- Deputy Speaker Saan Mustopa said 120 lawmakers from eight parliamentary factions had signed the proposal, exceeding the minimum submission requirement.
- The proposal must first go through House leadership and agenda-setting meetings before being forwarded to a plenary session.
JAKARTA, Indonesianpost.com — Indonesia’s House of Representatives plans to hold a plenary session, Deputy Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad told reporters.
Dasco said, however, that he had not yet checked the session’s agenda.
House leaders are also expected to present a proposal to exercise the chamber’s right to express an opinion, known by the Indonesian abbreviation HMP, concerning the controversy surrounding Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
“A plenary session is planned, but I haven’t checked what’s on the agenda yet,” Dasco said.
The proposal concerning Gibran is expected to be brought before the plenary session on November 12.
Deputy Speaker Saan Mustopa said the proposal had met the minimum submission requirements, with support from 120 lawmakers representing eight parliamentary factions.
That figure far exceeds the minimum requirement of 25 lawmakers drawn from more than one faction.
“Based on the documents we have compiled, there are 120 signatories. That exceeds the minimum requirement under the applicable rules,” Saan told reporters at the parliamentary complex in Senayan, Jakarta, on November 11, 2026.
He said House leaders would first process the proposal through a leadership meeting and a meeting of the House’s agenda-setting body, known as Bamus, or a consultation meeting convened in its place. The proposal would then be forwarded to the next plenary session.
Asked whether the proposal would be brought before the plenary session on November 12, Saan confirmed that it would.
“Everything will be brought forward tomorrow,” he said. [Inilah/Bilah]
