LSI Survey: Pramono Lucky, Rano Karno Able To Dongkrak Electability

JAKARTA - The Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) released a poll on the electability of the candidate pair for Governor-Deputy Governor of Jakarta and the electability of the gubernatorial candidates without being paired with their representatives.

In the simulation of the three names of the governor candidates, Ridwan Kamil's electability ranks highest at 54 percent. Then, Pramono Anung has 20.8 percent electability, and Dharma Pongrekun 3.3 percent.

LSI Executive Director Djayadi Hanan juxtaposed the survey results if the candidates were paired with their respective Jakarta Deputy Governor candidates.

As a result, only Pramono Anung experienced an increase in electability when paired with Rano Karno. Meanwhile, RK-Suswono and Dharma-Kun experienced a slight decrease in the number of electability.

The Ridwan Kamil-Suswono pair had 51.8 percent electability, Pramono Anung-Rano Karno 28.4 percent, and Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana 3.2 percent.

"So, we can see here that there is a considerable influence from Rano Karno as the cawagub of Pramono Anung," Djayadi said in an online survey presentation, Wednesday, September 18.

This condition is interesting, according to Djayadi. Because, usually in the election contestation, regional head candidates have greater electability than their representatives.

"In the case of Pramono Anung and Rano Karno, Pramono Anung's electability was helped a lot by the name Rano Karno," said Djayadi.

This condition is also in line with the simulation of the candidates for Governor and Deputy Governor of Jakarta separately to six names. In the simulation, RK obtained electability at 44 percent.

The second highest electability per candidate was occupied by Rano Karno, which was 16 percent. Furthermore, Pramono Anung was 10.5 percent, Dharma Pongrekun was 1.5 percent, Kun Wardana was 0.5 percent, and Suswono was 0.2 percent.

For information, this survey was conducted in the period 6-12 September with a total sample of 1,200 respondents who are residents of DKI Jakarta aged over 17 years or married.

The withdrawal of respondents was obtained through a multistage random sampling technique with a margin of error of up to 2.9 percent and a confidence level of 95 percent with the assumption of simple random sampling.
