Jakarta — Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto, who is also the president-elect for the 2024-2029 term, accompanied President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to the inauguration ceremony of the recently elected members of the House of Representatives (DPR) at the Nusantara Building, DPR/MPR complex, on Tuesday (October 1).
Prabowo and Jokowi arrived together in the presidential car bearing the license plate RI 1. Jokowi got out from the left side of the vehicle, while Prabowo stepped out from the right.
Both leaders had previously attended the Pancasila Sanctity Day ceremony at the Pancasila Monument in Lubang Buaya, East Jakarta, before going to the DPR event together.
Dressed in similar formal attire, Jokowi wore a navy blue suit with a red tie, while Prabowo wore a black suit with a gray tie featuring white stripes. Both also wore black peci caps and a red-and-white flag pin on the left side of their chest.
When they arrived, Jokowi and Prabowo were greeted by DPR Secretary-General Indra Iskandar, exchanging handshakes, smiles, and greetings.
The two leaders then walked together towards the hallway of the Nusantara Building to take a group photo with General Election Commission (KPU) Chair Afifuddin, along with several newly elected DPR, Regional Representative Council (DPD), and People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) members, before proceeding together into the Kura-Kura Building.
