SOLO - Vice Presidential Candidate for the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), Gibran Rakabuming Raka, has no problem with the results of the different presidential and vice presidential candidates' electability surveys. According to him, the results of the survey which stated that he and the presidential candidate KIM, Prabowo Subianto were superior or not, both of them became an encouragement for him to face the 2024 presidential election. "Yes, for encouragement only. The low ones make us excited again, the high ones also make us excited," he said when met by the media crew at Solo City Hall, Thursday 9 November.Regarding the diversity of survey results, President Jokowi's eldest son said that this could happen because each survey agency used different methods for data collection. "The methodology is different. There are face-to-face ones, there is a survey only for learning," he said. Solo mayor thinks that instead of relying on survey results, it would be better if you look directly at conditions in the field which according to him are more valid because they are in direct contact with the community. "If I go to the field only," he said. Previously, regarding the results of the Gibran survey said, his party invited the public who judged themselves as the presidential and vice presidential candidates. "Please residents who judge nggih (only), thank you. If only look at one survey, the name is biased," he said.

As is known, the Populi Center survey institute noted that the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair KIM, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka, was superior to the other two pairs in the 2024 presidential election. Previously, the results of the Charta Politica survey agency showed that the electability of the Prabowo-Gibran pair was still below Ganjar-Mahfud.
