Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto, who is also the president-elect for the 2024-2029 term, accompanied President Joko Widodo to the swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected members of the House of Representatives (DPR) at the Nusantara Building, DPR/MPR complex, on Tuesday (October 1). Both leaders arrived together in the presidential car with the license plate RI 1. Jokowi exited from the left side of the vehicle, while Prabowo exited from the right.
Before heading to the DPR event, both leaders had attended the Pancasila Sanctity Day ceremony at the Pancasila Monument in Lubang Buaya, East Jakarta. They were dressed in matching formal attire, with Jokowi wearing a navy blue suit and 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.
Upon arrival, Jokowi and Prabowo were welcomed by DPR Secretary-General Indra Iskandar, exchanging handshakes, smiles, and greetings. They then walked side by side towards the Nusantara Building’s hallway to take a group photo with General Election Commission (KPU) Chair Afifuddin and several newly elected DPR, Regional Representative Council (DPD), and People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) members before proceeding together into the Kura-Kura Building.
