In the survey details, Erick Thohir obtained a result of 15.1 percent. This position surpassed other candidates such as former Governor of West Java Ridwan Kamil with a result of 14.2 percent, and Democratic Party Chairman Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) with 9.8 percent.

While Mahfud MD is in fourth position with a result of 8.8 percent. Just below him is Gibran Rakabuming with a result of 8.6 percent.

The following is also supported by the opinions of several experts and political observers. As conveyed by Political Observer and Professor at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Airlangga University, Prof. Dr. Hotman Siahaan, he said that the Chairman of PSSI has a large support base from the younger generation.

"If Erick Thohir becomes Vice President, his supporters, especially the youth, are significant. Their voices are quite significant."
According to Prof Hotman, Friday 15 September 2023.

According to him, Erick has successfully captured the attention of the younger generation through his success as the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) as well as the Chairman of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI). In fact, he has been described as one of the most trusted ministers by the president. As the Chairman of the Islamic Economic Society (MES), he has many programs that have successfully helped the younger generation. These include the Indonesia Digital Tribe event, Santripreneur, Pesantrenpreneur, Santri Internship, Merah Putih Fund, BSI Entrepreneur Talent, and State-Owned Enterprises Scholarship. Meanwhile, in the realm of PSSI, Erick continues to empower young Indonesian football players to have a high level of experience on the international stage.

According to Prof. Hotman, with the support of the millennial generation group, this former President of Inter Milan has a great potential to win the 2024 Presidential Election. "The capital possessed by Erick Thohir is his successful performance which is considered competent, especially his achievements," concluded Prof. Hotman.

Opportunity for Mahfud MD to become Vice Presidential Candidate

"On the other hand, although in a previous survey mentioned that Mahfud MD is below Ridwan Kamil and AHY. However, some political observers believe that Mahfud has a greater chance of becoming a vice presidential candidate accompanying Ganjar Pranowo."

"I assess that Mahfud has a higher chance of becoming a potential vice presidential candidate accompanying Ganjar, while Ridwan Kamil has a smaller chance."
words Executive Director of Indonesia Political Review, Ujang Komaruddin.

quoted from Liputan6.com.

According to him, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs has a greater chance of accompanying Ganjar because he has several advantages. Among them are being liked by millennials, coming from Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), being the Chairman of the National Assembly of KAHMI, and being close to the Chairwoman of the Central Executive Board of PDI Perjuangan, Megawati Soekarnoputri.

In addition, Ujang believes that Mahfud, with several advantages, can fill Ganjar's shortcomings in the 2024 Presidential Election contest. However, according to him, to increase electability, it needs to be objectively assessed, as it has not been declared yet, so it cannot be measured.

"Who doesn't know Mahfud, coming from the NU community and young voters already know. However, whether it can increase Ganjar's electability, that needs to be seen objectively because it has not been declared so its impact is not yet known,""
word Ujang.

quoted from Liputan6.com.

Meanwhile, Ujang explained that the chances of RK are smaller because the Golkar Party has firmly stated that the former Governor of West Java is not the figure proposed as vice president candidate by the party.

"That means narrowing the space for RK to become a potential vice presidential candidate accompanying Ganjar. It is clear that RK is being prepared by Golkar for the regional elections in West Java or DKI Jakarta."
"He said."
