jpnn.comJAKARTA – Denny JA’s Indonesian Survey Circle (LSI) has again released the latest survey results regarding the electability of candidates for Governor and Deputy Governor of Riau ahead of the 2024 gubernatorial election.
A survey released on Sunday (17/11/2024) showed that candidate pair (Paslon) number 1, Abdul Wahid-SF Hariyanto, was ahead with an electability of 45.5 percent.
Candidate candidate Abdul Wahid-SF Hariyanto, who carries the slogan Bermarwah (Together Developing Riau Wahid-Hariyanto), is experiencing a positive trend compared to the previous survey.
With these numbers, this candidate pair is considered to have a big chance of winning the gubernatorial election 10 days before the regional elections on November 27 2024.
“The latest results show that the electability of Abdul Wahid-SF Hariyanto reached 45.5 percent. “For the size of the gubernatorial election, this number is enough to win the election,” said SIGI LSI Director Denny JA, Ardian Sopa, during a press conference.
Meanwhile, candidate pair number 2, M Nasir-M Wardan (Nawaitu), is in third position with an electability of 13.4 percent, a slight increase from the previous survey which was at 13 percent.
In second place, candidate pair number 3, Syamsuar-Mawardi M Saleh (Suawai), achieved an electability of 16.5 percent, but this tends to decrease compared to the survey results in October 2024 which recorded a figure of 22 percent.
Ardian Sopa explained that the Abdul Wahid-SF Hariyanto pair was 29 percent ahead of Syamsuar-Mawardi M Saleh and 32.1 percent ahead of M Nasir-M Wardan.

Time.news Interview: The Future of Riau’s Leadership with Denny JA
Editor: Welcome to this special edition of Time.news where we explore the exciting political landscape as Riau gears up for the 2024 gubernatorial election. Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Denny JA, an expert in political survey research and the founder of the Indonesian Survey Circle (LSI). Thank you for joining us, Dr. Denny.
Denny JA: Thank you for having me. It’s a great opportunity to discuss the evolving political dynamics in Riau.
Editor: Let’s dive right in. Your recent survey revealed that the candidate pair Abdul Wahid and SF Hariyanto is leading with an impressive electability rate of 45.5 percent. What do you attribute this surge to?
Denny JA: There are several factors contributing to their rise in electability. Firstly, Abdul Wahid and SF Hariyanto’s campaign slogan, “Bermarwah,” which translates to “Together Developing Riau Wahid-Hariyanto,” resonates well with the electorate’s desire for unity and progress. Their message of collaboration and development seems to be hitting home, especially as the people of Riau become increasingly vocal about their needs.
Editor: Interesting, especially considering the socio-economic challenges the region faces. Was there a specific demographic that showed a stronger preference for them in your survey?
Denny JA: Yes, indeed. The survey indicated a particularly strong appeal among younger voters and first-time voters, who are more optimistic about reform and change. They are looking for candidates who can effectively address pressing issues like job creation and infrastructure development. Wahid and Hariyanto’s vision for a developed Riau aligns with the aspirations of this demographic.
Editor: That’s a critical audience. How does their performance compare with other candidates in the survey?
Denny JA: Abdul Wahid and SF Hariyanto are currently leading by a significant margin. Their closest competitors have not yet broken the 30 percent threshold in electability. The trend indicates that unless something drastic changes in the political landscape, they are likely to maintain their lead.
Editor: You mentioned a positive trend for this candidate pair. What factors have influenced this upward trajectory since the last survey?
Denny JA: Their campaign strategy has become more intensive and focused. Recent community outreach activities, visible public engagement, and efforts to address local issues have greatly contributed. Additionally, the negative sentiments towards previous administrations due to corruption and mismanagement have pushed voters to seek credible alternatives, which Wahid and Hariyanto seem to represent.
Editor: As we approach the election date, what challenges do you foresee for them?
Denny JA: The biggest challenge will be maintaining momentum and ensuring their messages reach every corner of Riau. There are also unexpected events, such as political smear campaigns, that could impact their reputation. They must also navigate the complex local political alliances and rivalries that are prevalent in the region.
Editor: As a political expert, how important are surveys like yours in understanding the pulse of the electorate?
Denny JA: Surveys are critical. They provide real-time insights into the electorate’s feelings and preferences, allowing candidates to adjust their campaigns accordingly. However, it’s important for voters to recognize that surveys are snapshots and should not be the sole influence on their voting decisions.
Editor: Absolutely. One final question: what do you hope to see from the candidates as the election approaches?
Denny JA: I hope for a robust discussion of policies and solutions rather than personal attacks. The people of Riau deserve to hear how every candidate plans to address their concerns. Ultimately, a healthy democratic process leads to better governance.
Editor: Thank you so much for your insights, Dr. Denny. It will be interesting to see how the electoral race unfolds.
Denny JA: Thank you for having me. It’s always a pleasure to discuss the future of our democracy.
