JAKARTA - The Central Executive Board (DPP) of the National Mandate Party (PAN) has appointed Yandri Susanto as Deputy Chair of the RI MPR from the PAN faction to replace Zulkifli Hasan, who was appointed Minister of Trade (Mendag) since June 15.

Regarding this matter, the Secretary General of PAN Eddy Soeparno stated that he had instructed the MPR PAN faction to immediately submit a Decree (SK) to replace Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas) to MPR Chairman Bambang Soesatyo.

"It has been decided that Yandri Susanto will become the Deputy Chair of the MPR RI, and because of the PAN MPR faction, we have instructed us to submit a decree to the Chairman of the MPR RI," said Eddy to reporters, Tuesday, June 28.

The appointment of Yandri Susanto as a replacement for Zulhas in the leadership of the MPR was also confirmed by the Vice-Chancellor of PAN, Viva Yoga Mauladi. Viva said the PAN DPP had appointed Yandri Susanto as Zulhas' replacement.

"This decision was taken by consensus at the DPP PAN daily meeting, not using voting," said Viva when contacted, Tuesday, June 28.
