Hasto Kristiyanto was reappointed by Megawati to serve as Secretary General of the PDI-P.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Chairperson of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle or PDI-P Megawati Soekarnoputri has reappointed Hasto Kristiyanto as the party's secretary general for the 2025–2030 term. This appointment marks Hasto Kristiyanto's third term in that position.

The Central Leadership Council (DPP) of PDI-P for the 2025–2030 period held its inaugural plenary meeting on Thursday (14/8/2025). The plenary meeting was attended directly by the Chairperson of PDI-P, Megawati Soekarnoputri.

The Chairman of the Government and Regional Autonomy Division, Ganjar Pranowo, when contacted from Jakarta on Thursday (14/8/2025), confirmed that in the meeting, Hasto was re-elected by Megawati as the Secretary-General of PDI-P for the 2025-2030 term. "Yes," he replied briefly when asked if Hasto was re-elected as the Secretary-General of PDI-P.

Ganjar revealed that Megawati presided over Hasto's inauguration. "Yes (Megawati) directly inaugurated Hasto as PDI-P Secretary General," he said.

The Chairman of the Organizational Division of the DPP PDI-P, Andreas Hugo Pareira, confirmed the appointment of Hasto. The other names in the DPP PDI-P management structure for the 2025-2030 period remain the same as those already established during the VI PDI-P Congress in early August.

With the election of Hasto as the Secretary-General of PDI-P, the structure of the DPP PDI-P for the 2025-2030 period is now complete. In the congress, the position of Secretary-General is still held concurrently by Megawati.

Hasto Kristiyanto was actually appointed as the acting Secretary General (Plt) of PDI-P, replacing Tjahjo Kumolo who was appointed as Minister of Home Affairs in 2014. A year later, at the IV PDI-P Congress, this graduate of the Chemical Engineering Faculty of Gadjah Mada University was officially designated as the Secretary General of PDI-P for the 2015-2019 term.

That position was once again held by Hasto after the V Congress of PDI-P in 2019 confirmed the Doctor of Defense Science from the Defense University as the Secretary-General. He continued to hold that position until just before the VI Congress of PDI-P, which took place in early August.

The position of the secretary-general remains held even though since the end of 2024, Hasto must face legal proceedings by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in the case of alleged bribery related to the interim replacement of a member of the DPR for Harun Masiku.

In this case, he was previously convicted by the panel of judges of the Jakarta Corruption Court before being granted amnesty by President Prabowo. The amnesty was granted a day before the IV PDI-P Congress. After being released from detention, Hasto immediately attended the congress event.

However, at the end of the congress, his name had not been established as the secretary general. During the inauguration of the DPP PDI-P 2025-2030 management, the position of secretary general was still held concurrently by the Chairperson of PDI-P, Megawati Soekarnoputri.

During his two terms as secretary-general, Hasto became a close associate of Megawati. He often served as a bridge between Megawati and cadres at various levels, articulating Megawati's views while also securing the party's political line. In various strategic moments, Megawati entrusted Hasto to convey the party's official stance to the public.

Not only that, Hasto also frequently serves as a figure who regulates the rhythm of the party's political communication with President Prabowo's administration. In several statements, he emphasized the PDI-P's stance, which is critical yet constructive, while also highlighting that the relationship between Megawati and Prabowo has a historical dimension that could serve as a basis for cooperation.

Before entering the structure of the DPP PDI-P management, Hasto was also recorded as having been elected as a member of the DPR from 2004 to 2009 representing the electoral district of Ngawi, Magetan, Ponorogo, Pacitan, and Trenggalek in East Java. The man, born in Sleman, Yogyakarta on July 7, 1966, then served in Commission VI of the DPR, which focuses on trade, industry, investment, and cooperatives.

Only after the 2009 Election did Hasto then join the ranks of the management, holding the position of Deputy Secretary-General for Secretariat Affairs of the DPP PDI-P.

With the appointment of Hasto as the Secretary-General, the organizational structure of PDI-P is now complete. PDI-P now has until around early September to submit the organizational data to the Ministry of Law for validation.
