TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Vice-presidential hopeful Sandiaga Uno said he would be hesitant to attack Ma’ruf Amin during the third presidential debate as the latter was a senior ulema.
“Of course I will be hesitant,” he said in South Jakarta on Monday, March 11, 2019.
Sandiaga said although he would try to be himself during the debate he would not turn it into a verbal row. “But rather show the different sides of the candidates to help the people make a firm decision,” he said.
