The chairman of the PDI-P faction in the Indonesian House of Representatives, Utut Adianto, emphasized that the filling of the position of Secretary General (Sekjen) of the PDIP after Hasto Kristiyanto's stumbling in legal cases was fully under the authority of General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri.
Utut explained that if the PDIP Congress VI, which will be held this year, re-confirms Megawati as general chairman, Megawati will compile the ranks of the party's management structure herself, including the position of secretary general.
"If there is no election at the PDIP. For example, Mrs. Megawati was appointed by acclamation as general chairman, then she was the one who compiled the 'kabinet'. She is a single formatur," said Utut to reporters, Thursday, May 15.
Formatur, he continued, is a person who has the sole authority to form a party organization structure, including establishing a secretary general and other core administrators.
When asked about who the candidates could potentially replace Hasto Kristiyanto, Utut chose not to speculate. He stated that all strategic decisions were in Megawati's hands.
"That's your question, I don't know. If the general chairman likes you to be the secretary general, yes you," he said jokingly.

Utut also believes that Congress VI will again appoint Megawati as chairman, given the strong aspirations of cadres at the branch level to the DPP to maintain Megawati's leadership.
However, he predicts the congress will not be held in June, which coincides with Bung Karno's Month. He did not specify the reason, but said that according to time calculations, the congress was still quite far away.
