JAKARTA - PDIP DPP chairman Said Abdullah is sure that the 2024 presidential election will be held in one round. He said this was in response to the electability survey of PDIP presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo, who returned to or rebounded in several survey institutions. For example, in the Kompas Research and Development survey, simulations of 3 candidates will place the highest electability of Ganjar Pranowo at 34.1 percent. Meanwhile, Prabowo Subianto obtained 31.3 percent of electability, and Anies Baswedan was far behind with 19.2 percent of electability. "From various survey institutions, and finally by Litbang Kompas, previously there were indicators, SMRC, Charta Politica, showing the direction that Ganjar Pranowo's electability is starting to reborn again," said Said at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, August 22. This momentum, said Said, will be used as an evaluation material to take steps and efforts to increase Ganjar's electability in areas that are not yet significant. The legislator for the Madura electoral district, East Java, is also optimistic that the 2024 presidential election will be held in one round. "We are optimistic that we will pass the contestation on February 14 (February, ed) with one round," he said. "Because, if there are two rounds of pity for the state too, it will burden our state budget," continued Said. Said also hopes that the 2024 presidential election will take place safely, peacefully and conducively. According to the efforts made by the PDIP presidential candidate, one of them communicates with various figures and the community. "We hope that when we hold contestations, it is not good to underestimate each other, it is not good to hate each other, it is not good to discuss anger, what is true is what we do. Pak Ganjar does is try to enter public discussions, namely offers of various programs," he said. Regarding Ganjar's survey, which is still narrowly outdone by Gerindra Chairman Prabowo Subianto, Said assessed that his presidential candidate could catch up with the defense minister's acquisition.

"We are fully aware that if the head to head, Mr. Ganjar, the difference is between 5-7 percent, we can achieve that. We are not just a belief, but various opportunities allow Pak Ganjar to be able to compete healthily with Pak Prabowo Subianto," he concluded.
