JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) officially inaugurated Dito Ariotedjo as Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) as of Monday, April 3. A tough task awaits him.

Realizing the big responsibility he has as the coach of all sports, Dito chose to give up his position as chairman of RANS Nusantara.

He admitted that he did not want a conflict of interest if he was still in an important position in the Liga 1 cluster.

"Surely (resigning from RANS Nusantara) automatically as Menpora I have to oversee all stakeholders, so there is no conflict of interest, so I will resign," said Dito in his statement after being inaugurated at the State Palace on Monday, April 3.

This young Golkar Party politician said the official resignation from RANS had been conveyed to coincide with his inauguration as Menpora. That way, Dito will not be involved in the company formed by Raffi Ahmad and Nagita Slavina.

Now, Dito is focused on proving himself worthy of this position. Understandably, the tone of self-sufficiency accompanied his steps towards the seat of minister of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet.

Dito was appointed as Menpora at a young age of 32 years. With his new responsibility Dito is required to be able to pay for the trust of President Jokowi.

"Everything will be answered with performance and also with what I will do at the Ministry of Youth and Sports. So I will not answer with words but with actions and impacts that occur," said Dito Ariotedjo.

Prior to becoming Menpora, Dito was an entrepreneur who also held the position of Chairman of RANS Nusantara FC who competed in Liga 1 2022/2023. In addition, he was also part of Rans PIK Basketball in the Indonesia Basketball League (IBL).
