SURAKARTA, KOMPAS —Muslim organization Muhammadiyah is expected to continue its controlling role over the government. Support for the post-2024 election government being predicted to strengthen formal institutions, such as the legislative body, is believed to be weakening its scrutinizing role over the government.

Meanwhile, civil society will not get consolidated properly enough to take optimal controlling roles.
