ncumbent Deputy Governor Djarot Saiful Hidayat said the third and final official gubernatorial debate on Friday evening was pivotal for voters to decide who the most “experienced” candidate was.
"[By watching the third debate], citizens will hopefully be able to decide who among the candidates are only making promises and who is arguing based on experience," Djarot told reporters before the debate at Bidakara hotel in South Jakarta on Friday evening.
The third debate will focus on demography and improvement of Jakartans' livelihood.
Djarot also expressed his hope that election day on Feb. 15 would be a "face of Indonesian democracy" and promote tolerance among citizens.
"We hope that the election will be secure from any threats and is held peacefully," Djarot added. (bbs)
