Assessed As No Breakthrough And Innovation, Public Satisfaction Survey Results On Anies 38.9 Percent

JAKARTA - The level of public satisfaction with DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan is only 38.9 percent. This is based on the results of a survey conducted by the Jakarta Research Center (JRC).

Meanwhile, their dissatisfaction reached 53.0 percent, and the rest did not / know the answer to 8.1 percent.

"This is a warning to Anies if he plans to move forward again in the DKI Jakarta Pilkada, or head for the national political stage," said Director of Communications of JRC Alfian P in a press release in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Friday, April 16.

Anies' mediocre performance is considered to have no significant breakthroughs and innovations, making most of the Jakarta public feel dissatisfied. The name Anies himself is favored to be included in various surveys for the 2024 presidential election.

However, said Alfian, the high level of public dissatisfaction during Anies' leadership of DKI Jakarta could be a stumbling block for Anies if he wants to step up to the national level.

According to Alfian, Anies' strategy to imitate Jokowi, who previously was the governor of DKI Jakarta and won the 2014 and 2019 presidential elections, cannot be copied and pasted.

For the record, Jokowi himself only served half a term in DKI Jakarta.

On the other hand, Anies will end his term of office in 2022. The uncertainty of the Pilkada schedule, whether it will be held in 2022 or postponed in 2024, has made it even more difficult for Anies to take advantage of the political scene in DKI Jakarta.

"Even if Anies intends to go forward again in the DKI Jakarta Pilkada, or to advance in the 2024 Presidential Election, there must be a tremendous breakthrough in the remaining year and a half of his administration in DKI Jakarta," said Alfian.

The Jakarta Research Center (JRC) survey was conducted from 1-10 April 2021, face to face with 800 respondents representing all areas in DKI Jakarta.

The survey method is multistage random sampling, with a margin of error of ± 3.4 percent and at a confidence level of 95 percent.
