JAKARTA - Acting Chairperson of the United Development Party (PPP) M. Mardiono believes that the answer to presidential candidate number three, Ganjar Pranowo in the inaugural debate will attract unfair voters or voters who have not made their choice. The former governor of Central Java is considered natural in conveying his idea.

This was conveyed by him in response to the results of the Kompas Research and Development survey which stated that electability was under the pair Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN) but the number of unlimited votes reached 28.7 percent.

"I am sure (the voice of the unfair voters will be achieved, ed) but this debate session will be held four times and there will be a debate that will be held by the vice president, of course the public will cumulatively conclude later," Mardiono told reporters at the KPU office, Menteng, Jakarta, Tuesday, December 12.

Mardiono said he was satisfied with Ganjar's appearance. Everything that was conveyed was in accordance with the commitment of the PDIP politician during his career.

"That's Pak Ganjar. So it's without any camouflage or closure, yes, Pak Ganjar always originally conveys his views," he said.

In addition to winning the undecided voters, Ganjar's appearance could also attract the support of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) voters who are now turning to Prabowo. In fact, Mardiono's belief reaches 99 percent.

"Yes, I'm sure. Will return (the voice of Jokowi's supporters, ed) to Pak Ganjar. 99 percent is God's destiny," said Mardiono with a smile.
