JAKARTA – The death of King Pura Mangkunegaran Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Arya (KGPAA) Mangkunegara IX on Friday, August 13, left deep sorrow for his family and relatives.

The death of the King is a question for netizens, who is the successor to the throne of King Mangkunegaran?

Looking at the genealogy, there are two sons of the late KGPAA Mangkunegara IX who have the opportunity to continue the seat of King Mangkunegaran. They are GPH Paundakarna Sukmaputra Jiwanegara and GPH Bhre Cakrahutomo Wira Sudjiwo.

Paundra was born from his first marriage to Sukmawati Soekarno Putri. Meanwhile, GPH Bhre Cakrahutomo Wira Sudjiwo was born from his second marriage to Prisca Marina Yogi Supardi, who is now the Empress.

It is still too early to determine who Jumeneng (appointed as king) of the two sons of KGPAA Mangkunegara IX will be. But, seeing Paundra's figure, this man is predicted to replace his father.

Paundra is considered to have a tenacious personality. Active in the entertainment world, Paundra has been involved in several feature films. In the world of singing, this man has released an album. Paundra even had time to plunge into the world of politics. He was a member of the Surakarta DPRD from the PDI-P Party.

Paundra's expertise is felt to be strong for netizens that he is the one who will inherit the throne of Mangkunegara IX. Although the prediction is strong for Paundra, it should be noted that GPH Bhre Cakrahutomo Wira Sudjiwo is the son of Prisca Marina Yogi Supardi, Empress of KGPAA Mangkunegara IX.

However, Paundra's sister, Gra Agung Putri Suniwati, believes that the Crown Prince of Mangkunegara IX is her brother.

"Yes, Paandra." said Menur, Gra Agung Putri Suniwati's warm greeting, to VOI.
