These Are the Political Parties Preferred by Young People in the 2024 Election, According to Kompas Research and Development

Kompas Research and Development (Litbang Kompas) conducted a survey on young people's preferred political parties in the 2024 General Election.

The results show that Generation Z respondents (aged 17-25) predominantly favored Gerindra (21.4%), followed by PDIP (12.3%), Golkar (10.3%), PKB (8.1%), and Nasdem (7.2%).

"A similar pattern was also observed among young millennials," said Kompas Litbang researcher Andreas Yoga Prasetyo, as reported by *Kompas.id* on Saturday (2/4/2023).

Young millennial respondents (aged 26-33) largely chose Gerindra (19.9%), followed by PDIP (14.9%), Golkar (10.8%), Nasdem (8.4%), and PKB (8.1%).

Andreas stated that the pattern of young people's support for Gerindra, PDIP, and Golkar is consistent across genders.

Respondents from Generation Z and young millennials, regardless of their education level (from basic to higher education), similarly tended to support Gerindra, PDIP, and Golkar.

The same applies to socioeconomic class. Andreas noted that respondents from lower to higher socioeconomic classes tended to give more support to these three parties.

Geographically, young people's support for Gerindra, PDIP, and Golkar is relatively even.

In the Generation Z voter segment, Gerindra received dominant support in Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi, with support levels ranging from 21.1% to 23%.

PDIP was mostly supported by Generation Z in Bali-Nusa Tenggara and Maluku-Papua. Golkar was chosen by many Generation Z voters in Kalimantan and Sumatra, although the proportion of support remained below Gerindra.

Young millennial voters in Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Maluku-Papua largely chose Gerindra.

Young millennials supporting PDIP were only dominant in Bali-Nusa Tenggara, while those in Maluku-Papua predominantly chose Gerindra.

This Kompas Litbang survey involved 7,863 respondents randomly selected using a stratified systematic sampling method across 38 Indonesian provinces. The survey was conducted from February 14, 2024, through face-to-face interviews.

The survey's margin of error is approximately 1.11% with a 95% confidence level, under conditions of simple random sampling.
