Jakarta, ThedailyID — President Prabowo Subianto has approved the design for Indonesia’s new political center in Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN), with construction targeted for completion by 2027.
The project will serve as the core of government activities in the new capital. It will include key state institutions such as the presidential palace, parliament buildings, and other strategic offices.
According to officials, the approved design reflects Indonesia’s long-term vision for a modern and integrated administrative center. Therefore, the development aims to support more efficient governance while strengthening national identity.
The government continues to push forward the relocation of the capital from Jakarta to East Kalimantan. This move seeks to reduce the burden on Jakarta and promote more balanced economic development across regions.
Moreover, the political center forms a crucial part of the broader IKN master plan. Authorities expect the area to become the main hub for policymaking and national administration once completed.
The project also aligns with ongoing infrastructure development in IKN. Roads, utilities, and supporting facilities are being built to ensure the new capital can operate effectively.
Officials emphasized that the 2027 target remains a priority. However, they will monitor progress closely to ensure construction stays on schedule.
In addition, the government continues to attract investment and strengthen coordination among agencies involved in the project. These efforts aim to accelerate development without compromising quality.
Overall, the approval marks a significant step in Indonesia’s capital relocation plan. Once completed, the new political center is expected to play a central role in shaping the country’s future governance.
