Lodewijk: We Are Waiting For The President To Propose A Candidate For TNI Commander

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the DPR for the field of Korpolkam, Lodewijk F. Paulus hopes that President Joko Widodo will immediately send the name of a candidate to replace Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto as TNI Commander.

"We are waiting, monitoring, hopefully the president will immediately propose a candidate for the Commander of the TNI," said Lodewijk after being sworn in to replace Azis Syamsuddin at the DPR Building, Thursday, September 30. Because, said Lodewijk, Marshal Hadi will end his tenure as TNI Commander on the last day of November. On the other hand, the DPR RI will enter a recess on October 7 next.

So, according to him, there is not much time for the DPR to conduct a fit and proper test for the candidate for the TNI Commander if his name is not immediately sent by the Palace. "Because Pak Hadi has retired as of 1 December. 7 (November) we already have a TNI Commander," explained Lodewijk.

Meanwhile, there are two strong candidates who have the opportunity to replace Hadi Tjahjanto, namely Army Chief of Staff Andika Perkasa and Navy Chief of Staff Yudo Margono.
