JAKARTA - The Head of Criminal Investigation of the Indonesian National Police, Komjen Listyo Sigit Prabowo, was appointed by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) as the sole candidate for Chief of the Indonesian National Police (Kapolri) to replace General Idham Azis who will retire.

Collected by VOI, long before the appointment as the sole candidate for National Police Chief, Listyo Sigit Prabowo had filled a strategic position. One of them is the Banten Police Chief. At that time he was appointed to replace Brigadier General Ahmad Dofiri in 2016.

However, before being sworn in as Kapolda, Listyo Sigit had received rejection from a number of scholars and administrators of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) throughout Banten. The reason is because of religious differences.

The area of the sultanate and most of the population of Banten embraced Islam. Meanwhile, Listyo embraced Christianity.

But in the midst of this rejection, Listyo was still appointed as Kapolda. In fact, during his tenure of about 22 months he was able to embrace and generalize these differences.

In addition, during his tenure as Banten Police Chief, Listyo Sigit Prabowo faced various problems. He is in charge of securing the Banten Governor Election (Pilgub) in 2017 and the Simultaneous Regional Head Election (Pilkada) 2018.

Until finally, Listyo Sigit left the position of Head of Banten Police on August 13, 2018. He was promoted to Head of the Police Propam Division with the rank of Inspector General or two stars. Meanwhile, the position of the Banten Police Chief was filled by Brigadier General Teddy Minahasa Putra.

On this day the DPR received a Presidential Letter regarding the name of the candidate for Chief of Police. Surpres number: R-02 / Pres / 01/2021 was conveyed by Minister of State Secretary Pratikno to the Chairman of the DPR, Puan Maharani, at the Parliament building, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 13.

"On this day, President Joko Widodo has submitted a proposal from the Chief of Police to the Indonesian Parliament, on behalf of Komjen Listyo Sigit Prabowo, to obtain DPR approval," Puan said in his official statement.
