JAKARTA - Minister of Law Supratman Andi Agtas emphasized that reconciliation of the two United Development Party (PPP) was purely an initiative from within the party, and without President Prabowo Subianto's contribution.
"There is no (presidential candidate). This is an initiative from all of my friends within the PPP," said Supratman at the Ministry of Law's office, Jakarta, Monday, October 6.
Supratman explained that President Prabowo always said political parties must solve their own problems if they have problems. The government is grateful that PPP was able to solve the problem.
"It turns out that it can be finished. Everything can be done. Earlier we embraced all received ministerial decrees, and today there seems to be no problem between the general chairman (Mardiono), Pak Agus, and Gus Yasin," Supratman said as quoted by Antara.
He hopes that PPP's internal condition will improve after the reconciliation, especially at the lower level.
Everything is now in a very good position. Hopefully this downward will be the same," he hoped.
Previously, PPP held the 10th Congress in Ancol, Jakarta on September 27, 2025 and announced that Mardiono was elected by acclamation as general chairman for the period 2025-2030.
The camp against Mardiono protested. The congress then continued and decided Agus Suparmanto as chairman of the PPP for the period 2025-2030.
The emergence of two general chairmen made the history of the PPP leadership dual again. Both camps claim to be legal as new PPP administrators. They also registered with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
