Sanur, Bali (Antara Bali) - Megawati Soekarnoputri was reelected and installed as general chairperson of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) for the 2015 to 2020 term of office during the fourth congress of the party here on Thursday.
The reelection and inauguration as the PDIP general chairperson was carried out during the first session of the PDIP plenary meeting chaired by Frans Lebu Raya, the PDIP chairman for East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) branch.
The committee has chalked out a schedule wherein the Plenary Meeting I of the Congress will hear an accountability report of the 2010 to 2015 PDIP leadership, which would then be read by General Chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri, Acting Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto, and Chairperson Puan Maharani.
However, the congress participants simultaneously declared that there was no need to read the accountability report as they all accepted it.
Some even proclaimed their trust for Megawati who had been instrumental in leading the party to victory during the legislative and presidential elections in 2014.
As the congress forum requested that the accountability report should not be read, and the members were ready to accept it, so the chairman of the plenary meeting decided to accept the request after again seeking the audiences confirmation on their acceptance.
With the acceptance of the accountability report, the PDIPs executive board for the 2010-2015 period was declared decommissioned. Megawati, who was seating alongside the meetings chairman, was asked to stand up. After an agreement was reached in the congress forum, the plenary meeting chairman re-installed Megawati as the general chairperson of the PDIP for the 2015 to 2020 term of office.
"Because the national congress and assemblies across all levels have agreed to re-appoint me, I hereby accept this mandate," Megawati affirmed.
Thereafter, she was appointed following an oath-taking ceremony led by Frans Lebu Raya. (WDY)
