8,000+ Personnel Deployed to Secure Prabowo's State Address
Indonesia deploys more than 8,000 security personnel to secure President Prabowo Subianto's state address at Parliament in Jakarta.
Tempo reports that 8,095 security personnel have been deployed to ensure the safety of President Prabowo Subianto's state address at the Parliament Complex in Senayan, Jakarta, on Friday, August 14, 2026. Central Jakarta Police Chief Senior Commissioner Reynold E. P. Hutagalung announced the deployment, stating that the personnel were stationed around Senayan to prevent any disruptions.
The security operation began at 5:30 a.m. local time, with police managing traffic and monitoring roads leading to the DPR/MPR Complex. Puan Maharani, DPR Speaker, said the annual session, which was traditionally held on August 16, was moved to Friday due to the holiday falling on a weekend. Prabowo is set to deliver two speeches before Parliament, one during the Annual Session of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) and the other during a plenary session of the House of Representatives (DPR).
