Merdeka.com – The National Council of Party Party Mandate will reposition Taufik Kurniawan as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives. The secretary general of the PDP, PAN Eddy Soeparno, however, hesitated to speculate on the emergence of the name Hanafi Rais replacing Taufik.

"I do not know where the speculation is (Hanafi Rais as vice-president of the House of Representatives) and of course I can not confirm it because we have not yet conducted the technical discussions", said Eddy after witnessing Ulama Command's declaration to win Prabowo / Pbadword Jakarta, Sunday (4/11). As reported by Antara.

According to Eddy, decisions will be made collectively at the NAP PDP level. According to him, Taufik's replacement, who will serve as Speaker of the House of Representatives, is a senior official who has proven himself in the Legislative Assembly and is committed to the parties and the coalition.
