00:00 I am speaking for the three candidates.
00:02 President Jokowi-Dodo criticized the implementation of the presidential election debate
00:08 2024 round 3.
00:11 According to Jokowi, the round 3 debate was not substantive
00:16 and tended to attack personally,
00:18 so it did not educate the public.
00:21 In response to the criticism,
00:23 the head of the General Election Commission of the Republic of Indonesia,
00:26 Hasim Ashari, ensured that his party would not change the format of the debate.
00:31 The statement was delivered before the KPU members' meeting in Jakarta on January 9.
00:39 Hasim said that the change in the format of the debate would raise further questions.
00:44 The debate has been held for three rounds.
00:48 The KPU will not comment on that.
00:50 Because this debate is a campaign.
00:55 The campaign is an activity to convince the voters to vote for themselves
01:01 or to convince the voters to follow the program.
01:03 So, the voters will decide whether the election is qualitative or not,
01:09 whether to educate the voters or not,
01:12 whether to answer the questions according to the theme or not.
01:16 The voters will decide.
01:19 Furthermore, Hasim also said that the KPU has no authority
01:23 to arrange the strategy to the debate substance
01:26 of each presidential candidate and representative.
01:30 From Jakarta, Putoh Indah, Savitri, Erlangga, Bregas, Prakoso,
01:34 Kantor Berita Antara reported.
01:37 We remind you that there will be a debate on September 6 tonight.
