MPR's Plan to Relocate to IKN: Siti Fauziah Says It Depends on President's Directive
The leadership of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) of the Republic of Indonesia conducted a working visit to the Nusantara Capital (IKN), East Kalimantan, on Monday (20/4/2026). This was to review infrastructure readiness while discussing plans for relocating the institution to the new capital.
Acting Secretary General of the MPR RI, Siti Fauziah, stated that the visit was attended by MPR leaders, faction leaders, and leaders of MPR’s supporting bodies.
“The aim is to inspect the MPR site, airport readiness, toll roads, and various other preparations related to the MPR’s relocation plan to IKN,” said Siti in her statement on Tuesday (21/4/2026).
She emphasised that the relocation plan for state institutions, including the MPR, is still awaiting the President’s directive. According to her, the transfer of civil servants (ASN) from legislative, executive, and judicial elements will occur only after all infrastructure is declared ready.
“If we relocate, it depends on the President’s directive. The key is that once it’s ready, we will transfer the ASN,” she said.
During the visit, the MPR delegation landed at Nusantara International Airport to check the readiness of air transport facilities and continued inspections to several strategic points, such as the office of the Nusantara Capital Authority (OIKN) and the MPR area site.
At the OIKN office, the MPR leadership delegation received a presentation on the development progress of the area.
“There, we viewed a presentation on IKN’s development progress. After that, we also inspected the MPR site to see how far the progress has come,” said Siti.
Additionally, the delegation reviewed several supporting facilities such as the state mosque and health facilities that have been prepared in the IKN area.
Regarding the construction of the MPR building in IKN, Siti mentioned that the basic concept and initial design have actually been prepared since 2022. However, several adjustments are still possible to align with current needs.
“A rough outline and detailed room designs are already in place; they just need to be adjusted to current requirements,” she said.
She also acknowledged efficiency factors in the construction but still considered the strategic needs for the relocation to IKN.
“Efficiency is indeed a factor, but the relocation needs are also there. So, it will be adjusted accordingly,” she concluded.
For additional information, this visit was led by MPR RI Chairman Ahmad Muzani along with MPR Deputy Chairmen Bambang Wuryanto, Rusdi Kirana, Hidayat Nur Wahid, and Eddy Soeparno.
