JAKARTA - Presidential Candidate Prabowo Subianto joked before going to the KPU office to undergo the inaugural presidential candidate debate. Prabowo, who is paired with Gibran Rakabuming Raka, talked about the New Order, the Banyumas People.

"Orba, the New Order, the Banyumas People," said Prabowo before boarding the car with the vice president Gibran from his residence, Kertanegara, South Jakarta, Tuesday, December 12.

Prabowo is still busy with activities as Minister of Defense today. But Ridwan Kamil, Chairman of the West Java Prabowo-Gibran TKD, said Prabowo was ready for the inaugural presidential candidate debate.

"God willing, there will be many surprises," said Ridwan Kamil at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, December 12.

Ridwan said he would witness the debate directly at the KPU office. He and the campaign team have simulated the debate and provided input to Prabowo.

"It has been yesterday two hours of simulation,briefing, input to Pak Prabowo. Yes (input) elegant debate techniques and convincing the public, God willing," he said.

Previously reported by the Secretary of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN), Nusron Wahid, responded to the speech of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri who alluded to the current authorities such as the ruler of the New Order (Orba).

Nusron said that his party respects Megawati as the daughter of the proclaimer and 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia. However, she was surprised by Megwati's statement, because the current ruler is the result of his own sweat.

"Today's power was formed by Mrs. Megawati herself for 10 years, because Mr. Jokowi in the 2014 presidential election was promoted by PDIP and supported by crowds, including our support. And in 2019 it was also supported by PDIP and was later said to be similar to the new order. I said who is the new order?," said Nusron at the Media Center TKN Prabowo-Gibran on Jalan Sriwijay 1, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Tuesday, November 28.

The Golkar politician explained that the signs of a new order are when there is a centralization of power in the hands of one party. Nusron also mentioned the mobilization of the state civil apparatus (ASN) to win certain presidential candidates which has been busy lately.

"Now, is the characteristics in Pak Jokowi? Nothing, this power is decentralized to various parties. The Coordinating Minister for the Economy is from Golkar and then the minister of state apparatus is from the PDIP. So if later it is said to be similar to a new order because there is a mobilization of ASN that is most responsible for mobilizing ASN that can do that is Menpan RB. The Menpan RB is from, well I don't mention it, from certain parties," said Nusron.
