JAKARTA - Various survey institutions have issued electability for all pairs of Candidates for Governor and Deputy Governor (Cagub-Cawagub) Jakarta. As a result, Ridwan Kamil-Suswono has the opportunity to win the Regional Head Election (Pilkada) contest in one round.

The opportunity refers to the results of the Indonesian Poltracking survey which showed the number one candidate pair received 51.6 percent. Meanwhile, the other pair, Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana, received 3.9 percent and Pramono Anung-Rano Karno 36.4 percent.

Then, the results of a survey from the Katadata Insight Center (KIC) conducted September 4-9, 2024. Ridwan Kamil-Suswono still leads with the highest electability of 48.4 percent.

In second place, the Pramono-Rano pair got 22.1 percent and finally Dharma-Kun only won 2.1 percent of the votes.

The results of the Indonesian Political Opinion (IPO) electability survey which was held from September 21 to 27 also showed that the Ridwan Kamil-Suswono pair were in the top position with support of 52.6 percent. Pramono-Rano received 27.1 percent of the vote, while Dharma-Kun was in third position with 2.7 percent.

But not all survey institutions showed the dominance of Ridwan Kamil-Suswono. This is because the Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) submitted data that the Pramono Anung-Rano Karno pair won 41.6 percent, while Ridwan Kamil-Suswono only got 37.4 percent.

The data is the result of a survey conducted in the 10-17 October 2024 period.

Regarding this, Ridwan Kamil-Suswono's spokesman, Muhammad Kholid, said the results of the latest survey released by a number of survey institutions reflected the dynamics and complexity in general elections in Jakarta.

"These results show that the Ridwan Kamil-Suswono pair continues to show impressive performance in various surveys, with a solid and positive percentage of electability," said Kholid in his statement, Saturday, October 26.

However, the Ridwan Kamil-Suswono pair will continue to pay attention to data regarding that there are still a dozen percent of respondents who have not made a choice. Thus, the electability of each pair of candidates can still change.

"Therefore, our focus remains on delivering clear vision and mission, as well as concrete programs that are able to answer the needs of the community," he said.

On the other hand, Ridwan Kamil-Suswono's couple is said to really appreciate the trust that has been given and are committed to continuing to work hard in the field

The number one candidate pair camp will maximize this trust at every opportunity, to reach wider voters and prove that Ridwan Kamil-Suswono is the best choice as Jakarta's leader in the future.

"We are increasingly confident that one round in the Jakarta Pilkada will be wide open," said Kholid.
