JAKARTA - Member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the Golkar faction, Nurdin Halid, assessed that the Indonesian Poltracking survey agency prioritized honesty and objectivity in data processing even though it was against clients.

According to the former Candidate for Governor of South Sulawesi (Sulsel) Poltracking Indonesia, he is honest in providing data.

"I talked to Hanta Yuda (Indonesian Poltracking Executive Director), it's a reality that I experienced that she didn't help me, it wasn't because of an order, not because of an order," Nurdin said in an interview at a television station in Jakarta, quoted in a press statement, Tuesday, November 12.

Nurdin as one of the former clients said that Poltracking Indonesia has long been known as a survey agency that upholds ethics and professionalism. Nurdin testified that Poltracking was a reliable survey data provider.

He then revealed how Hanta Yuda prefers to provide "phit" data as objective, rather than "managed" data but not according to reality.

"'Pak Nurdin took part in the gubernatorial election, if I make it good then the team works as is the end of losing for what? It's better if I want to help be better bitter so that hard work ends up happy'. That means that he has high objectivity," said Nurdin imitating Hanta Yuda's words.

Nurdin emphasized that the high objectivity shown by Poltracking is very important in the process of making political decisions.

Accurate data, although sometimes unpleasant, he said, actually helps campaign teams to work harder and more effectively.

According to Nurdin, a firm stance against orders and interventions shows the important role of survey institutions in presenting an overview of public preferences.

The honesty and objectivity of Poltracking not only benefits clients in the long term, but also strengthens public confidence in the democratic process.
