The inauguration ceremony was started on 15:30 local time (08:30
UTC), 60 minutes later than scheduled. It was held as a
People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) parliamentary session and was led by
its speaker Bambang Soesatyo. As the inauguration was held in a Sunday, the assembly decided to push forward the session starting time, which usually held at 10:00 local time. The reasons were to give Christians and Buddhists to attend their respective religious service. It was also intended to not interrupt the weekly car free day held near the venue at the morning to noon with road closures; the car free day event was cancelled anyway. Unlike the
previous inauguration, cultural parades were not held. The event's security involved 31,000 personnel from the
Indonesian National Police and the
Indonesian National Armed Forces. ==Guests==
