"Previously, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) responded to the issue of the 2024 Presidential Election debate held on Sunday night, January 7, 2024. Jokowi assessed that in the debate, the vision of each presidential candidate was not visible, instead what stood out was mutual attacks."

"Yes, the first thing I saw was actually the substance of his vision, but it was not visible. What was visible was the attacks against each other, which actually doesn't matter as long as there is policy, as long as there is policy, as long as there is vision, it doesn't matter.'"

Jokowi's words during his working visit in Serang, Banten, Monday, January 8, 2024.

Jokowi regrets the personal attacks in the debate. He considers it less educational.

"But if it already attacks personal, private matters that have no connection with the context of last night's debate regarding international relations, geopolitics, defense, and others, I think it provides less education, less educating for the viewers."

The translation of the text "ujarnya" from Bahasa to English, while preserving any HTML tags, is "he/she said".

Jokowi assesses that many people were disappointed with last night's debate. He urges for the debate format to be improved so that the policies and visions of the presidential candidates can be seen. "I think there will be many who are disappointed. So, the debate indeed needs to be formatted better, there should be guidelines so that it's okay to attack each other but the policies, the vision should be attacked, not to bring each other down with personal motives. I think it's not good and not educational," he said.
