In 2024, Indonesia faces a pivotal year marked by a
presidential election, which has triggered significant
polarization. The election has led to societal divisions,
penetrating social and political dynamics. Differences in
presidential candidate preferences and media influence on
public sentiment are key factors contributing to this
polarization. As a social media platform, X plays a crucial role
in shaping the national conversation, 103,611 data collected
from this conversation. The study seeks to measure the level of
polarization during the Indonesian presidential election by
analyzing conversations on X. To enhance the analysis, a
polarization index quantifies the level of polarization, while
social network analysis examines the connectivity within the
discourse network among X users. Research findings show that
the presidential candidate duo Prabowo-Gibran is a central
point of polarization on X. The X community has split into two
distinct groups: a pro group engaging in positive conversations
and offering full support for the candidate duo, and an antigroup
expressing opposition through negative comments and
hate speech. While many studies have comprehensively explored
political polarization, this research focuses specifically on the
polarization surrounding one presidential candidate. The study
aims to provide insights into polarization and enable proactive
measures to prevent further escalation.
