Jakarta gubernatorial candidate Anies Baswedan and his deputy candidate Sandiaga Uno have made preparations ahead of the first official debate on Friday, including dividing up their roles in addressing specific issues.
Sandiaga said Tuesday that Anies, a former culture and education minister, would address issues related to bureaucracy and human development in the city during the debate.
"While I will be addressing economic and infrastructure development in Jakarta," Sandiaga, a businessman, told reporters on the campaign trail in Tanjung Duren, West Jakarta.
"We are sure we can convince people that our programs can tackle the existing problems in the city," he added.
