilkada. These include Deiyai, Dogiyai, Intan Jaya, Paniai, Puncak, and Puncak Jaya Regencies.

This, said Togu, was carried out by a survey with questions from the four candidate pairs who would be elected as Governor and Deputy Governor of Central Papua with ballot aids.

"The result of the candidate pair with an electability level or number of ballots wrapped and put in a noken for the Willem Wandik-Aloysius Giyai candidate pair reached 70.8 percent. Then, Meki Nawipa-Denas Geley reached 11.2 percent, Natakime Natuni-Titus Natkime reached 7.7 percent, and John Wempi Wetipo-Agustinus Anggaibak reached 4.7 percent. Meanwhile, he did not choose to enter the token to reach 5.6 percent," said Togu.

Togu revealed that the survey also found three aspects that are expected by the public in the new leader in the Central Papua Pilkada which was held for the first time. As a result, as many as 88.8 percent want improvements in the quality of education and as much as 85.6 percent want improvements as well as improving health and reducing stunting and malnutrition.

"Then, 89.9 percent want an economic increase and the welfare of the family is still what Central Papuans miss to get out of extreme poverty," he said.

The LKPI survey was conducted on November 5-15, 2024, involving 1,580 respondents from eight districts in Central Papua. Namely Deiyai, Dogiyai, Intan Jaya, Mimika, Nabire, Paniai, Puncak, and Puncak Jaya regencies.

This survey aims to measure the popularity, acceptability, and electability of four pairs of candidates for the head of the Central Papua region.

Respondents were randomly selected from the population of permanent voters for the Central Papua Pilkada in eight districts with a margin of error of up to 2.46 percent and a confidence level of 95 percent.
