Losing To Pramono-Rano, PKS Calls Ridwan Kamil-Suswono Survey Stable Not Sloping

JAKARTA - PKS DPP chairman Mardani Ali Sera responded to the latest survey results by several survey institutions that placed pair number 01, Ridwan Kamil-Suswono lost to pair number 03, Pramono Anung-Rano Karno. Mardani said the Ridwan Kamil-Suswono survey was only stable, not slumping.

"Actually, it doesn't sag, it's still stable, but there is something to do at the TPS," said Mardani at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, November 5.

Mardani is still optimistic that the RIDO pair will win the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. However, he said, the winning team must focus on moving on election day on 27 November.

"The strategy now focuses on TPS. God willing, the PKS movement at TPS will soon develop tremendously," said the Jakarta electoral district legislator.

Mardani is also not worried about the electability of the RIDO pair being overtaken by Pramono-Rano. Because according to him, Anies Baswedan's supporters are still swing voters.

"It's not (worry about being overtaken, ed) it's still 23 percent undecident. And Abah's (anies' supporters) still have not made a choice and that's the basis for us to just look at it," said Mardani.

Mardani also believes that Anies supporters will choose Ridwan Kamil-Suswono. Because the voter base of PKS and Anies is the same.

"Yes, because the child is a good child and the PKS is close," he concluded.
