ESTIMATED70% CONFIDENCEEstimated: the January target was September 2026, but on 3 September 2026 CNN Indonesia[2] reported Governor Pramono is "menunggu arahan dari pemerintah pusat" (awaiting the central government's direction) rather than confirming it, and on 20 August he said "Ini kan pemerintah pusat.
