eneral Elections Commission (KPU) member Hadar Nafis Gumay was elected as the commission’s acting chairman on Tuesday, replacing Husni Kamil Malik, who passed away last week.
“The election [of Hadar] was agreed upon by all KPU commissioners,” KPU member Sigit Pamungkas said.
Hadar will manage administration until a definitive chairman is elected on July 18.
The role of the KPU chairman includes signing KPU regulation revisions and carrying responsibility for the commission’s budget. (ary)
