YOGYAKARTA - The 2024 presidential election debate is back in the title on Sunday, January 7, 2024. The General Election Commission (KPU) and the winning team for each of the presidential and vice presidential candidates are preparing to hold the third debate for the 2024 presidential election. If the second debate for the 2024 presidential election is a debate between the vice presidential candidates, then this third debate is between the presidential candidates. Want to know the difference between the debate between the three presidential candidates and the previous one?

Based on the evaluation of the vice presidential debate on Friday, December 22, 2024, there are several differences between the third debate of the presidential election and the previous debate.

1. Only use 1 Microphone

In the third debate of the 2024 presidential election, each presidential candidate only uses 1 microphone attached (building-in) on the debate podium. The use of the built-in microphone on this podium will also reduce the presidential candidate's chance to leave the podium when arguing.

This is different from the first and second debates when a candidate argues using 3 types of microphones: skintone, clip on, and handheld microphones (holded). The use of 3 types of microphones is intended as a form of anticipation if one of them is damaged or has a malfunction during the debate and is broadcast live.

2. The Role of Moderator Extended

In the third debate of the 2024 presidential election, the position of moderator will be expanded from previous debates. If the previous debate was only in charge of controlling the debate flow to reading the questions that had been compiled by the panelists, then in the third debate of the presidential election, the moderator could also clarify the questions of each presidential candidate.

The moderator can ask the pen presidential candidate to clarify his question so that it can and easily be understood by other presidential candidates who answer it. For example, the moderator will ask the pen presidential candidate to explain the abbreviation used when asking questions.

3. Maximize the Role of Liaison Officer (LO)

In the third debate of the 2024 presidential election, the position of the litison officer or LO will be maximized. If in the previous vice presidential debate, LO functions as the controller of the atmosphere in each team of presidential and vice presidential candidates, then in this third debate, LO will also carry out a briefing or provide directions so that the presidential candidate uses questions that are easily understood by other presidential candidates.

4. Debate Between Presidential Candidates

The third debate for the 2024 presidential election will bring together the three presidential candidates, namely presidential candidate No. 1 Anies Baswedan, presidential candidate no. 2 Prabowo Subianto and presidential candidate no. 3 Ganjar Pranowo. This meeting is the second meeting, after previously the three met in the inaugural presidential election debate, which was on December 12, 2023.

5. Debate Theme

The theme of the third debate of the 2024 presidential election is defense and security, international relations and geopolitical. This theme is different from the previous 2 debates. In the inaugural debate between presidential candidates, the theme of the debate raised is government, law, human rights, eradication of corruption, strengthening democracy, increasing public services and harmony of citizens.

Then in the second debate, which is the debate between the vice presidential candidates, the theme of the debate raised is the economy (regional economy and the digital economy), finance, tax investment, trade, management of the APBN-APBD, infrastructure, and urban areas.
