However, the duration of the debate itself is 120 minutes and the other 30 minutes are advertising breaks placed between the 6 debate segments.
In these six segments, Hasyim claims that he will provide greater opportunities for the presidential candidates to interact with each other.
In the first segment, the debate began with the reading of the rules and regulations led by 2 moderators, namely Ardianto Wijaya and Valerina Daniel.
After that, each presidential candidate was given the opportunity to explain their vision, mission and program for 4 minutes.
