TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The vice presidential hopeful number 02 Sandiaga Uno has again suggested places to hold the election debate, such as in town hall or open spaces if the event was prohibited to take place in a campus.

“Kadin (Indonesian Chamber of Commerce & Industry) has many times established debates in Djakarta Theater. That is good,” said Sandiaga before reporters in Lapangan Bulungan, South Jakarta, Oct 23.

Sandiaga also recommended inviting professors who have not declared support to one of the candidate pairs or non-partisan students in a bid to create a conducive situation. He underlined the organizing committee of the debate should invite members of the independent organization.

Kadin and HIPMI, for example, he added. Despite both leaders supported one of the candidates, as they remained as the independent organization.

“Kadin (Indonesian Chamber of Commerce & Industry) has many times established debates in Djakarta Theater. That is good,” said Sandiaga before reporters in Lapangan Bulungan, South Jakarta, Oct. 23.

Sandiaga also recommended inviting professors who have not stated support to one of the candidate pairs or non-partisan students in a bid to generate a conducive situation. He underlined the organizing committee of the debate should invite members of the independent organization.

Kadin and HIPMI, for example, still as independent organization despite the leaders supported one of the candidates. The members could be invited as audiences for the topics of the economy. “Or invite fishers, migrant workers, farmers who do not declare support,” Sandiaga noted.

The location and audiences of the debate session, according to him, played an important role in the success of the event because it aimed for sharing ideas, instead of arguments that sparked polemics.

Sandiaga Uno considered the idea competition during the 2014 presidential election debate and the 2017 Jakarta election debate only sought the rating. Thus the situation potentially sparked discordance in the grass root.

Earlier, the idea to establish the election debate in campus was delivered by the National Campaign Agency Prabowo-Sandiaga spokesman, Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak, during a discussion in Gadjah Mada University.

The recommendation was then rejected by the General Election Commission (KPU) as it violated the KPU Decree No. 23/2018, noting that organizing committee, participants, and campaign team are prohibited to utilize state facilities, prayer, and education places for campaign acts.
