JAKARTA - Political observer Firman Manan assesses that from a number of surveys released in the past month, it shows that the position of West Java Governor M Ridwan Kamil is the most stable compared to other figures.

"So I think one of the main factors is that regional heads can see what they are doing, especially during a pandemic, the public will see what they are doing," said Firman Manan when contacted by telephone by reporters, reported by Antara, Friday, August 27.

The Indicators survey institute released a national survey with the results of Prabowo Subianto, Ganjar Pranowo, Anies Baswedan, Ridwan Kamil, Sandiaga Uno, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono and Khofifah Indar Parawansa, being the names with the highest electability to become RI 2024 Presidential Candidates.

In the results of a survey conducted by Indicator for the period of July 30 to August 4, 2021, Prabowo Subianto was the name with the highest electability in a simulation of 10 names.

as many as 27.8 percent of respondents chose Prabowo as a presidential candidate if the presidential election was held at this time.

In the second position is Ganjar Pranowo with an electability rate of 21.4 percent and the third position is Anies Baswedan with a vote of 14.8 percent of respondents. Ridwan Kamil is in fourth position with 6.9 percent of the vote.

Then below him is Sandiaga Uno with 6.1 percent, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono with 5.9 percent, then 3.2 percent of respondents chose Khofifah Indar Parawansa.

According to Firman, when it comes to Ridwan Kamil's electability, which is still at five percent, there are a number of factors that influence it compared to other figures.

"The first is about performance, the second can be a party base, but Kang Emil is not a party person. Pak Ganjar has an advantage because there is a PDIP mass base that supports him, if Kang Emil doesn't have one," he said.

Firman said that with this fact, Ridwan Kamil's electability stability is extraordinary considering that other figures are mostly based on political parties. such as Prabowo Subianto, Ganjar Pranowo, AHY, Sandiaga Uno, Puan Maharani and Airlangga.

"So it's good enough to be able to compete with strong competitors," said Firman Manan.
