Speculation on Edy Rahmayadi’s Successor

The Military (TNI) Commander General Gatot Nurmantyo recently made another round of job rotations in the TNI affecting high-ranking officers and territorial commanders. Interestingly, the sitting Commander of the Army’s Strategic Reserves Command (Pangkostrad) Lt. Gen. Edy Rahmayadi, however, was not affected. People had begun speculating on who might be Edy’s successor because they believe Edy would retire early from the TNI following his plan to enter North Sumatera’s 2018 gubernatorial election.To subscribe please click here
