Suara.com – Presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo believes that presidential candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto should not have taken the discussion to another room, when asked to explain data in the third 2024 presidential election debate at Istora Senayan, Newsdelivers.com, Sunday ( 7/1/2024).
Ganjar emphasized that if asked to present data in today’s debate, it must be explained today and not elsewhere. He also quipped, if Prabowo is not ready then don’t debate.
“There’s no need. The debate is today, why does it have to be tomorrow? If you’re not ready, don’t debate,” said Ganjar after the debate answering media crew questions.
He said, if you are ready to debate then everything must be prepared well. If the debate is assessed in a limited time then it is considered a test.
“So if time is limited, that’s the best test, so if you don’t perform, don’t challenge it in another room,” he said.
“There will be your own room in the other room because later you will talk to others as defense minister, he will debate later with the DPR,” he said.
Furthermore, the former Governor of Central Java said that the public had seen enough in the debate room so there was no need to take it to another room.
“And the public will see that there is enough here, so we ask the public to assess that they are inviting us to compare the data and they are not able to,” he said.
Previously in the debate, Ganjar showed data related to defense and security issues.
The data shows small numbers with no growth. He also asked Prabowo for an explanation regarding this matter. However, Prabowo asked Ganjar for time to explain this in another room or forum.
Ganjar insisted that this data must be refuted in the debate, even going so far as to allow Prabowo to be assisted by staff.
“Oh, I can’t, sir, I wasn’t given time. So you’re being unfair, you asked me to give you a very complicated explanation but my time is limited,” he said.
