Kompas Research and Development (Litbang Kompas) conducted a survey on factors considered by Jakarta residents in choosing regional heads (Pilkada).
The results show that the majority, or 75.3% of respondents, considered choosing a candidate of the same religion.
Furthermore, 74.8% of respondents considered the candidate's supporting political party.
"Religion and the supporting political party are the most dominant factors considered by Jakarta respondents in choosing a regional head," stated the Litbang Kompas team in their report on Tuesday (July 16, 2024).
Some respondents also chose regional heads based on endorsements from prominent figures.
66.5% of respondents considered candidates endorsed by President-elect Prabowo Subianto.
Then, 65% considered candidates endorsed by Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok), 63.5% considered those endorsed by Anies Baswedan, 61% considered those endorsed by President Joko Widodo, and 43.5% considered those endorsed by Megawati Soekarnoputri.
Other considerations included choosing incumbent candidates, candidates with familial ties to prominent figures, or those offering goods/money, as shown in the graph.
This Litbang Kompas survey involved 400 randomly selected respondents using a stratified systematic sampling method in Jakarta.
Data collection was conducted from June 15-20, 2024, through face-to-face interviews. The survey's margin of error is approximately 4.9%, with a 95% confidence level under simple random sampling conditions.
