  • Vacancies arose due to members taking on new roles or leaving, impacting the council's completeness and work capacity.
  • The council aims to finalize all administrative processes and inaugurations by June 29, 2026, restoring its full membership of 45 people.

The Temanggung Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) is set to fill vacant seats through inter-term replacements (PAW) for members from the United Development Party (PPP) and Golkar Party. This process aims to restore the council's full membership and operational capacity, which has been affected by the departures of several key figures.

However, there was a decision from the Central Leadership Board (DPP) of PPP which carried out the dismissal and recommended Siamin as a replacement.

For the PPP, a vacancy occurred when Nadia Muda became the Deputy Regent of Temanggung. While Nur Rofik, who received the most votes, was expected to fill the position, a decision from the PPP's Central Leadership Board (DPP) appointed Siamin instead. This internal party decision dictates that Siamin, who ranked third in vote acquisition, will replace Nadia Muda, adhering to the party's internal legal basis for the PAW process.

The Golkar Party also has a vacant seat that has been empty for approximately one year. The member in question, Ishadi, previously served as the Deputy Chairman of Commission B and the Chairman of the Golkar Party Faction. Chairman of the Temanggung DPRD, Yunianto, stated that these vacancies "undoubtedly disrupt the completeness and work capacity of the DPRD." He expressed hope for the swift completion of the PAW process to ensure the legislative body can function optimally.

This condition undoubtedly disrupts the completeness and work capacity of the DPRD.

Yunianto confirmed that all administrative procedures and inaugurations are targeted for completion by June 29, 2026. Once the new members are inaugurated, the Temanggung DPRD will return to its full strength of 45 members. The incoming members will also be assigned roles within the council's working groups, mirroring the positions held by those they replace, thereby ensuring continuity and efficiency in the legislative body's functions.

Alhamdulillah, God willing, on June 29, 2026, this entire process will be completed.
