In accordance with APINDO’s Articles of Association and Bylaws, the elected chairman will immediately proceed with forming a complete management structure,” Mico said on Monday, June 8, 2026.

Andrie Meri, Chairman of the APINDO Regency/City Muskab Organizing Committee, explained that all stages of the Muskab had been conducted in accordance with APINDO’s Articles of Association and Bylaws, from the registration of prospective candidates and verification of eligibility requirements to the election process.

“Of the three prospective candidates who registered, only one met the requirements. Therefore, the Muskab participants unanimously elected Arkhan as chairman,” he explained.
