JAKARTA - MPR Chairman Ahmad Muzani said that the 7th President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) confirmed that he would attend the MPR Annual Session and the 2025 DPR-DPD Joint Session on Friday, August 15 tomorrow.

Muzani said that the invitation to the Annual Session of the MPR RI and the 2025 DPR-DPD Joint Session for Jokowi was delivered directly by the Deputy Chairperson of the MPR Eddy Soeparno.

"Pak Jokowi juga Insyaallah akan hadir. Benar Pak Eddy, Pak Eddy yang menemui Pak Jokowi, dan kami sedang menunggu," kata Muzani dilansir ANTRA, Kamis, 14 Agustus.

Apart from Jokowi, he said that the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) had also confirmed that he would attend the MPR Annual Session and the 2025 DPR-DPD Joint Session.

"The plan is that Pak SBY, God willing, will attend," he said.

However, he said his party was still waiting for confirmation from the 5th President Megawati Soekarnoputri to attend the MPR Annual Session and the 2025 DPR-DPD Joint Session, as well as confirmation of the presence of former Indonesian vice presidents.

Muzani said that Megawati's invitation was delivered directly by the Deputy Chairperson of the MPR Bambang Wuryanto alias Bambang Pacul.

"We are waiting for confirmation from Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri, the former vice president and the wives of the former vice president, God willing, all of them will attend," he said.

In the MPR Annual Session and the 2025 DPR-DPD Joint Session, his party invited all former presidents and former vice presidents, to former MPR RI leaders.

"From the temporary list of invitations, we have conveyed everything to him and we are waiting for confirmation from these figures to come," he said.

Apart from within the country, Muzani said a number of leaders of state institutions from abroad will also be guests at the MPR RI Annual Session and the 2025 DPR-DPD Joint Session, including the heads of Malaysian parliament, Brunei Darussalam, Singapore, and Timor-Leste.

"The plan is that tomorrow there will be guests from the chairman of the DPR from four countries," he said.

Previously, PDI-P DPP Chairman Bambang Wuryanto said the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia and PDI-P General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri had not confirmed their presence at the MPR RI Annual Session and the 2025 DPR-DPD Joint Session on Friday, August 15.

The deputy chairman of the MPR said that his party had sent an invitation letter to the MPR Annual Session and the 2025 DPR-DPD Joint Session to Megawati, but had not received a response.

"Mother has not provided an answer when the invitation was delivered," said Bambang Pacul.
