JAKARTA - The results of research by the Political Weather Station (PWS) show that the public views the Minister of Defense (Menhan) Prabowo Subianto as an assistant to President Joko Widodo with the best performance in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet.

"First of all, Defense Minister Prabowo is ahead by 15.1 percent," said PWS Research Director Mohammad Tidzi AM in the presentation of his survey results received in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Friday, February 4.

Furthermore, the second place in the poll was Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno with a survey result of 14.5 percent followed by Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati with a percentage of 13.5.

Then, Minister of Education, Culture, Research and Technology, Nadiem Makarim with survey results at 11.1 percent, Minister of BUMN Erick Thohir 7.8 percent, and Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini 7.8 percent.

The next position is occupied by the TNI Commander General Andika Perkasa with 5.6 percent, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi 4.5 percent, Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Basuki Hadimulyono 4.5 percent, Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko 4.3 percent, and Minister of Home Affairs Tito's country of Karnavian 2.5 percent.

Tidzi believes that Prabowo's name often appears as the best minister in various survey results by a number of surveyors because he has strong grass roots. In essence, the respondent when asked about this matter immediately answered it.

"Most of our people in the field when asked (the question who) is the best minister, (directly answer) Prabowo," he said.

According to him, this was related to the momentum of the last presidential election, so it had its own strength and this was proven in the results of several surveys.

In general, the PWS research institute survey was carried out in 34 provinces throughout Indonesia involving 1,421 respondents who are Indonesian citizens and have the right to vote during 13-23 January 2022. Respondents were selected through a random sampling technique in stages.
