Besides Ichwan, City Council speaker Prasetio Edi Marsudi inaugurated four other councillors to replace former councillors who have resigned.

Wahyu and Jamaluddin, who used to represent Hanura, resigned to run for City Council seats on behalf of the Gerindra Party and the National Awakening Party (PKB) respectively.
Inggard Joshua has turned his back on NasDem to run on a Gerindra ticket for another term in the City Council. (vla)
