IO – Indonesia Survey Center (ISC) has revealed that 22.7% of 1,520 respondents said they would vote for Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto in the 2024 presidential election. Of the fgure mentioned, 10.9% stated they voted for President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo in the 2019 presidential election.
A senior researcher from ISC, Chairul Ansari, observed that this has partially resulted from MoD Prabowo’s decision to take up the Defense Minister position offered by Jokowi.
“What is quite surprising in the survey is that Jokowi’s 2019 voters have started to fall for Prabowo, who was a political rival in the 2014 and 2019 elections,” said Chairul at a press conference, Sunday (11/14).
Chairul said MoD Prabowo’s decision was perceived as his effort to “bury the political hatchet” and normalize 2014 and 2019 political polarization. Thus, MoD Prabowo, who is also Gerindra Party Chairman, has been commended by Jokowi’s supporters. “Prabowo’s democratic stance
deserves the support of Jokowi’s supporters,” said Chairul.
