JAKARTA - Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani secretly has the potential to become the number one person in this republic. This was revealed from the results of a survey released by the Indonesian Political Indicators agency.

It was reported that Sri Mulyani's electability outperformed a number of well-known politicians in the country, such as the Chairperson of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Muhaimin Iskandar alias Cak Imin, Chair of the MPR Bambang Soesatyo (Bamsoet), to the Chairperson of the Golkar Party (Golkar) Airlangga Hartarto.

"If presidential elections were held now, who would you choose as president among the following names?," said the Indicator survey question that made Sri Mulyani superior to the three names, quoted on Monday, January 10.

In detail, Sri Mulyani got a score of 0.6 percent of the respondents' answers. Meanwhile, Cak Imin, Airlangga Hartarto, and Bamsoet each received 0.4 percent, 0.2 percent, and 0.1 percent, respectively.

It should be noted that this survey uses a simulation scheme of 33 semi-open names proposed to respondents.

Then, in a follow-up survey that narrowed down the names to 19 people, Sri Mulyani again led the electability of the three politicians.

It was noted that the state treasurer was the choice of 1 percent of respondents. Followed by Airlangga Hartarto with 0.9 percent, Bambang Soesatyo with 0.8 percent, and Muhaimin Iskandar with 0.6 percent.

Meanwhile, the top names for the RI Presidential candidates according to the Indicator survey are occupied by Prabowo Subianto, Ganjar Pranowo, and Anies Baswedan.

For information, the poll conducted by Indicator uses a multistage random sampling method with a total of 2,020 respondents and a margin of error of 2.9 percent in 34 provinces throughout Indonesia.
