JAKARTA - The Voxpol Center Research and Consulting assesses that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi)'s support for one of the candidates in the 2024 presidential election does not affect electability much. This is based on the results of a survey they conducted on October 22-7 November.

"President Joko Widodo's influence is fairly low to direct the public to certain candidates," said Executive Director of the Voxpol Center Research and Consulting Pangi Syarwi Chaniago in a written statement quoted on Saturday, November 19.

Through a survey of 1,220 respondents, 65.7 percent said Jokowi's support would not affect their choice. While 25 percent of them felt affected and the remaining 9.3 percent did not know or did not answer.

Of the numbers affected by Jokowi's choice, 32.1 percent chose Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo; 22.3 percent chose former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan; and 18.7 percent chose Gerindra Party chairman Prabowo Subianto.

This survey activity uses a multistage random sampling method with a margin of error of approximately 2.81 percent.

President Jokowi has indeed signaled several times to support certain names that have the potential to win in the 2024 presidential election. One of them, Prabowo Subianto, who now serves as Minister of Defense.

This moment was conveyed by President Jokowi while attending the 8th Anniversary of the Perindo Party. In his remarks, he said Prabowo had already run in the 2014 and 2019 presidential elections so that 2024 was the share of the former Danjen Kopassus.

"I won twice, in Solo I was drawn to Jakarta (so) governor, won. Then twice in the presidential election also won," Jokowi said on Monday, November 7.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Prabowo, it looks like after this Mr. Prabowo's quota," he added.

When asked again about his remarks, Jokowi invited the public to interpret it themselves. Including, the possibility of providing support to Prabowo.

"Yes, it means a signal, yes, it's okay. But I said it's okay," said Jokowi after attending the 8th Anniversary of Perindo in Jakarta.
