Poll: PSI’s Electability Stands at 2.9 per Cent
An Indonesia Political Opinion (IPO) survey has found that Gerindra leads political parties in voting intention for seats in the House of Representatives (DPR RI) if an election were held today, followed by PDI-P.
The next six parties are those currently holding seats in the DPR: Golkar, PKB, Democrat, PAN, PKS and NasDem.
The Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI), which former president Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has recently joined, is one place below the lowest-ranked parliamentary party.
According to IPO’s survey, released at the weekend, Gerindra—which is led by President Prabowo Subianto as both party chairman and chair of its advisory board—recorded voting intention of 23.1 per cent.
It was followed by PDI-P at 11.6 per cent and Golkar at 10.7 per cent. The other five parliamentary parties all scored below 10 per cent.
They were PKB (6.1 per cent), Democrat (5.9 per cent), PAN (5.8 per cent), PKS (4.6 per cent) and NasDem (4.2 per cent).
PSI was one place below NasDem, with voting intention of 2.9 per cent.
It was followed by the veteran party PPP, which failed to win parliamentary seats in the current term, at 1.6 per cent.
Other parties that contested the 2024 election but failed to win seats in the DPR were Partai Gerakan Rakyat (0.9 per cent), Gelora (0.8 per cent) and Hanura (0.2 per cent).
The remaining parties that also contested the 2024 election—Perindo, Partai Ummat, Partai Buruh, PKN and Partai Garuda—each recorded 0.0 per cent.
