The one appointed to replace Widhyawan was Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa. Secretary-General of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Teguh Pamudji confirmed the proposal to change the position of OPEC Governor from Indonesia.
He said the proposal had been officially chosen by the Acting Minister (Acting) of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan. Teguh said that the proposal from the Indonesian government was not necessarily approved by OPEC but rather had to go through a series of processes that would begin at the end of November.

If the proposal is rejected then Widhyawan could still hold the position of OPEC Governor or ask the Government of Indonesia to nominate another candidate.
"If it is approved, the OPEC session will immediately be replaced. Inaugurated December 1, ".
