english.jpnn.com, JAKARTA - The Millennial Society Research Institute (LPMM) has conducted a survey of a number of potential political parties and leaders for the 2024 presidential election.

In the survey, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs and Golkar Party chairman Airlangga Hartarto received the highest vote above other figures from millennial voters.

In addition, Airlangga's leadership in Golkar has also brought the Golkar Party to become the second most popular political party for millennials.

LPMM chief executive Andrian Indra said Airlangga had the highest electability rate with 18.2 percent of votes from Z and Y generations.

In second place is Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo with 18.1 percent of votes. He is followed by Gerindra Party chairman Prabowo Subianto, who gains 12.1 percent of votes.

"Interestingly, [former Indonesian Military commander] Gatot Nurmantyo receives 6.4 percent of votes from Z and Y generations," Andrian said in a press release on Thursday (21/10).
