Speculation regarding Indonesia’s 2029 presidential election has emerged, with observers discussing potential candidate pairings. One discussed configuration involves Gibran Rakabuming Raka and Dedi Mulyadi, a duo that could potentially combine Javanese and Sundanese voter bases. Other projections suggest that Anies Baswedan remains a relevant figure who could potentially serve as a running mate for Gibran. In a separate development, Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka and Deputy Speaker of the House Sufmi Dasco Ahmad appeared together at an Amanat Nasional Party (PAN) event. Desi Hanafiah, National Coordinator of the Prabowo-Gibran Volunteer Alliance, stated that their interaction demonstrates “solid political communication” and serves to dismiss rumors regarding Dasco’s political affiliations, noting their relationship has remained consistent since the 2024 election. Legislative activity has progressed with the DPR RI Legislative Body (Baleg), led by Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, approving the Agrarian Reform Bill to proceed to a plenary session. The bill seeks to manage land rights and resolve agrarian conflicts through a state-led agency reporting to the President. The Legislative Body has now finalized discussions on the Agrarian Reform Regulation Bill (RUPRA), which consists of 14 chapters and 53 articles. During the process, the government submitted 596 items in a list of problems (DIM), resulting in 164 items remaining unchanged, 54 undergoing editorial revisions, 57 undergoing substantive changes, and 295 being removed. The final draft includes provisions for an agrarian reform agency under the President to oversee planning and implementation, while also outlining the determination of priority agrarian reform locations (LPRA) based on factors like land ownership inequality and poverty. Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning Nusron Wahid represented the government during the plenary meeting. Concurrently, the Constitutional Court (MK) has scheduled a hearing regarding a dispute over the 2024 Presidential Election.
