JAKARTA - The Indonesian Survey Circle (LSI) Denny JA said there would be three kings or queen makers in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

The three are PDIP Party General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri, Gerindra Party Chair Prabowo Subianto, and Golkar Party Chair Airlangga Hartarto. The reason is that their party has pocketed at least 3/4 of the tickets to carry the presidential and vice-presidential candidates.

"Why do we call these three figures king or queen in 2024? Because they have pocketed a minimum of 3/4 tickets or full tickets", said LSI senior researcher Denny JA, Adjie Alfaraby, in a virtual release, Thursday, June 17.

Adjie explained that Megawati was able to become a queen maker because based on seats in the House of Representatives (DPR), PDIP Party controlled 128 seats or 19.33 percent. So that the bull party automatically meets the requirements and has the right to carry its own presidential and vice-presidential candidates in the 2024 presidential election.

Meanwhile, he continued, Golkar Party only has 85 seats in the DPR or 12.31 percent, and Gerindra 78 seats in the DPR or 12.57 percent.

This means, said Adjie, that Golkar and Gerindra only have 3/4 tickets, and need another 1/4 tickets to carry presidential or vice-presidential candidates.

"If Golkar and Gerindra finally form a coalition with one of the parties that currently have a seat in the DPR, it will be sufficient to meet the requirements for candidacy", he said.

"However, the exception is if the two forms a coalition for PPP Party, because they only have 19 seats in the DPR", added Adjie.

The LSI Denny JA survey involved 1.200 respondents, with a margin of error of 2.9 percent. Meanwhile, the data collection technique used is face-to-face interviews with respondents.

This survey was taken from May 27 to June 4, 2021, in 34 provinces with the sampling method used was multistage random sampling.
