Political Charter: 68.5% of Jakarta Residents Satisfied with Ahok-Djarot's Performance

The majority of Jakarta residents expressed satisfaction with the performance of the Jakarta Provincial Government under the leadership of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) and Djarot Syaiful Hidayat. According to a Charta Politika survey, 68.5 percent of respondents were satisfied with the incumbent pair's performance. Furthermore, 10.3 percent were very satisfied. Meanwhile, 26.9 percent were less satisfied, and 4.7 percent were not satisfied at all.

Jakarta Health Card (Kartu Jakarta Sehat), Jakarta Smart Card (Kartu Jakarta Pintar), and sub-district (Kelurahan) services were the three programs that most satisfied Jakarta residents. Given the high satisfaction rate with Ahok-Djarot, Charta Politika Executive Director Yunarto Wijaya stated that the pair has a high likelihood of re-election in the 2017 Regional Head Election (Pilkada). According to Yunarto, there is a linear correlation between satisfaction and the incumbent's chances of winning.

The Charta Politika survey research was conducted from January 17-24, 2017. The survey employed face-to-face interviews with 767 respondents across six administrative regions in Jakarta. The research method used was multistage random sampling with a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percent at a 95 percent confidence level. The survey is claimed to have been funded internally by Charta Politika.
