Presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo said there was no need to panic in response to the survey results which stated that there was an increase in voters who had not voted for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates (undecided votes).

"I also got ideas from other parapollsters. They said 'it's started last but undecided votermallah it went up. What's going on?' Now these are stories that I think are okay, I said don't have to panic," said Ganjar in an exclusive interview with ANTARA, Wednesday, December 13.

Ganjar said the increase in the prospective voter should be a whip for his party to be more aggressive in going to the community and convincing the public to vote.

"We use it as a reflection, and we have to go down to the people to talk to the people in more detail. That's shaking," he said.

He also has no problem with the survey, according to him, later there will be other surveys that will be compared.

"So we just accept from all the existing police and surely later there will be other police to be able to compare," he said.

Kompas Research and Development in the results of its latest survey, which was broadcast in Jakarta, Monday (11/12), showed that the electability rate of the presidential candidate pair (candidate) - vice presidential candidate (cawapres) number 2, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka, was superior with 39.3 percent of the votes from the total 1,364 respondents interviewed.

In second place, there is candidate pair number 1 Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar who gets 16.7 percent of the votes, and candidate pair number 3 Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud Md occupies the lowest position at 15.3 percent.

Meanwhile, the number of respondents to the Kompas R&D survey who have not made a choice (the prospective voter) reached 28.7 percent, higher than the acquisition of two pairs of presidential and vice-presidential candidates.
