JAKARTA - The electability of the Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan Party (PDIP) is still ranked first in the results of the latest survey by the Indonesian Political Parameters survey institute, Saturday, June 5.

PDIP's electability is still Wahid's number with a gain of 22.1 percent, following Gerindra in second with 11.9 percent, Golkar in third with 10.8 percent.

"Meanwhile, PDIP is still leading the vote for political parties with 22.1 percent", said Parameter Indonesia executive director Adi Prayitno when releasing the survey results in a webinar, Saturday, June 5.

A significant increase occurred in the Democratic and PKS parties. Democrats managed to rise to fourth position 8.4 percent, followed by PKB 8.2 percent.

"The increase in the electability of the Democratic party is allegedly due to the frenzy of the feud with Moeldoko some time ago", said Adi.

While the sixth is PKS 7.5 percent, the seventh NasDem 5.0 percent, the eighth PAN 4.3 percent, and the ninth PPP 3.5 percent.

"PKS gets electability incentives as a result of defending Islamic groups that are considered marginalized", said Adi.

This survey was conducted on a sample of 1,200 respondents. Taken by simple random sampling method from 6,000 telephone numbers selected randomly from the existing sample frame from face-to-face interviews in the period September 2017-December 2020, and adjusted for the proportion of the population and gender.

The survey's margin of error is +- 2.9 percent at the 95 percent confidence level.
