JAKARTA - The Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN) Expert Board, Ferry Latuhihin, appreciated the appearance of Vice Presidential Candidate number 2, Gibran Rakabuming Raka in a debate held by the General Elections Commission (KPU) on Friday 22 December.

According to him, as a young leader Gibran has shown his quality in the debate.

"Unexpectedly many people, Gibran is so agile, with his intelligence and straightforwardness explaining his vision and mission. Her beautiful response to questions and answers are also very sharp. So the score is compared to candidate pair 01 and 03, which is on the top of Mas Gibran," said Ferry in the Discussion on Evaluation of the Vice Presidential Debate which was held at the TKN Headquarters. Fanta HQ, Jakarta, Saturday, December 23.

The figure of Gibran has been underestimated all this time. Because, it is considered a minin of experience and is not yet mature in politics. But in fact, Prabowo Subianto's representative was actually able to master the stage of the vice presidential debate beyond his competitors.

Gibran's success in eating all the debate material, namely the economy and infrastructure, cannot be separated from his work as a businessman who started his business from scratch. So that it is very familiar with the theme.

"The background of Gibran is economic and business. He is a millennial lift whose brain is different from the baby boomers' class. The baby boomers are Cak Imin and Mahfud's generation who are not interested in the economy and business. Meanwhile, millennials and Generation Z are full of business plans," he said.

On that occasion, Ferry said he was optimistic that young people would waive their choice to candidate pair number 2 Prabowo-Gibran in the 2024 presidential election. Because, only Prabowo-Gibran gave space to the younger generation to take part in Indonesia Gold.

"This young generation can be very optimistic if Pak Prabowo and Mas Gibran come out to be winners. There must be an opportunity there to work, have a career, and even experiment," said Ferry.
