The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) was the strongest political party on the island of Sumatra in the 2019 DPR General Election.

Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in that election, the PDIP garnered approximately 4.1 million votes from all provinces on the island of Sumatra.

At that time, the province on the island of Sumatra that contributed the most votes to the PDIP was North Sumatra.

However, the PDIP did not win overwhelmingly across Sumatra. They only won in North Sumatra, Lampung, Bangka Belitung Islands, and Bengkulu.

Meanwhile, South Sumatra, Jambi, and Riau Islands were dominated by Golkar. Riau and West Sumatra were dominated by Gerindra, while Aceh was dominated by the Democratic Party.

Cumulatively, votes from Sumatra only contributed approximately 15% to the PDIP's total national vote in the last election.

Here is a breakdown of the 5 parties that received the most votes in Sumatra, along with their contribution level to each party in the 2019 DPR General Election:

1. PDIP: 4.1 million votes from Sumatra (contributing 15% to their total national vote)
2. Gerindra: 3.9 million votes (22% contribution)
3. Golkar: 3.7 million votes (22% contribution)
4. Nasdem: 2.8 million votes (22% contribution)
5. Democrat: 2.7 million votes (25% contribution)

Sumatra will be the second largest political battleground in the 2024 General Election, after Java.

According to the Permanent Voter List (DPT) that has been officially announced by the General Elections Commission (KPU), the number of voters in Sumatra has now reached 43 million people.

This figure is equivalent to 21% of the total national voters in the 2024 General Election, which totals 204.8 million people.
