Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) was the best-known candidate among Jakarta residents in the 2017 DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election. According to a Poltracking survey, Ahok's popularity reached 93.75 percent. Unfortunately, Ahok's popularity wasn't matched by the level of public approval for the inactive DKI Governor. Only 63.88 percent of respondents expressed liking him.
Anies Baswedan was the most favored candidate among residents. 82 percent of respondents liked the gubernatorial candidate with number 3 on the ballot. According to Hanta Yuda, Executive Director of Poltracking, the trend of public acceptance (likeability) changed significantly after the first DKI Jakarta gubernatorial debate.
This Poltracking survey was conducted from January 24-29, 2017, involving 800 respondents. A stratified multistage random sampling method was used, with a margin of error of approximately 3.46 percent at a 95 percent confidence level.
