Findings from the Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) reveal that the recognition rate of former North Sumatra Governor Edy Rahmayadi reaches 90.9%. This proportion is the highest among all figures in the running for the North Sumatra gubernatorial election in 2024.
However, of those who recognize Edy, only 68.4% expressed liking him.
In contrast, Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution's existence is known to 88.4% of respondents. However, the liking rate for President Joko Widodo's son-in-law reaches 88.4%.
This means Bobby is more favored by North Sumatra residents but less popular than Edy Rahmayadi. LSI Director Djayadi Hanan stated that although both are already quite popular, their acceptance rates differ.
"Why is Bobby currently more advantageous? Looking at these figures, it's because Bobby's acceptance rate is higher than Edy Rahmayadi's," said Djayadi while presenting the survey results online on Sunday (28/7/2024), as reported by *Antaranews*.
Musa Rajekshah, or Ijeck, is known to 72.6% of respondents. The liking rate for Ijeck also surpasses Edy Rahmayadi, at 84.8%.
