JAKARTA: A possible rematch between Anies Baswedan and Basuki “Ahok” Tjahja Purnama appears to be gathering steam, with the two former Jakarta governors emerging as the top-two contenders being favoured by voters in a recent opinion poll for the coming Jakarta gubernatorial race.
A survey released by pollster Indikator Politik Indonesia on Thursday (July 25) showed Anies and Ahok emerging as two of the three top-of-mind prospective candidates among respondents who were asked to name a figure they would vote for if the election were held today.
