The majority of this support automatically paved the way for AHY to become ketum and replaced the position previously held by SBY from 2013-2020.

In his first speech as a ketum, Agus thanked a number of parties who supported him. In particular, his gratitude goes to the former head of the Democrat Party and his father, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

He asked PD cadres to respect SBY as the founding father of the Democratic Party, for his services and dedication during his tenure as Chairman of the PD. For this reason, he invited PD cadres to work hand in hand in developing Indonesia.

"Together with all PD cadres, if we want to realize the big goal, let us join hands and God willing, we will reach our goal in the next five years," said AHY.
