Moreover, he explained, the popularity of Al Haris is already at a maximum of 98%, while Hariyanto’s popularity is still at 74.3% and has the potential to increase further. “Additionally, the level of public desire for Al Haris to become governor again is above 35.4% (below 50 percent). The preference for Al Haris to be re-elected as governor is 35.4%, not wanting him to return is 28.9%, and undecided is 35.8%,” clarified Hadi.

This decision is motivated by his resolve to present a different choice, presenting a new perspective and background to the citizens of Banten, beyond the long-standing dominant dynasty in the region. Arief Wismansyah’s leadership in Tangerang has been recognized for innovation in city management and inclusive infrastructure development, creating a firm groundwork to advance the province of Banten. In this context, he is resolved to advocating for social justice, sustainable growth, and balanced growth throughout Banten. Arief shared his willingness to face the challenges of the Banten Pilkada with a vision focused on positive change and progress for all segments of society. He disclosed that his decision to run was initially unintended, but the motivation from the community and his family made him reevaluate. He stated that a meeting with VP Ma’ruf Amin significantly impacted his decision to run. “I was called by Mr. Ma’ruf Amin, and we had a meeting. He asked, are you really running, Mr. Arief? If you want to run, you have to win; if you’re not sure you can win, don’t run, he said. I thought he was right. Finally, on Monday afternoon, I decided to run,” Arief said when spoken to in the Karawaci neighborhood of Tangerang City, Sunday (23/06/2024). Arief also conveyed his views on the ruling political family in Banten, noting the split in the community related to this dominance. Nevertheless, he is confident about running with famous candidates in the region. “I hope to partner with the Banten community to progress together, including with the existing dynasties,” he added. Arief stressed his readiness to work with various parties for the progress of Banten, without compromising the interests of the people. “Whatever the outcome, I hope the next leadership can offer the best for Banten,” he concluded. With this step, Arief Rachadiono Wismansyah asks the people of Banten to support a shared vision in advancing the region through the upcoming election.

The survey was conducted from 1st to 7th May 2024, with 800 participants aged at least 17 years or married. The margin of error is approximately 3.46%, with a reliability of 95%. The method used was multi-layer random sampling. Data collection was carried out through in-person interviews using a questionnaire. ICRC is a national research organization registered with the PERSEPI association and listed with the KPU RI. ICRC is managed by a former Indo Barometer Director from 2012-2022 and a team seasoned in conducting surveys in various Pilkada across Indonesia.

Forms of violence during election coverage include coverage bans (44 percent), reporting bans (41 percent), terror and intimidation (38 percent), deletion of coverage results (35 percent), threats (23 percent), and the rest in the form of digital attacks, destruction or confiscation of equipment, and physical violence .

The survey by ICRC was performed in the Jambi Province, covering 11 municipalities. ICRC Executive Director H. Suprapto Rusli clarified that the purpose of the survey was to gauge the chances of the 2024 governor candidates. The results, based on Hadi, show that the sitting governor, Al Haris, has static popularity compared to the governor hopeful, Romi Hariyanto. “The preferred governor candidates (open/spontaneous question) are Haris Al 21.9%, Romi Hariyanto 12.0%, Endra Cek 11.4%, M. Mashuri 5.5%, S. Fasha 2.9%, and so on, with 45% not knowing/not answering,” said Hadi during the release of the survey findings for the 2024 Jambi Pilkada through a press release on June 4, 2024.

This score is partly contributed by the number of violence cases experienced by journalists, both collected through a survey of 536 journalists and from cases handled by the Independent Journalists Alliance (AJI) throughout 2023.
