Basuki Hadimuljono has officially taken on the role of Head of the Nusantara Capital Authority (IKN). He was sworn in by President Prabowo Subianto at the State Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. His appointment as Head of the IKN Authority is based on Presidential Decree Number 151B of 2024 regarding the appointment of the Head of the Nusantara Capital Authority. The inauguration process began with the reading of the presidential decree concerning his appointment. This was followed by the oath-taking ceremony led by Prabowo, concluding with the signing of the minutes by both Basuki and Prabowo. It's worth noting that Basuki, who previously served as the Minister of Public Works and Housing, had been acting as the Interim Head of the IKN Authority since June 3, 2024, after Bambang Susantono stepped down from the position.
