JAKARTA - The candidate pair Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka are said to be absent from open discussion forums compared to other candidate pairs. Most recently, Gibran was not present at the Muhammadiyah Open Discussion on Friday, November 24. Of course this is the season for his competitors.

At least, from the end of August to the end of November 2023, there were 15 open discussion events held by various parties to facilitate presidential and vice-presidential candidates for the idea.

Quoted from business.com Prabowo data, eight times did not fulfill the invitation. Plus one Muhammadiyah agenda that was not attended by Gibran. Meanwhile, Anies and Ganjar, were absent once each.

However, their absence was not without reason. Prabowo-Gibran's Commander of the Fanta Team (Young Voters), Arief Rasyid, said Prabowo-Gibran had a solid agenda. As a presidential and vice presidential candidate, Prabowo-Gibran must travel to various regions. So that both of them do not always have time to attend open discussion invitations.

Meanwhile, the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN) defended that Gibran was absent as part of one of the strategies for winning the 2024 presidential election. In addition, Gibran was actually present at the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) event which was also held in East Java right on the day of the discussion at Muhammadiyah University.

Indeed, the idea of this candidate pair has been contained in the Astacita program. The public can also access the document online.

But the public wants to know how the idea of the candidate pairs is pitted against the opponent accordingly, not just reading the program in writing. Watch the video below.
