JAKARTA - Candidate for vice president (cawapres) number 1 Muhaimin Iskandar admits that the vice presidential candidate number 2 Gibran Rakabuming Raka is a tough opponent in the second debate of the 2024 presidential election specifically for vice president.

"We know that Mas Gibran has a track record of successful entrepreneurs, Mas Gibran also has the experience of being a successful mayor. Of course Mas Gibran has strength that we must also be careful," Cak Imin told reporters, Thursday, December 21.

Ahead of tomorrow's debate, Cak Imin said he was preparing himself by observing his vision and mission and program with Anies Baswedan with the material according to the debate theme.

"The most important thing about the substance of the debate is that we convey plans and ideas, so that people support ideas," said Cak Imin.
