JAKARTA - The Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN) is optimistic that it can attract voters who have not yet made a choice or swing voters after the inaugural presidential debate of the 2024 presidential election held by the KPU last night. This is because the presidential candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto is considered to appear humanist. "With this debate, we are increasingly optimistic that voters who were originally swing voters, will be convinced with Mr. Prabowo," said Secretary of TKN Prabowo-Gibran, Nusron Wahid, during a press conference in Jakarta, Tuesday, December 12, evening. According to Nusron, Prabowo's appearance was different compared to previous debates when the Minister of Defense ran for president or vice president in the last election. Nusron assessed that Prabowo appeared calmly when conveying his idea in the first debate. "The appearance of Pak Prabowo's debate in 2009, 2014, even in 2019 was very different, very cheerful, very humorous, very straightforward and very calm in conveying the structure of the words conveyed to the public," he said. Nusron continued, Prabowo showed his humanist nature by respecting and not attacking other candidate pairs. This, he said, would be one aspect that made TKN optimistic if voters were still hesitant to be sure to choose Prabowo-Gibran. "There is not a single word or sentence whose nature is striking and bring down the other candidate," said Nusron.

The Golkar politician considers Prabowo to be the best in his first debate when compared to other candidate pairs. He said Prabowo was superior in language choices, tactics in answering ideas and concepts, as well as humorous aspects. "We are also optimistic that the results of this debate will be able to break electability and increase public confidence and people's beliefs to choose the Prabowo-Gibran pair for elections on February 14, 2024," he said.
