JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The electability of political parties as shown by the results of the latest Kompas Research and Development survey is still dynamic. A number of parties are designing competitive strategies to boost favorability while converting it into electability. Real public work and partisanship are the ways to make voters choose a party.

Referring to the Kompas Research and Development survey of electability taken from 29 April to 10 May 2023, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) is still in the lead, with 23.3 percent, a slight increase (0.4 percent) on the January 2023 survey. Next is Gerindra, which rose from 14.3 percent to 18.6 percent, followed by the Democratic Party, the Golkar Party and NasDem.
