JAKARTA - Diah Pikatan Orissa Putri Haprani was officially inaugurated as a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives for the period 2024-2029. The woman who is familiarly called Pinka Haprani admitted that she wanted to fight for the issue of children, women, and disabilities in her first term as a member of the DPR.

Pinka and hundreds of members of the DPR for the 2024-2029 period were officially sworn in on Monday 1 October 2024 at the Nusantara Building, Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta. He also attended the DPR Plenary Meeting for the period 2024-2029 after the inauguration.

"For me: women and children, also with disabilities. That is my concern," Pinka said when asked by reporters after the DPR Plenary Meeting, Monday, October 1 night.

Even so, Pinka is still waiting for her faction's order, namely the PDI-P (PDIP) faction to be placed in what commission in the DPR.

"Wait for the order. If you are asked what you want? What do you want (Commission) X (which is in charge of) education and culture but don't know yet, I'm still waiting for the faction's order," said the daughter of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Puan Maharani.

As a member of the House of Representatives who is still young, Pinka stated that there are no difficulties in associating with seniors in the House of Representatives. He also continues to try to be supportive with other members of the House of Representatives across factions.

"We are all the same, we want different parties with different age distances, we have to stay close if we know them," said Pinka.

"If you don't (know), I'll get to know you first," added the 25-year-old legislator.

Pinka is known to have participated in the 2024 Pilleg contestation for the Electoral Region (Dapil) of Central Java IV which includes Wonogiri Regency, Sragen Regency, and Karanganyar Regency. The Central Java District IV is known as one of the Dapil Hell'' because many incumbents and famous names are fighting in this electoral district.

Pinka's name is quite interesting to the public. Because even though it seems that it is only in the political arena, Pinka's votes are quite high. With more than 60 thousand votes, Pinka outperforms a number of incumbent members of the senior DPR.
