Kompas Research and Development (Litbang Kompas) has surveyed public support for several potential gubernatorial candidates in West Java for the 2024 Regional Head Elections.
The results show Ridwan Kamil as the strongest candidate, chosen by 36.6% of respondents.
However, his electoral position and voter loyalty as the former Governor of West Java still need to be tested. Litbang Kompas mentions two factors that could weaken Emil's (his nickname) electability: the influence of political parties and the emergence of new candidates with strong electoral track records.
“The influence of political parties will be a determining factor in the gubernatorial election because the legislative election results show that not all regions are strongholds of Golkar, Kamil's main supporter,” wrote Litbang Kompas researchers in their report on Wednesday, July 17, 2024.
Ridwan Kamil's closest rival, Dedi Mulyadi, Deputy Chairman of the Gerindra Party's Supervisory Board and former Regent of Purwakarta, received 12.2% of the vote from respondents.
Other names such as Bima Arya, Atalia Praratya, Ahmad Syaikhu, Alfiansyah Komeng, Deddy Mizwar, and Desy Ratnasari garnered less than 2% support.
However, 41% of West Java respondents remain undecided about which gubernatorial candidate they will support.
This Litbang Kompas survey involved 500 randomly selected respondents using a stratified systematic sampling method in West Java Province.
Data collection was conducted from June 15-20, 2024, through face-to-face interviews. The margin of error is approximately 4.9% with a 95% confidence level, under conditions of simple random sampling.
