Social Minister Tri Rismaharini is running as a prospective gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 East Java Regional Elections, supported by the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) and the Hanura Party.
According to a Kompas Research and Development (Litbang) survey, Risma, as she is popularly known, enjoys a fairly positive image among the public.
A majority, or 44.6%, of respondents in East Java consider Risma's main strength to be her performance or experience in leadership.
"During her two terms as Mayor of Surabaya (2010-2020), Risma demonstrated tangible changes in the city as a result of her leadership," stated the Kompas Litbang team in their report on Friday, August 30, 2024.
Furthermore, Risma's down-to-earth and authoritative character is considered an asset by 39.9% of respondents. This is followed by her decisive or courageous nature, which was cited as a positive attribute by 2.2% of respondents.
Some respondents also viewed Risma's strengths based on her identity as a local daughter, her kindness, and honesty, each with a proportion of 0.6%.
Meanwhile, 10.9% of respondents did not know or did not answer regarding the former Surabaya Mayor's strengths.
This Kompas Litbang survey involved 500 respondents randomly selected using a stratified systematic sampling method in East Java province.
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.
