JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the PAN DPP Viva Yoga Mauladi admitted that he was not surprised with the results of the Political Indicators survey which stated that his party's electability had decreased from 2 percent to 1.1 percent.

"PAN was not surprised by the survey results because from 2004 to 2020, when PAN was surveyed, its electability, yes, always ranged from 1 to 2 percent. Even though PAN has made a massive program, when the survey results were always constant," said Viva. Yoga in his statement in Jakarta, Monday, October 26.

According to him, based on a survey conducted by the institution, since the 2009 Election, PAN should not have passed the parliamentary threshold, even though the election results have been different by 500 percent.

According to him, the results of the vote acquisition and seats in the election are very different from the survey results. For example, in the 2004 General Elections, 6.44 percent of the national vote was obtained, the 2009 Election 6.01 percent, the 2014 Election 7.59 percent, and the 2019 Election 6.84 percent.

Therefore, according to Viva Yoga, there is a difference of 500 percent between predictions through survey results by survey institutions and the official election results determined by the KPU.

"It's strange, right? The results were 500 percent different when PAN was surveyed. Isn't that a survey institution not credible? Not based on scientific principles," he said.

Viva Yoga mentioned that one of the reasons the surveyors were asked why the survey results were different from the election results, they answered that the important role was the movement of the PAN candidates so that the election results were different from the survey results.

"Then, are the candidates from other political parties sleeping? He-he-he ... are they both moving to compete to find votes in electoral districts," he said.

Viva Yoga explained that his party had asked the surveyors several "strange survey results for PAN". However, they cannot provide a scientific explanation.

For this reason, according to him, whatever survey results conducted by the survey institution will still be input data for PAN to enrich information in making strategic planning for the 2024 election victory.

"PAN has regularly and periodically conducted surveys conducted by independent survey agencies to determine electability, program priorities, and other variables needed by PAN," he said.

According to him, the results of the internal survey are different from the releases conducted by several survey institutions since 2004.

Previously, Political Indicators released the results of a survey which stated that the electability of PAN fell to 1.1 percent.

This survey was conducted on 24-30 September 2020 with 1,200 randomly selected respondents, the survey method was by telephone interviews with a margin of errors of around 2.9 percent and a confidence level of 95 percent.
