PURWOKERTO- Deputy Chairman of the National Campaign Team Expert Council Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka (Prabowo-Gibran), Budiman Sudjatmiko, expressed optimism that presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto was able to master the debate material for the third presidential candidate which will be held on Sunday, January 7.

"On 7th, Pak Prabowo, our presidential candidate, will argue with geopolitical themes, foreign politics, defense, security, globalization. I can say, it's food, it's breakfast, lunch, and Pak Prabowo's dinner," said Budiman.

He explained that in the previous debate, he focused more on the vice presidential candidate (cawapres) Gibran Rakabuming Raka with themes such as the APBN, APBD, investment, and the digital economy.

Budiman stated that as part of the Expert Council of the National Campaign Team (TKN), they had no trouble providing input, and overall, Prabowo was very good at the material.

Budiman also conveyed plans for the next debate. In the second vice presidential debate, or the fourth overall debate, the Prabowo-Gibran pair will discuss issues of social welfare, social programs, and village issues. He emphasized the strength of the couple in the free lunch program for school children and pregnant women.

Meanwhile, in the fifth debate, the themes raised include education, human resources, science, and technology. Budiman expressed his understanding of these themes and hoped that the Prabowo-Gibran pair could appear superior.

Although some people argue that the debate doesn't really matter, Budiman believes that a good performance of debate can prevent voters from switching and can affect voters who still haven't made their choice. He ended by stating that their team was ready to face these themes in the debate.
