JAKARTA - The founder of Saiful Mujani Research and Consulting (SMRC), Saiful Mujani, said that the pair 03 Ganjar-Mahfud did not reap significant votes in all provinces. Unlike the pair 02, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran, which was successful. "If I look at the distribution of votes in Aceh to Papua, almost all provinces are won by Prabowo-Gibran. Prabowo-Gibran only lost to 01 (Anies-Cak Imin) in Aceh and then West Sumatra. Ganjar is almost unable in all provinces, except in Southeast Papua," explained Saiful in a Kompas TV talk show, Wednesday, February 14. Data on this matter was taken based on the quick calculation of SMRC, the results of which were almost the same as a number of credible survey institutions such as Litbang Kompas, LSI, Charta Politica or indicators. "We can say one round. Prabowo-Gibran has won the quick count version," explained Saiful. He added that the victory factor for Prabowo-Gibran could not be separated from Jokowi's 'hands' so far. Despite the many criticisms about the neutrality of ASN, politicization of social assistance and so on, Jokowi's effect was able to overcome this. "Criticism against Jokowi and people on campus like me doesn't seem to be quite accessible in general and voters look at Jokowi's behavior. Because it is very real. What is certain is that Pak Jokowi's program is more mainstream in general, especially the lower middle class. Criticism is not effective enough to beat Jokowi so far," he explained.

For the latest update as of 18.18 WIB, SMRC's quick count said Prabowo-Gibran's voice touched 58.3 percent. Meanwhile, Anies-Cak Imin 25.15 percent and Ganjar-Mahfud 16.56 percent. The vote sample that came in was 83.35 percent.
