Presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto is physically prepared for the third presidential debate, which will take place on Sunday, campaign team deputy chief Ahmad Muzani said.
“Prabowo discusses more, reads more and is in a healthy physical condition. He swims often and takes jamu herbal medicine,” Ahmad said on Wednesday, as reported by Solopos.com.
Ahmad also asserted that his team would seriously treat the defense issue, a topic for the upcoming election debate, despite Prabowo’s current position as defense minister.
“I think despite his position as defense minister and command of the topic, [he should] keep up with updates on defense [matters] as defense [issues] are still developing today,” he said.
Ahmad assessed the defense issue as a sensitive topic and said that Prabowo should listen to the public’s ideas, especially to get more public attention.
“There is no secure country. In this situation, the defense of a country can be disrupted by anything. So, Prabowo needs to listen more,” Ahmad added.
The third presidential debate on Sunday will focus on defense, security, international relations and geopolitics.
