The
party of democracy in Indonesia is increasingly heating up, various strategies
and mainstays of the Paslon are beginning to be displayed to the public.
Speaking about the Presidential and Vice Presidential Debate event, this was
one of the events to show off the vision and mission of the candidate pair
which had just been held on January 17, 2019. Various media reported
evaluations to the KPU regarding the lattices given to each Paslon, so that the
next debate will be carried out different rules and formats as said by the
General Election Commission (KPU) namely Wahyu Setiawan. There is no grid
anymore and there is no notification of question abstractions made by
panelists, so each candidate pair must be prepared to submit answers in a real
and real way.

The
KPU’s decision received a positive response from candidate pair number 1,
Jokowi-Amin, who stated that there was no problem if the KPU did not give a
lattice at the second debate of the 2019 Presidential Election because of the
fact that it was not number 1 candidate asking for a grid when the first debate
yesterday. The decision to give a grid to each candidate pair is agreed because
we must respect every decision made by the KPU and do not intervene. Although
currently Jokowi still holds the position of President of Indonesia, Jokowi
still follows the rules made by the KPU.

Besides
that, all the people could see in the debate yesterday, precisely Paslon 01 was
the most original, ready, and concrete in the debate. Moreover, the candidate
pair 01 will always explore further about the depth of the mission vision and
the programs that will be offered in the next five years. Considering the theme
of the debate to be raised later in relation to energy, food, infrastructure,
natural resources, the environment, this is an opportunity for Jokowi to win
the debate by seeing the results of real work for 4 years of governance in
advancing energy and infrastructure. One of the advantages of the Jokowi-Amin
pair is that they are able to answer debate questions according to the reality
in the field because of the results of experience in leading the community so
far, starting from the Mayor, the Governor, to the current President of the
Republic, so there can be no doubt answers to be delivered.

In
the first debate yesterday, the Jokowi-Amin pair received many good judgments
and were considered winners compared to the Prabowo-Sandi pair because they
were considered to appear more concrete, calm and not abstract in implementing
the vision and mission that they wanted to aim for Indonesia. Hopefully in the
next debate, Jokowi-Amin is ready to show his best quality and be able to prove
the real visions to the people, especially the subsequent debates in different
formats. Indonesia must be sure of experienced leaders not leaders who have
past burdens.
