Former Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - Professor of Constitutional Law as well as former vice presidential candidate number 3 in the 2024 presidential election Mahfud Md confirmed that he would attend the inauguration of elected presidential and vice presidential candidates for the 2024-2029 period Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

He also admitted that he had accepted the invitation to inaugurate Prabowo-Gibran. He explained that the inauguration was an important agenda for Indonesia.

"Oh yes, I was invited, I will attend, of course, because this is a country, this is not a matter of group politics, individual politics," Mahfud said in his statement Wednesday, October 16.

Mahfud, who ran in the 2024 presidential election with Ganjar Pranowo, reminded that every citizen of course has an obligation to respect the important state agendas.

One of these agendas is none other than the inauguration of Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka as President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia.

"Everyone must, if the state has an event, it must be respected, I want to come," he said.

Regarding his arrival at the MPR RI Building, Mahfud revealed that he will most likely come with Ganjar Pranowo, the former Governor of Central Java who is his presidential candidate pair in the 2024 presidential election.

According to him, the plan is being coordinated by his team and a team from Ganjar.

On the other hand, whether his presence is with Ganjar or not with Ganjar, Mahfud will still attend the inauguration of the President and Vice President for the period 2024-2029.

For the former Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam), his arrival will not only be in order to respect the MPR RI, but also to respect the people who have been chosen by the Indonesian people.

"It seems that I want to be with Pak Ganjar, it seems that it is being coordinated, but I respect the MPR, I will come and respect the chosen person," Mahfud explained.

This is in line with what Mahfud said when he was met by the media crew after speaking at the Indonesia Integrity Forum.

At that time, he said that he would come to the inauguration of the President and Vice President which would be held at the MPR Building on October 20, 2024 if they were invited.

Mahfud did not seem to have a burden to attend the inauguration of Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka as President and Vice President.

Moreover, Mahfud has a good relationship with Prabowo Subianto and with Joko Widodo who is Gibran's father.

This loadless attitude was also displayed by Mahfud Md when he passed important moments of the 2024 presidential election.

Not only about the inauguration, Mahfud consistently displayed this attitude when he received the quick count results or fast count and when he received the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) regarding the results of the 2024 presidential election.

He also gave an important message so that every element of the nation continues to act and never tire of contributing to Indonesia.

"Indonesia is a great nation, so no matter where you are, no matter how small your role, this country needs to be built by the strength of the nation's children. Keep doing your best for Indonesia," he concluded.
