Prabowo Team Anticipates Debate Moderators

Kolom Fakta. In a matter of days, the public will witness two 2019 presidential and vice-presidential candidates arguing to convince the public who deserves to lead this country for the next 5 years. The Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno camp wants the debate to be fair. The moderator figure was highlighted.

"We, Mr. Prabowo-Sandi's BPN, asked the KPU to be careful in choosing the moderator of the debate. The parties indicated to have taken sides in 2014 were better skipped as moderators," said BPN spokesman Prabowo-Sandiaga, Andre Rosiade, in a statement told reporters on Friday.

There is one reason for Prabowo's team to ask the KPU to be careful in choosing a moderator. Andre said that his party did not want to debate the presidential election, which he called the community's benchmark in choosing the leader to run unbalanced or one-sided to one of the candidate pairs.

There are six figures proposed by the KPU as moderators of the election presidential and vice presidential debate. They are Najwa Shihab, Ira Koesno, Bayu Sutiyono, Tomi Cokro, Alfito Deannova, and Prabu Revolusi. Especially for Ira, the KPU has appointed the former broadcaster with Imam Priyono to lead the first session debate.

Then, who are the potential moderators highlighted by the Prabowo-Sandiaga camp? Andre doesn't mention names. He only spoke about the background of the prospective moderator. I don't know who it was because Andre didn't say a name.

"There are several names that in 2014 worked in one of the private TVs, where private TV was very clear in favor of Mr. Jokowi," said the Gerindra Party politician.

In line with Andre, the Gerindra Party Chief of Staff Fadli Zon asked the KPU to appoint a neutral and integrity moderator and agreed on both sides, Joko Widodo-Ma'ruf Amin and of course his champion, Prabowo-Sandi.

Fadli specifically highlighted candidates with a press background. If the moderator has a track record as a journalist, Fadli wants the appointed journalist to be independent.
"We hope that from the press, of course the independent ones, who have integrity, are judged by both parties to have integrity," said Fadli.
