REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, YOGYAKARTA - The upcoming Presidential Election is predicted to have some new figures for presidential candidates. The survey of Indonesia Survey Institution (LSI) records that popular presidential candidates are not followed by quality required to become a president.
According to the survey, the ten most popular candidates only obtain 33 percent votes from Indonesians. The rest choose other names randomly.
The Executive Director of LSI, Kusridho Ambardi, said the survey generated several new names. He planned to initiate a system of opinion leader to evaluate the new names. "Several experts will evaluate the alternative candidates," he said on Sunday.
The experts must have knowledge on the track record of the candidates. He said that they could be from national entrepreneurs and media chief editor.
The evaluation is expected to guide people to choose candidate who represents the criteria. "The candidates must have integrity, capability, and accessibility," he said.
