Muhammadiyah urges MPR to quickly pick Gibran's replacement

PP Muhammadiyah Chairman Anwar Abbas urged MPR RI to quickly select and appoint a vice presidential replacement after Gibran Rakabuming Raka's resignation letter was formalized. In Jakarta on Thursday, Anwar said the transition is important so political and economic turmoil can ease quickly. He said a more stable environment would help President Prabowo Subianto focus on development and on combating corruption, which he described as increasingly worrying. Anwar also said he hopes Prabowo uses the remainder of his term to resolve economic and social problems, and to replace ministers he считает do not support the government's vision. He cited Articles 33 and 34 of the 1945 Constitution on the national economy and social welfare.
