TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Several survey institutions have announced the results of their quick counts on the simultaneous 2024 Regional Elections in various regions. As a result, all pairs of candidates in the 2024 Regional Elections favored by former President Joko Widodo or Jokowi are leading except in Jakarta.

Tempo has compiled various quick count results from different pollsters such as Charta Politika, Indikator Politik, Parameter Politik, and KedaiKOPI. Candidates affiliated with Jokowi or backed by Koalisi Indonesia Maju (KIM) are leading. For example, in Central Java, North Sumatra, Banten, West Java, and East Java.

The surprise winner is the pair of Andra Soni-Dimyati Natakusumah in Banten province. Andra Soni-Dimyati won with a wide margin over her strong rival, Airin Rachmi Diany-Ade Sumardi.

This pair garnered 58.39 percent of the votes (Charta Politika) and 55.53 percent (KedaiKopi). Meanwhile, Airin-Ade lags with 41.61 percent of the vote (Charta Politika) and 44.47 percent (KedaiKOPI).

Another Jokowi favorite is Ahmad Luthfi-Taj Yasin in Central Java, leading Andika Perkasa-Hendrar Prihadi. In North Sumatra, Jokowi's son-in-law Bobby Nasution and his running mate Surya defeated PDIP-backed Edy Rahmayadi-Hasan Basri. In West Java, Gerindra cadre Dedi Mulyadi also won decisively over other pairs of candidates. Jokowi-backed candidates in East Java and South Sulawesi also emerged victorious.

The pair of Khofifah Indar Parawansa-Emil Elestianto Dardak managed to win the quick count against two other female candidates, Luluk Nur Hamidah and Tri Rismaharini. Meanwhile, Andi Sudirman Sulaiman-Fatmawati Rusdi secured a 76.35 percent victory (Indikator Politik) over the pair of Ramdhan Pomanto-Azhar Arsyad. Jokowi even called Khofifah to congratulate her.

However, Jokowi's favorites were not successful everywhere. Jakarta became a difficult battleground for Ridwan Kamil and Suswono. Most pollsters declared Pramono Anung-Rano Karno the winner with more than 50 percent of the vote. Charta Politika Indonesia showed 50.08 percent and Parameter Politik 50.17 percent for Pramono-Rano. However, Indikator Politik Indonesia showed 49.85 percent for this pair. Meanwhile, Ridwan Kamil-Suswono averaged 39 percent in these three polling institutions. Therefore, it is still unclear whether the election will be decided in one or two rounds due to the narrow margin.

Below are the quick count results of the 2024 Regional Elections conducted by several regional polling agencies.
