Jakarta (Antara Bali) -
Ade Komarudin, senior politician of Golkar Party was sworn in as House
Speaker at a plenary meeting of the House of Representatives (DPR) on
Monday, replacing Setya Novanto.
Setya Novanto, who is also from Golkar, stepped down in disgrace as
House Speaker after the House Ethic Council found him guilty of
violation of ethical code.
Komarudin who was born in Purwakarta, West Java on May 20, 1965, joined the House of Representatives (DPR) since 1997.
Komarudin was proffered by Golkar Executive Board as the results of
the party`s National Conference in Bali, with its general chairman
Aburizal Bakrie or ARB.
Agung Laksono was elected general chairman of rival faction in a
congress in Ancol, North Jakarta, after earlier in Bali the other
faction elected incumbent Aburizal Bakrie to lead the party for another
five years.
Previously the government recognized only the party under Agung
Laksono but the court ordered for the cancellation of the decision,
leaving the party without legal leadership.
Aburizal Bakrie and his followers held a meeting in Bali recently
and decided to reject the idea of holding congress before 2019. (WDY)
