Jakarta (ANTARA) – The name of General (Ret.) Dudung Abdurrachman has emerged again after reportedly being summoned by President-elect Prabowo Subianto to his residence on Jalan Kertanegara IV, Jakarta, on Tuesday (15/10).
The former Army Chief of Staff (KSAD) is said to be filling one of the positions in the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka government cabinet, who will lead Indonesia after winning the 2024 presidential election.
