Head of the Government Bureau and Otda of the West Sumatra Provincial Secretariat, Doni Rahmat Samulo, said that the ratification of Irwan Fikri's dismissal from the position of Deputy Regent of Agam was based on the Decree of the Minister of Home Affairs No. 100.2.1.3-3112 of 2023. The decision starts with the announcement of the Permanent Candidate List (DCT) by the General Elections Commission (KPU). "Currently, the election stage is still announcing the Temporary Candidate List (DCS), meaning that according to the Decree of the Minister of Home Affairs, Irwan Fikri is still serving as Deputy Regent of Agam," he said in Padang, Antara, Thursday, August 24. He said the consequences of the Minister of Home Affairs' Decree, Irwan Fikri should continue to carry out his duties and obligations and accept his rights as Deputy Regent of Agam. According to Doni, the Decree of the Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) has been sent in the form of pdf to Irwan Fikri while the original decree was sent to the Agam Regency Government. "The letter has been taken by the Agam Regency Government," he said. Previously, the Deputy Regent of Agam, Irwan Fikri, submitted his resignation from his position through a letter to the local DPRD on Friday, May 12. Irwan admitted that he resigned on the grounds that he was no longer in line with the regent's performance, and had the potential to disrupt the running of the government and harm the community if it continued to be the deputy regent. He hopes that by resigning the Agam Regency Government will run better without its presence.
