Kompas Research and Development (Litbang Kompas) examined several candidates mentioned by East Java residents for the 2024 gubernatorial election.
Khofifah Indar Parawansa received the highest number of votes, chosen by 26.8% of respondents. The East Java Governor (2019-2024) held the top spot.
Following her was Minister of Social Affairs and former Surabaya Mayor, Tri Rismaharini, who received 13.6% of the vote.
"Practically, only these two female leaders achieved significantly high electability, exceeding 10%," wrote the Kompas Litbang researcher in their report on Friday, July 19, 2024.
Emil Dardak came in third with 3.8% electability. He has declared his intention to run again as Khofifah's deputy gubernatorial candidate in this year's election.
Other candidates included Syaifullah Yusuf, Eri Cahyadi, and Marzuki Mustamar, each with electability below 2%, as shown in the accompanying graph.
However, 51% of respondents remained undecided. Kompas Litbang attributed this to the still-fluid political situation.
"The public in East Java is waiting to see who will challenge the incumbent Khofifah-Emil ticket," wrote the Kompas Litbang researcher.
The Kompas Litbang survey involved 500 randomly selected respondents using a stratified systematic sampling method across 35 cities/regencies in East Java.
Data collection was conducted from June 20-25, 2024, through face-to-face interviews. The survey's margin of error is approximately 4.38% with a 95% confidence level, under conditions of simple random sampling.
