Jakarta, LiterasiHukumCom – Dynamics political internal to the United Development Party (PPP) are heating up after the Chairman of the Party's Advisory Council, Muhammad Romahurmuziy (Rommy), firmly denied Muhammad Mardiono's claim that he was elected by acclamation as Chairman of the PPP for the 2025-2030 period. According to Rommy, the claim circulating on Saturday night (27/9) was untrue because the 10th PPP Congress process was still ongoing until late at night and had not yet reached the stage of determining the chairman.
"It is not true that Mardiono was elected, let alone by acclamation," Rommy said in his official statement, Sunday (28/9).
Rommy highlighted that the news regarding Mardiono's election by acclamation appeared around 21:22 WIB, even though the Congress was still running until 22:30 WIB. He called the claim an attempt to divide the party.
"The news around 21:22 WIB which stated that Mardiono was elected by acclamation is false, a unilateral claim, irresponsible, and an attempt to divide the United Development Party," he asserted.
Furthermore, Rommy revealed that the atmosphere inside the Congress actually showed rejection of Mardiono's leadership. He mentioned shouts for Mardiono to step down and calls for change within the PPP. This, he said, makes the claim of acclamation unreasonable.
"Thus, it is not logical that the overwhelming rejection of Mardiono's leadership would end with Mardiono being elected by acclamation," he said.

Previously, on Saturday night, the Acting Chairman of the PPP, Muhammad Mardiono, stated that he had been elected by acclamation. He claimed that the decision was taken as an emergency measure to save the course of the Congress. Mardiono also mentioned that around 80 percent of the total Congress participants approved of this quick step by electing the chairman by acclamation. Until now, the polemic regarding leadership in the Kaaba-symbol party has not yet found a bright spot.
