SURABAYA - The survey agency Accurate Research and Consulting Indonesia (ARCI) noted that the electability of the incumbent Khofifah Indar Parawansa was far superior to other names and figures.
However, Khofifah's position is not secure, because the names of former East Java Provincial Secretary Heru Tjahjono, and Pasuruan Mayor Saifullah Yusuf (Gus Ipul) who are also Secretary General of PBNU have the potential to compete in the upcoming 2024 East Java gubernatorial election.
"But Khofifah's electability figure is not completely safe, even though the difference with other names or candidates is far. Because there is still potential for other candidates (names Gus Ipul and Heru), if they are serious about working on their support in East Java," said ARCI Director, Baihaki Sirajt, when releasing the survey. in Surabaya, Wednesday, July 20.
In addition to Gus Ipul and Heru, there are also the names of the chairmen of political parties in East Java, such as Emil Elistianto Dardak, who currently serves as the Deputy Governor of East Java as well as the Chairman of the East Java Democrats.
Then the names of East Java PDIP Chairman Kusnadi, East Java Gerindra Chairman Anwar Sadad, East Java Golkar Chairman M Sarmuji, East Java PKB Chairman Abdul Halim Iskandar, and East Java PPP Chairman Mundjidah Wahab.
According to Baihaki, Heru's name came about because many respondents in the Mataraman area of East Java wanted Heru to run as East Java Regional Governor. The Mataraman area includes Ngawi Regency, Magetan Regency, Madiun Regency, Madiun City, Nganjuk Regency, Kediri Regency, Kediri City, Ponorogo Regency, Pacitan Regency, Trenggalek Regency, Tulungagung Regency, Blitar Regency and Blitar City.
"Pak Heru's name was mentioned a lot by respondents in the Mataraman area. Because indeed he had been the Regent of Tulungagung for two terms and also recently retired from the East Java Provincial Secretary," he said.
Likewise, the name Gus Ipul, is widely mentioned by the people in East Java. Besides being the mayor of Pasuruan, Gus Ipul's name is quite popular because he served as Deputy Governor of East Java for two terms, and when he also served as Secretary General of PBNU.
According to Baihaki, Khofifah has the highest electability, which is natural, because she often goes down to carry out her activities as Governor of East Java. However, Baihaki said that Khofifah's position was not secure with the emergence of Gus Ipul and Heru.
"Currently the electability of Khofifah Indar Parawansa is still dominant, there is no other candidate or name that is close to the electability of Khofifah which is currently not being pursued. What is interesting is the emergence of the name Heru Tjahjono, the former Secretary of the East Java Province," he said.
Meanwhile, Heru Tjahjono, who was confirmed separately regarding the ARCI survey results, did not say much. He only expressed gratitude and gratitude for the trust given to the community. "Thank you for my name appearing, thank you for the public's trust. Of course this is an honor for me," said Heru briefly.
