Elektabilitas Terus Meningkat, Erick Thohir Dinilai Mampu Melengkapi Ganjar Dan Prabowo #Sindonews

In the fast-paced world of politics, the dynamics of elektabilitas (electability) can drastically shift within a blink of an eye. This rings especially true in Indonesia as the highly anticipated Presidential Election of 2024 quickly approaches. One influential survey institution, Lembaga Survei Poltracking Indonesia, has recently released its findings on the current state of elektabilitas for potential candidates.

A Shifting Landscape: Who's Leading the Pack?

According to the survey conducted from April 9th to April 15th, 2023, involving a simulation with three potential candidates, it is Prabowo Subianto who finds himself at the pinnacle of popularity, securing a whopping 33%. Hot on his heels is Prabowo Ganjar Pranowo, closely trailing at 31.1%. Not far behind, Anis Baswedan stands at 22.4%, making for a fierce competition.

The Rise of Prabowo Subianto: From Strength to Strength

Brain Wasistorahardjo, a respected political observer, suggests that Prabowo Subianto's surge in popularity can be attributed to the absence of negative issues surrounding him and his commendable track record within the Jokowi administration's cabinet. This combination has undoubtedly played a crucial role in boosting his elektabilitas. With a majority of respondents acknowledging the President's satisfactory performance, it is not surprising to witness Prabowo's ascent.

The Cawapres Conundrum: Erick Thohir Takes the Lead

While the Presidential candidate's popularity is soaring high, one cannot overlook the significance of their respective running mate. Lembaga Survei Poltracking Indonesia has also conducted a separate survey on the elektabilitas of potential Vice Presidential candidates. At the top of the list sits Erick Thohir, commanding an impressive 17.1%. Following closely behind is Sandiaga Uno, with 15.5%, and in third position is Ridwan Kamil with 13.5%.

Wasistorahardjo asserts that Erick Thohir's growing popularity is a result of his accomplishments and contributions during his tenure as a Presidential aide, particularly amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the revitalization of the economy through state-owned enterprises (BUMN). Based on simulation data compiled by Poltracking, Wasistorahardjo highlights that Thohir possesses the qualities necessary to complement both Ganjar and Prabowo in their presidential aspirations. Furthermore, Thohir is viewed as a trusted figure, capable of garnering support from crucial voter segments such as swing voters, voucher recipients, and those residing in regions yet to identify their preferred Presidential candidate.
