The Badung DPRD will subsequently propose the inauguration of the Adi-Cipta pair to the Minister of the Interior through the Governor of Bali. “We need to consult with the Bali Provincial Government as a representative of the central government,” Anom added.
According to Anom, a special plenary session will be held after the inauguration of the elected couple. He estimated that the inauguration could be done on February 10, 2025, although the schedule was definitely still waiting for confirmation.
“We have prepared steps for the Special Session. Usually after the inauguration is only a special session. We are still waiting for further information in the framework of this preparation,” he explained.
The Adi-Cipta couple, which was carried by PDIP, Democrats, the United Nations, Perindo, and Gelora Party, succeeded in winning the Badung 2024 Pilbup with 221,802 valid votes. The former Secretary of Badung and the former member of the Bali DPRD is just waiting for the inauguration to start their duties for the next five years.
