JAKARTA Researcher for Political Indicators, Bawono Kumoro, assessed that President Prabowo Subianto should immediately evaluate all elements of the National Police to the helm as a result of a massive and anarchic demonstration that claimed lives.

"The evaluation of the Indonesian police is certainly absolutely necessary by President Prabowo Subianto as a form of response that can calm the public, satisfying the public for yesterday's incident," he said, Sunday, August 31, 2025.

According to him, the form of evaluation could be in the form of changing the helm of the police, although it is actually the prerogative of the president. Because, by replacing the helm of the National Police, you can give a message to the public that President Prabowo has heard the public's response, heard public input and is heading to Polri reform as expected by the public.

Bawono also reminded that the most important thing right now is that the public and all civilian forces must jointly oversee the legal process that dragged the apparatus into a transparent manner according to the direction of President Prabowo's order.

On the other hand, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo stated that the change of the police chief was the prerogative of the president. This statement follows the emergence of demands for the resignation of the National Police Chief as a form of accountability for the death of an ojol driver, Affan Kurniawan.

"Regarding the issue related to the police chief, it is the prerogative of the president. As soldiers, we are ready at any time if asked to resign or be replaced by the president," said Listyo in Bogor, Saturday, August 30, 2025.
