JAKARTA - The results of the latest national survey from Indonesia Political Opinion (IPO) have placed the Gerindra Party as the party with the highest electability level in Indonesia. The survey, which was conducted on October 9-17, 2025, shows that the Gerindra Party is superior to 33.5 percent, outperforming the PDI-P with 16.4 percent.

Followed by Golkar with 9.1 percent, PKB 6.2 percent, and the National Mandate Party (5.0 percent) which managed to enter the top five.

This PAN position is in the spotlight because it has overtaken several other major parties such as Democrats 4.9 percent, PKS 4.8 percent), and NasDem 4.0 percent). On the other hand, parties such as Perindo, PPP, and PSI are below 2 percent.

IPO Executive Director Dedi Kurnia Syah explained that Gerindra's dominance shows the strong effect of leadership and exposure to the party's national figure in the government.

The performance of the main Gerindra Party figure who is currently in a strategic position of government has a major impact on public trust. Gerindra's consistent electability above 30 percent indicates a solid consolidation of support," said Dedi in a survey release in Jakarta, Tuesday, October 21.

Meanwhile, the entry of PAN into the top five is considered an indication of the party's success in maintaining political communication and a moderate image in the midst of national political dynamics.

PAN shows stable and adaptive performance in responding to public issues. This increase is inseparable from the party's ability to build closeness with rational voters and young groups," said Dedi.

The IPO survey involved 1,200 respondents from all provinces in Indonesia using the stratified multistage random sampling (SMRS) method, 95 percent confidence level, and a margin of error of up to 2.9 percent.

In addition to party electability, this survey also noted that 92.4 percent of respondents knew the PDI-P logo, 90.6 percent knew Gerindra, and 90.1 percent knew Golkar.

"This indicates that the level of popularity of the old party is still very high in the eyes of the public," said Dedi.

Dedi added that the electoral map ahead of 2029 is expected to still be dominated by established parties, but the opportunity for medium parties such as PAN or NasDem to increase electability is still wide open if they are able to maintain political momentum and positioning.

"Indonesian politics currently tends to move on to figure factors and stability, not just ideology. A party that is able to display strong and consistent leadership will become a public choice," he concluded.
