JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said Hadi Tjahjanto had the task of maintaining stability after being appointed Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) replacing Mahfud MD. Order and security must be considered. "I have ordered several things related to security and order," Jokowi told reporters at the State Palace, Jakarta, Wednesday, February 21. In addition, Hadi was also asked to pay attention to matters related to investment in the country. Jokowi believes the former TNI commander can do it. "We know that the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs used to be the commander, I think to overcome matters related to politics, law and security, very, very ready," said the former governor of DKI Jakarta. As previously reported, Hadi Tjahjanto was sworn in at the State Palace, Jakarta on Wednesday, February 21. He was inaugurated with the Chairman of the Democratic Party Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono who replaced him as Minister of ATR/BPN. Meanwhile, Mahfud MD resigned because he did not want to have a conflict of interest when running as a vice presidential candidate (cawapres). In the presidential election, in 2024 he ran in pairs with Ganjar Pranowo.

The pair number three was promoted by the PDI-P (PDIP) and supported by the United Development Party (PPP), the Hanura Party, and the Perindo Party.
