This decision brings an end to a period of uncertainty for the PMI, allowing the organization to refocus on its vital humanitarian work.

Indonesia’s Vice Presidency Dispute Resolved

A long-awaited decision has settled the dispute over Indonesia’s vice presidency. Law minister Supratman Andi Agtas made the announcement on Friday, confirming that the ministry had rejected challenger Agung Laksono’s claim to the position. This decision followed a thorough review of requests submitted by both Laksono and the incumbent vice president, Kalla. Both contenders had urged the ministry to acknowledge their respective claims to the vice presidency. With the ministry’s ruling, the political landscape in Indonesia gains clarity regarding the nation’s leadership.

PMI Leadership Transition

The Project Management Institute (PMI) is preparing for a leadership transition. After a successful tenure as chairman since 2009, kalla will be stepping down from his position. During the organization’s recent national meeting, Kalla emerged as the sole candidate for the chairmanship, indicating a smooth succession process within the PMI.

PMI Leadership Election: A close Call

The recent election for leadership of the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) saw a surprising challenge to the incumbent president. Agung Laksono, an outsider not affiliated with the organization, threw his hat into the ring, hoping to unseat the existing leader. However, Laksono’s bid ultimately fell short. PMI regulations stipulate that a candidate must secure the backing of at least 20 percent of PMI members by the opening day of the national meeting. Laksono was unable to rally enough support to meet this threshold.

A Contested Election?

The unsuccessful challenge by Laksono highlights the competitive nature of PMI leadership elections and the meaning of securing widespread member support.

In a resounding display of confidence, kalla secured re-election by acclamation. This overwhelming endorsement came from a majority of executives representing regional offices.
