The selection is being held simultaneously across Indonesia to identify the best cadres.

“This is a test for prospective KDMP managers for the whole of Indonesia. Here, of course, we are looking for cadres for East Nusa Tenggara,” said the Vice Governor of East Nusa Tenggara, Johni Asadoma, on Monday (11/6/2026) in Kupang.

According to him, Purwadi Arianto’s visit, along with his deputy staff, aims to ensure readiness as well as directly monitor the implementation of the selection in NTT.

“Today, we received a special visit from Mr Purwadi along with Mr Deputy and several staff to directly see how the readiness and implementation of this cooperative managers’ test is,” said Johni.

Meanwhile, the Deputy for Civil Servant Information Systems at BKN, Jumiati, explained that the selection process has been ongoing since 4 to 12 May 2026. Specifically in the NTT region, the number of participants taking the test reaches around 11,000 people.

“The participants are approximately 11,000 in the NTT region alone,” said Jumiati.

She added that the need for KDMP managers is national in scope, so it is not limited by specific regions. The monitoring of the selection was conducted at Graha Poltekkes Kupang. After the inspection, Purwadi Arianto did not provide any statements to the media.
