Jakarta (B2B) - Calon wakil presiden Mohammad Jusuf Kalla yang dirawat di RS Abdi Waluyo bukan karena memiliki riwayat penyakit khusus atau terlalu lelah usai debat cawapres, melainkan untuk pemeriksaan kesehatan (check up) rutin.
Juru bicara tim pemenangan pasangan Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla, Akbar Faisal menyebutkan, bahwa JK hanya melakukan check up rutin seperti yang biasanya dilakukan.
"Jadi itu hanya jadwal check up rutin saja. Soalnya check up terakhir sudah lama dilakukan yaitu pada bulan April lalu, lalu check up yang selanjutnya baru dilakukan semalam," kata Akbar saat ditemui wartawan di media center Jokowi-JK di kawasan Menteng, Jakarta Pusat, Senin.
Menurutnya, alasan JK menginap satu malam di RS Abdi Waluyo agar tidak mengganggu jadwal kampanye terbuka yang tinggal lima hari lagi sesuai dengan penetapan KPU.
"Ini kan kita mengatur jadwal kampanye kita ke kiri ke kanan, kalau baru pagi ini masuk rumah sakit, itu akan mengganggu jadwal kampanye kita," jelasnya.
Akbar Faisal menambahkan, JK sudah kembali ke kediamannya di Jl Brawijaya. Dia berharap agar besok, JK dapat kembali mengikuti jadwal kampanye yang telah ditetapkan oleh Tim Kampanye Nasional.
"Sekarang beliau sudah di Brawijaya dan mudah-mudahan besok sudah bisa kembali mengikuti jadwal kampanye lagi," katanya.
Jakarta (B2B) - Akbar Faisal, a member of the Joko Widodo (Jokowi)-Jusuf Kalla (JK) success team stated that Indonesian vice presidential candidate M. Jusuf Kalla was hospitalized at the Abdi Waluyo Hospital, Central Jakarta, on Sunday night, but it was not because of the vice presidential debate.
"No, it was just a routine medical checkup. I confirm one thousand percent that he was not exhausted because of the Sunday evening debate," remarked at the Jokowi-JK Media Center, here on Monday.
Kalla was now resting at home, and he will continue with the election campaigning when his condition gets better, he added.
Faisal stated that JK spent a night in hospital to undergo a medical checkup.
"Because it was too late, he stayed overnight at the hospital. Basically, he is not sick, it is just a routine medical checkup," Faisal affirmed.
Presidential candidate Jokowi confirmed that JK was hospitalized as he was suffering from acidity.
"He was indeed hospitalized. It was reported that he was diagnosed for acidity and sent back home, if I am not wrong," he noted.
JK, the running mate of Jokowi, and his rival, Hatta Rajasa, the running mate of presidential candidate, Prabowo Subianto, took part in the vice presidential debate organized by the General Elections Commission (KPU) on Sunday evening.
Following the debate, Kalla was rushed to the hospital and stayed there for a night.
