"This decision has sparked controversy as it is seen as a red carpet for Gibran Rakabuming Raka to become vice president. The discussion regarding the Constitutional Court's decision was initially brought up by Ganjar Pranowo. The presidential candidate with number 2 requested Prabowo's response regarding the Constitutional Court's decision. "Mr. Prabowo's commitment is extraordinary, given the current context I have no choice but to ask, what is Mr. Prabowo's comment on the Constitutional Court's decision," said Ganjar at the KPU, Tuesday, December 12, 2023."

According to Prabowo, the rules established by the Constitutional Court are clear. "The rules are clear, we are not children; our people are smart, our people know, Mas Ganjar, we know how the process works, who is intervening?" replied Prabowo. In the next segment of the debate, the three presidential candidates were given the opportunity to ask each other questions. The first presidential candidate to get the chance to ask was Anies Baswedan. 

Prabowo said that the decision on the ethics issue is final and no longer needs to be debated. "My team of legal experts has stated that from a legal standpoint, there is no problem; the ethical issue has been addressed and a decision has been made," said Prabowo. "The point is that the decision is final and cannot be changed; I will implement it," he added.
