JAKARTA (ANTARA) – In a pivotal transition for Indonesia, Joko Widodo (Jokowi), the country’s seventh president, officially passed the mantle to newly inaugurated President Prabowo Subianto on Sunday, emphasizing the responsibility now placed on his successor to fulfill the dreams and aspirations of the nation. With this change in leadership, the focus shifts to the promise of unity and progress for Indonesia’s 280 million citizens.
A Historic Transition of Power
The inauguration ceremony took place during a plenary session of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) held at the Nusantara Building in Jakarta, marking the beginning of the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka administration, which will govern from 2024 to 2029. A robust audience of 709 out of 731 MPR members witnessed the event, alongside esteemed national figures, political party leaders, and international representatives, underscoring the ceremony’s significance.
As part of his farewell remarks, President Jokowi flew from Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base to his hometown of Solo, Central Java, accompanied by his wife, Iriana. The flight was celebrated with a show of military aircraft, symbolizing both the honor of his decade-long tenure and the commencement of a new era under Prabowo’s leadership.
A Call for Unity and Cooperation
In his remarks, Jokowi highlighted the immense responsibilities ahead for President Prabowo. "We could not handle everything; therefore, I have entrusted the dreams, hopes, and great ideas of the 280 million Indonesian people to President Prabowo," he stated, acknowledging the collective aspirations that must now be addressed.
Jokowi’s message resonated with a commitment to harmony and cooperation among citizens: "Be harmonious and hand in hand to build this country, as conveyed by President Prabowo." This call for unity is particularly important as the nation faces various challenges that require collective effort and innovative solutions.
Leaders’ Responsibilities
President Prabowo’s administration is tasked with grappling not only with the continuation of policies from the previous administration but also with addressing urgent issues, from economic resilience to technology advancement. The current administration’s ability to harness the strengths of Indonesia’s diverse population while also navigating internal and external challenges will be crucial to its success.
Prabowo, alongside Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, must now align their policy initiatives with the expectations of the Indonesian people. Throughout his political career, Prabowo has emphasized the importance of infrastructure and national security, making him a pivotal figure in Indonesia’s future growth trajectory.
Looking Ahead
As the political landscape evolves, the focus on technological advancement becomes increasingly vital for the country. Experts believe that the new administration’s approach toward digital transformation and innovation will significantly impact Indonesia’s economic stability and competitive standing in the global market.
Jokowi’s parting advice—to collaborate and strive for a cohesive society—sets a positive tone. "I am wishing good health and strength to President Prabowo in leading this country," he concluded, urging citizens to rally behind the new administration to further national progress.
