KPU Jakarta Commissioner Astri Megatari said the three pairs of candidates who will run in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada will undergo a three-time debate session. The first debate will take place on October 6.

"For the first debate, we are still coordinating with the organizer's tv regarding the implementation, however. For the schedule, God willing, it will be held on October 6," he explained at the KPU Jakarta Office, Monday, September 23.

Astri has not been able to announce the theme of the debate that will be followed by the candidate pair of Governor-Deputy Governor of Jakarta number 1, Ridwan Kamil-Suswono, Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana 2 and Pramono-Rano 3. The Jakarta KPUD is still formulating the theme of debate.

"So we will formulate with the formulating team for the debate material for each of the first, second and third debates," he said.

Plans for the debate mechanism, he continued, the pairs of candidates for governor and deputy were jointly present in every debate session.

"Later on, the debate will be in a duration of 150 minutes with 120 minutes of debate and 30 minutes for ad break. Divided into 6 segments, roughly like that. So indeed the segmentation is the same as the presidential election debate which also lasts for 6 segments," he explained.
