Dasco Responds to Rumours Regarding Replacement of TNI Commander

The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI), Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, stated that the House leadership has not yet received any letters concerning the replacement of the TNI Commander. This statement was made by Dasco in response to circulating rumours regarding a change in the military leadership.

“Oh, is the TNI Commander being replaced?” Dasco remarked at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, on Tuesday (6/10/2026), when questioned about the news.

When asked whether the news of the replacement was untrue, Dasco did not explicitly deny it. He only confirmed that no official letter has been received by the leadership of the House of Representatives.

“Up to this point, there has been no (official letter to the DPR),” said Dasco.

On the same occasion, Dasco also admitted that he was unaware of the rumours regarding a planned meeting between President Prabowo Subianto and the 7th President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo (Jokowi), which was rumoured to take place on Tuesday night.

Dasco noted that since the previous day, he had been occupied with DPR agendas, including the ratification of the Labour Protection Law during the plenary session of the House of Representatives.
