Ahok Losing Ground

Indikator Politik's (Political Indicator) survey conducted from November 15 to 20 shows Basuki Tjahaja Purnama's (Ahok) electability and popularity declining significantly. In May, Ahok's popularity was still at 38 percent. Now, according to the survey, his popularity has taken a tumble to 19.4 percent. Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono is currently leading, while Anies Baswedan, who occupies third place, trails the incumbent with a two-percent gap.

Ahok's indictment for blasphemy has seriously affected his electability. According to the survey, although respondents are satisfied with his performance as governor, some might still choose to vote for Agus or Anies. This was also reflected in last week's Tempo.co poll.
