JAKARTA - The leaders of the factions in the MPR and the DPD RI group agreed to elect the members of the DPR for the Lampung I electoral district, Ahmad Muzani, as the Chairperson of the MPR for the 2024-2029 period. The agreement was taken at a joint meeting of the leaders of the MPR factions with the DPD group tonight.

"The joint meeting of the leaders of the MPR RI factions and the DPD group led by the interim leadership has agreed by deliberation and consensus, that the candidates for chairman of the MPR that have been agreed in this joint meeting are candidates proposed from the Gerindra Party faction," said the chairman of the PDIP faction at the MPR Ahmad Basarah, Wednesday, October 2.

"His name is my friend, my colleague at the leadership of the MPR for the previous period, his name is Mr. Haji Ahmad Muzani," he continued accompanied by applause from MPR members.

Muzani, continued Basarah, will be accompanied by 8 deputy chairmen of the MPR who have been determined by each faction of political parties in the MPR.

However, the representatives of political parties in the MPR are still waiting for the deputy chairman of the MPR from elements of the DPD group.

"What they are still meeting tonight is to determine," Basarah continued.

Thus, said Basarah, the MPR plenary meeting on Thursday, October 3, 2024 at 10.00 WIB was only left to determine the new MPR arrangement.

"The one led by Ahmad Muzani was accompanied by 8 deputy chairmen of the MPR RI from political party factions and DPD groups which will be determined tomorrow," he said.

"So, tomorrow at 10 am we hope that our media friends can come and cover and distribute to all Indonesian people, tomorrow a new MPR leader will be formed," Basarah concluded.
