CIDISS. Electability for Governor and Vice Governor candidate in West Java seems very tight. based on survey results from Indicators of Indonesian Politics, Ridwan Kamil – Uu Ruzhanul Ulum get the highest electability compared to other couples, which reached about 40.9%. While the next candidate who has high electability is Deddy Mizwar – Dedi Mulyadi pair with electability of 35.6%. Subsequently followed by the pair Sudrajat – Ahmad Syaikhu with 5.3% and TB Hasanuddin – Anton Charliyan with 2.7%. From the survey results, there are 15.4% of the public who have not made a choice.
Although the results of the survey note that Ridwan – Uu has the highest electability, but the hase l is still not able to secure the position and won the election of West Java Governor 2018. This is because the difference between the vote with Deddy – Dedi is still below the number of respondents who have not determined the choice. If you want to win the Election of West Java Governor 2018, then pair Ridwan – Uu must increase the difference of voice.
In response to this, Executive Director of Indonesia Political Indicator Burhanudin Muhtadi considered that the militancy of voters and supporters was a crucial factor in the event that the candidate for Governor and Vice Governor of West Java wanted to win. The results of the survey conducted by the Indonesian Political Indicators get the results in the order of electability pairs of candidates the same as the survey results in September 2017. However, there is a difference where the electability distance between Ridwan – Uu with Deddy – Dedi increasingly smaller.
Nevertheless, despite the increasing political temperatures in the West Java Governor Election 2018, all parties expect the creation of peaceful regional head elections. Moreover, do not let the chaos that can cause conflict between supporters occur so as to make the situation of West Java is not conducive. It is expected that with the commotion that occurred during the election debate West Java regional head can be a lesson for all parties.
