Hunting for Acting Regional Heads

A number of House Commission II members said they were also frequently approached by ASNs who were eyeing a position as acting head.

Holding the strategic position of secretary in the United Development Party (PPP) faction at the House of Representatives (DPR) as well as the party vice chairman, Baidowi has become the "target" of lobbyists advocating for state civil servants (ASN) seeking to become acting regional heads.

With his strategic position, Baidowi is considered capable of influencing the Home Ministry, the authority that determines the acting heads of regional administrations.
