TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Prabowo Subianto – Sandiaga Uno campaign team (BPN) spokeswoman Dian Islamiati Fatwa said Sandiaga will put forth politeness in the vice presidential debate against Ma’ruf Amin.
The next debate will see vice presidential candidates pitted against each other on March 17, 2019.
“Sandi is extremely polite. He obviously would not be aggressive [in the debate] and will view Ma’ruf as Ulema,” said Dian to Tempo on Monday, February 18.
Dian mentioned Sandiaga’s previous statement wishing the next debate will not utilize questions provided by panelists since he does not want both he and Ma’ruf Amin be aggressive against each other.
“Sandiaga respects Ma’ruf Amin as a senior and respects his expertise as an Ulema and someone that has to be respected. Sandi will not attack,’ Dian confirmed.
The third presidential election debate will only pit vice presidential candidates from both camps.
