JAKARTA - The results of a recent survey from the Indonesian Survey Institute show that the former Deputy Governor of North Sumatra Musa Rajekshah (Ijeck) has the highest electability as a candidate for deputy governor of North Sumatra with 37.9 percent.

"What is considered the best candidate for deputy according to the people of North Sumatra is ijeck. Ijeck, who has served as deputy governor and has been the governor's official, if I'm not mistaken, while others are still quite far apart from Ijeck," said LSI Executive Director Djayadi Hanan when describing the release of the survey online monitored in Jakarta, Sunday.
