Mamuju Regional Election Arena Duel Maut Habsi Sutinah

From the Grand Hotel Mulia Jakarta, 9 December 2019, research activists from the Indonesian Voice Network (JSI) sent a study calling the highest Habsi Wahid electability rate in Mamuju with 49.1 percent. But JSI also captured data on the presence of a figure who followed behind Habsi, namely the former Head of the Mamuju Trade Office (Disdag), Sitti Sutinah Suhardi.

"Based on the data we found, he (Sutinah) is the most potential candidate after Habsi Wahid," Popon Lingga Geni, JSI Deputy Director, said by telephone on Sulbarkita.com, Tuesday, February 4, 2020.

In the survey, Sutinah ranked second with a 15.2 percent electability. Other candidates are far below the son of the former Mamuju Regent in two periods of Suhardi Grief. "But this survey will not change much in the future, unless there is massive mobilization from challengers to the Habsi or political tsunami due to legal events," said the former supervisor of the Indonesian Survey Circle (LSI).

Sutinah's electability that followed behind Habsi gave rise to predictions that the Mamuju Pilkada was only an arena for the duels of the two figures. Irwan Satya Putra Pababari, who returned to accompany Habsi in the Mamuju Pilkada, did not dismiss it. "It is possible that this will happen, but we are not concerned about the number of candidates," said Irwan in his office, Jalan Cut Nyak Dien, Karema Village, Mamuju District, Wednesday, February 4, 2020.

Irwan said, the presence of Sutinah, who incidentally was Suhardi's son of Grief, also would not make him and Habsi tremble. Because he was sure that Suhardi Duka's achievements in leading Mamuju could not be passed down to anyone. "I personally really appreciate his achievements during his tenure. But achievement is individual in nature that cannot be labeled by anyone. Supposing I put the piggy bank in the mosque, the one who got the charity was me, not my child, "he said.

Nevertheless, Irwan claimed to continue to monitor the results of his internal survey. "Until January 2020 the results, thank God, were very good, significant," he said.

Maangkasis Amin, a political consultant at Sutinah, claims that there has been a very significant increase in the level of Sutinah's electability since it began moving in February 2019. "Now (electability) is already at 55 percent from the distribution of 90 percent. That means, the trend that we are pursuing is already more than 50 percent of the target, "Maulatis said by telephone on Wednesday, February 5, 2020.

Maangkasis did not dismiss the "peering" of the incumbent Habsi-Irwan survey. On the other hand, the Director of Political Logos said that the trend survey of static incumbents was not immediate. "The incumbent is only status, whereas the reality of the survey shows that it is still far from a safe level."
