BOGOR - The National Consultative Meeting (Munas) VII of the IPB University Alumni Association (HA) held at the IPB Dramaga Campus on December 20-21, 2025 ended with the election of the new captain. However, this four-year-old event was marred by tension and violent protests from a number of regional delegations.
Tensions peaked on Saturday (20/12/2024), when the verification process for membership took place. The delegation from the Regional Leadership Council (DPD) of the HA IPB Papua Province together with nine Branch Leadership Councils (DPC) under it were prohibited from entering the court arena as full participants (participants with voting rights).
The committee stated that the rejection was based on the delay in collecting administrative documents which were an absolute requirement according to the organization's rules and regulations. This decision triggered a strong protest in front of the gate of the event location.
"We have come from the easternmost part of Indonesia with a sense of family to raise the alma mater, but we are actually being held back by rigid administrative affairs," said one of the representatives of the Papua delegation in his speech.
In the video received by VOI, the Secretary General of HA IPB, Anggawira, was seen very emotional and slammed the entrance door. After entering the courtroom, Angga immediately ran to the stage. Anggawira said he did not beat but protested after being banned for 1.5 hours.
"There is no beating, just protesting because we as candidates why are we being prevented from entering by the committee. I and Caketum Fauzi Amro have been outside for 1.5 hours while other candidates are inside, have tried to communicate by phone and whatssap but there is no clear response," said the Secretary General of HA IPB to VOI through his written message, Monday, December 22.
Angga explained that he ran to the stage and was seen 'arguing' with Son Haji Waketum HA IPB but did not beat him. According to him, his official status as a candidate from the Ketum HA IPB slate was marked by a business card but why he was banned from entering the courtroom.
Angga also added that he had tried to coordinate by contacting all parties involved in the event. He also explained that Sonhaji was his direct senior at Fateta (Faculty of Agricultural Technology) and HMI.
"This is proof that I called the chairman of the SC and the chairman of the OC, the chairman of the Security Committee, the chairman of the General and the chairman of Dewas and also the rector. And there was no beating, just a protest, my senior Sonhaji lagsung in fateta and hmi," he said.
