JAKARTA - The founder of the survey agency KedaiKOPI, Hendri Satrio or Hensat, assesses that PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri will not turn a blind eye to the results of Ganjar Pranowo's electability survey which is currently superior as a presidential candidate (candidate) in 2024. However, according to Hensat, Megawati will prioritize ideological considerations to determine the name of the presidential candidate from the PDIP. It doesn't matter whether the survey results are high or low. "Mr. Megawati will not close her eyes with the results of the survey, but her considerations have been ideological considerations," said Hensat to VOI, Wednesday, December 21. Hensat revealed that this ideological consideration had been practiced on Ganjar when he nominated him as governor of Central Java. At that time, Ganjar's electability was still minimal but on the basis of Megawati's ideological considerations actually submitted him in the Central Java gubernatorial election in 2018. "Ganjar himself, for example, forwarded in Central Java with only 7 percent electability, which Mrs. Mega used ideological considerations were thus promoted," he said. Hensat assessed that Megawati lost the results of the survey, right," said Hensat.

It is known, the results of the LSI Denny JA survey in October 2022, stated that the dilemma of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri regarding the nomination of two PDIP cadres, namely Ganjar Pranowo and Puan Maharani, will be used as presidential or vice presidential candidates Prabowo Subianto.

If you propose Puan, PDIP is afraid of Ganjar being mobilized by another political party. But if you present Ganjar as vice presidential candidate, the electability of the governor of Central Java is higher than Prabowo.

Referring to the results of the electability survey, LSI researcher Denny JA Fitri Hari said Ganjar was 25.8 percent superior, Prabowo Subianto 23.9 percent, and Puan Maharani 2.9 percent. The three figures, said Fitri, are also included in the current radar of the PDIP presidential and vice presidential candidates.

"The dilemma is to become Prabowo's vice presidential candidate for Puan or Ganjar, or leave Prabowo and advance PDIP cadres as presidential candidates," Fitri said in a survey presentation, Tuesday, December 20.

If Puan as Prabowo's vice presidential candidate, continued Fitri, there will be the potential for Ganjar to be proposed by other parties as a presidential candidate. For example, by Golkar, PAN and PPP who are members of the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB).

However, Fitri considered it inappropriate for PDIP to make Ganjar Prabowo's vice president. Because Ganjar's electability is higher than Prabowo.

"If you turn over Ganjar as Prabowo's vice presidential candidate, wouldn't Ganjar's electability be higher? And today's PDIP is bigger than Gerindra," said Fitri.
