House of Representatives/ANTARA

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo has not yet sent the name of the candidate for TNI Commander in Chief to replace Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto to the DPR until the closing of the recess period. In fact, Hadi will enter retirement next November.

Two names that are widely rumored to be chosen by President Jokowi as candidates for TNI Commander are KSAD General Andika Perkasa and KSAL Admiral Yudo Margono.

Commission I of the DPR estimates that President Jokowi will send the name of the candidate for the TNI Commander in early November or the trial period begins.

"The surpres will be sent here in early November," said member of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives, TB Hasanuddin, Friday, October 8.

Commission I of the House of Representatives, he said, would immediately process if the Surpres had entered the leadership table.

"In the second week of November, God willing, we will have a fit and proper test," he said.

Hasanuddin ensured that the DPR still had enough time to carry out the fit and proper test for the candidate for the TNI Commander.

"Mr. Hadi is retiring on December 1, so there is still time from November 8 to November 30, approximately 21 days," said the PDI-P politician.
