JAKARTA - Chairman of the PDIP faction at the House of Representatives (DPRD), Gembong Warsono, considers that the results of the Median survey do not match the facts. In the survey, Anies Baswedan received the highest electability in the upcoming Jakarta Governor candidate market.

"For the PDIP faction in seeing this, it actually does not match the facts. It contradicts the results of the work done during Anies' tenure", said Gembong when contacted, Tuesday, February 16.

According to Gembong, Anies' performance results during his tenure since 2017 have not been optimal. Many of his campaign promises have yet to be realized.

For example, the IDR 0 installment of the homeownership program. It was recorded that in November 2020, IDR 0 installment of houses were received by 514 families. In fact, Anies is targeting 232.214 houses until 2022.

"A program that should be on the priority scale of Anies, for example, the IDR 0 installment program that did arise from Anies' idea, has that been realized? Until today it has not been realized", said Gembong.

Not to mention the program of producing 250 thousand entrepreneurs in OK OCE which stagnated after Sandiaga Uno's legacy from his post as Deputy Governor of DKI.

"This should have created extraordinary employment opportunities, right? But is OK OCE running? This program may be far from the expected target", he said.

As previously reported, the Media Survey Indonesia (Median) released the results of a survey entitled 'Tight Competition for the Chair of the Governor of DKI Jakarta'.

Although it is not known that the DKI Jakarta regional head election will be held in 2022 or 2024, the electability of DKI Jakarta Governor, Anies Baswedan has not been overtaken by the former Surabaya Mayor who is now Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini.

The Median survey was conducted from January 31 to February 3 with 400 respondents who are DKI Jakarta residents who have the right to vote. The survey was conducted with a margin of error of less than 4.9 percent with a confidence level of 95 percent and the sample was selected using multistage random sampling and proportional to the population.

"In head to head terms, Anies Baswedan's electability is at 45 percent versus Tri Rismaharini's, which is at 36 percent. The difference is nine percent", said Median Research Director Ade Irfan Abdurahman when presenting the survey results, Monday, February 15.
