The purpose of this study is to forecast the political parties and candidates running for president of Indonesia in 2024. Nvivo 12 software is used in this study's quantitative methodology for descriptive content analysis. Twitter users are the study's research subjects. The information was collected via Twitter Search, which targeted the term "Pilpres 2024." According to this analysis, Anies Baswedan, Prabowo, and Ganjar Pranowo will be the winning candidates. Political parties' geographic distribution reveals that the 2024 presidential election would see political tensions between parties with nationalist and religious ideologies.
