Akhera backs Suyudi’s transfer of 199 police personnel
Aliansi Kehendak Rakyat, known as Akhera, has backed a transfer of 199 personnel within Indonesia’s National Police.
The move was ordered by police chief General Suyudi Ario Seto and set out in a telegram dated October 10, 2026.
It involves senior and mid-ranking officers, including changes to the posts of deputy chief of intelligence, traffic police chief and three provincial police chiefs.
Akhera says the changes are intended to improve the police institution, not to be treated as a rushed process.
The group hopes they will improve service to the public and restore trust in the police.
No further steps or timetable are given.
Akhera backed a transfer of 199 police personnel carried out under National Police Chief Suyudi Ario Seto.
The transfers were set out in Police Chief Telegram Letter No. ST/2251/X/KEP/2026, dated 10 October 2026.
Akhera coordinator Heru Purwoko said the changes should improve police services and help restore public trust.
The transfers involved senior and middle-ranking officers and included several strategic posts.
