In the previous two debates, segment 1 delivered the vision and mission of the program of each candidate pair (paslon) for governor and deputy governor as well as segments 2 and 3 deepening the vision and mission by moderators (the candidate pairs will answer questions from panelists).

Then segments 4 and 5 question and answer questions between the candidate pairs and segment 6 of the submission of the closing statements of each candidate pair.
