Proven performance and experience in leading the capital city were the main reasons why Jakarta residents chose the pair Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok)-Djarot Saiful Hidayat in the second round. A survey by Saiful Mujani Research & Consulting (SMRC) showed that 41 percent of residents chose the incumbent pair because of their proven performance, and 22.3 percent because of their experience. Other reasons included being firm, honest, attentive to the people, and intelligent or educated.
However, SMRC noted that Ahok-Djarot's electability was 46.9 percent. This figure is still below Anies-Sandi's, which reached 47.9 percent. The SMRC survey was conducted on 446 respondents from March 31 to April 5, 2017. This survey used a multistage random sampling method with an estimated margin of error of 4.7 percent and a confidence level of 95 percent, assuming simple random sampling.
The second round of the Jakarta gubernatorial election is scheduled for Wednesday, April 19, 2017.
