Political communication observer at Esa Unggul University, Jamiluddin Ritonga, assessed that the pair number 03, Pramono Anung-Rano Karno, had difficulty winning one round in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

The reason is, according to Jamiluddin, Pramono-Rano's advantage over Paslon number 01, Ridwan Kamil-Suswono in the latest LSI survey is very thin.

"The results of the LSI survey gave high hopes for the Pramono-Rano pair to win the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. With an electability of 41.6 percent, Pramono-Rano narrowly won over Ridwan-Suswono (37.4 percent). (But) This thin advantage cannot be used as a reference for the Pramono-Rano pair to win one round," said Jamiluddin in Jakarta, Thursday, October 24.

Moreover, continued Jamiluddin, the margin of error in LSI research was 2.9 percent. Meanwhile, Pramono-Rano and Ridwan-Suswono's electability is relatively balanced.

"So, if you look at the results of the survey with a margin of error of 2.9 percent, the electability of the Pramono-Rano and Ridwan-Suswono pairs is actually relatively balanced. Therefore, the results of the LSI survey are not sufficient as a basis to state that the Pramono-Rano or Ridwan-Suswono pairs will win one round," explained Jamiluddin.

In fact, according to Jamiluddin, the survey results indicate that the Pramono-Rano and Ridwan-Suswono pairs still have the same opportunity to win. But whoever wins, he said, it will be difficult if it is passed in just one round.

Because, Jamiluddin added, the electability of the two couples until voting day on November 27, 2024, does not seem much different.

"However, among the two pairs of candidates, it is hoped that no one will be able to reach 50 plus 1. Therefore, the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election seems to take place in two rounds," said Jamiluddin.

"In the second round, Ridwan-Suswono will face each other with Pramono-Rano. Who will be the winner in the second round, it seems that it is still difficult to predict," he concluded.

It is known that the electability of the candidate pair for Governor-Deputy Governor of Jakarta Pramono Anung-Rano Karno finally overtook Ridwan Kamil-Suswono in the survey results of the Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI).

In the LSI survey, Pramono-Rano's electability was recorded at 41.6 percent, then Ridwan Kamil-Suswono 37.4 percent, and Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana 6.6 percent.

Seeing this condition, Rano said he was optimistic that his electability would continue to increase until the voting day on 27 November.

"This is our motivation. Now we have 41 (percent) which means we still have a month. A month, you can't think it's above 50 percent, right? The requirements are 50 (percent) plus 1. Well, that's all, it's just a matter of hard work. us here, lah," Rano told reporters, Thursday, October 24.

According to Rano, the Jakarta Pilkada which only runs one round with the results of one candidate winning the 50 percent + 1 election is better. This is because this will accelerate the inauguration of the Governors and Deputy Governors, so that they can immediately work.

"Jakarta does not have to lose its government for long, so that it can collaborate with the central government. (Inauguration) the president, minister, already. It remains only for the governor to work. That means he must immediately serve the community," explained Rano.
