JAKARTA - Deputy for the Media Channel for the National Winning Team (TPN) Ganjar-Mahfud MD, Karaniya Dharmasaputra said the meeting between Mahfud MD and President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to submit a letter of resignation would soon be held. Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Pratikno is said to be arranging the schedule. It is known, Mahfud decided to resign as Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam). This resignation was carried out to prevent conflicts of interest because he was running as a vice presidential candidate (cawapres). "The time is being arranged with the Minister of State Secretary Pak Pratikno, and hopefully Prof. Mahfud will soon be able to meet President Jokowi in the near future," Karaniya said at a press conference at the TPN Media Center Ganjar-Mahfud, Jalan Cemara, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, January 31. Karaniya hopes that the meeting between Mahfud and Jokowi can be held soon. Moreover, this plan has been discussed for a long time. "Where Prof Mahfud has stated that the firm will resign from the position of Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, and is taking care of the administrative and transitional processes for later he will officially resign," said Karaniya. "And what happened today was exactly 14.00 through a press release via social media and TV in Lampung," he continued. As previously reported, the vice presidential candidate number three, Mahfud MD has made a letter of resignation from the position of Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs. However, he is still waiting for the moment to meet with President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to submit it directly. "Today I have brought a letter to the president, to convey to the president directly about my political future which has recently become a public discussion and this letter will be delivered as soon as I get a schedule to meet with the president," Mahfud said in a YouTube show, Wednesday, January 31. Mahfud said President Jokowi is still out of town. So, he continues to bring the letter if at any time he is summoned to the State Palace, Jakarta. "As soon as I met him in person, I submitted this letter," he said. Mahfud said that he deliberately wanted to submit his resignation letter directly to Jokowi. Because, he wants to uphold ethics.

"I will only submit a letter, just in short with that. I was respectfully appointed, received the appointment with respect, I will say goodbye with full honor to him, ” said the former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK). “ Dan saya akan melaporkan saya sudah selesai. Itu saja dari saya,” pungkasnya.
