JAKARTA - Head of the Prabowo-Gibran Regional Campaign Team (Jabar), Ridwan Kamil believes that Vice Presidential Candidate number 2, Gibran Rakabuming Raka is ready to face a debate held by the KPU at the Jakartao Convention Center (JCC) tonight. According to him, Gibran has mastered the debate theme covering the Economy (Kekayaan dan Digital), Finance, Investment, Tax, Trade, Management of the APBN and APBD, Infrastruktur, and Urban. "I believe Mas Gibran is ready," Ridwan Kamil told reporters in Menteng, Central Jakarta, Friday, December 22. Ridwan admitted that he did not attend the briefing event ahead of the vice presidential debate because he had just returned from the capital city of Nusantara (IKN). However, the former governor of West Java said that he had submitted his theories to Gibran. "I myself just returned from IKN so I didn't technically participate there, but God willing, I'll be there tonight if there are no obstacles," he said. "I just returned from IKN, but in theory I have conveyed it," he continued.

Ridwan is optimistic that Gibran will be able to fight other candidates in the vice presidential debate tonight. Moreover, he said, Gibran's electability is now quite good. "Yes, the numbers are good," he concluded.
