JAKARTA - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo refuses to talk about the survey results which show a high level of electability or electability. According to him, this kind of result is issued by a survey agency and cannot be a determinant of party policy.

Ganjar emphasized that all decisions related to parties will be taken by the General Chairperson of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri in accordance with the mandate of the congress in 2019.

"Surveys are a job carried out by surveyors and pollsters. Leave it alone. If the party's decision is the result of the congress at Mrs Mega," Ganjar told reporters at the PDIP DPP Party School, Lenteng Agung, Jakarta, Wednesday, June 22.

He ensured that whatever Megawati's decision as general chairman would be, he would obey it. Because, all cadres are asked to move in one direction that has been decided.

"Everyone must have been asked to stick to one decision, Mrs. Mega.

The PDIP cadre also ensures that he is not big-headed even though his name continues to be called electability. This is because the results of such a survey cannot be an absolute determination.

"It's normal. Entering the GR survey (gede rasa). It's not in PDIP GR, GR's," he said with a smile.

"The survey is not the only one that is used. If the survey used in 2013 can't be recommended (as Governor of Central Java, ed)," added Ganjar.

As previously reported, Ganjar's name is often at the top level in a number of survey results. The latest, from the results of the Compass Research and Development, the Governor of Central Java has experienced an increase in recent times.

Based on the survey, Ganjar's electability was at 22 percent from 20.5 percent in January 2022. The latest Kompas Research and Development survey was held from 26 May to 4 June 2022.

The survey results show Ganjar increasingly sticking to Prabowo Subianto, who has an electability of 25.3 percent.

Prabowo's electability is known to have decreased from the previous 26.5 percent. Compass Research and Development said Ganjar is a figure whose electability has consistently increased since the first survey was conducted in October 2019.

At the beginning of the survey, Ganjar's electability was only 1.8 percent, far behind Prabowo (14.7 percent).

However, the electability of the PDI-P politician continues to increase every time the survey is held, namely in August 2020 (5.4 percent), January 2021 (7.1 percent), and April 2021 (7.3 percent).
