Suara.com – Chairman of the Indonesian General Election Commission (KPU) Hasyim Asy’ari explained the reasons for presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo standing on the center podium during last night’s debate.
According to Hasyim, this was because in this third debate, Ganjar got the first opportunity to convey his vision, mission and work program in the first segment of the debate.
“It’s in order or turn. The first debate will be one, two, three. “Then the second debate will be the next opportunity, right, the order is in accordance with the agreement for the first talk,” said Hasyim at Istora Senayan, Central Newsdelivers.com, Sunday (7/1/2024).
