The branch management of the Indonesian Engineers Association (PII) Aceh Besar Regency successfully carried out the Branch Conference (Muscab) to elect a chairman democratically through a voting process.

Of this number, 23 active members were present to cast their votes, plus one vote from the Branch Management, bringing the total number of votes to 24.

The second plenary session, chaired by Ir. Derry Nurly, IPU, ASEAN.Eng, gave the opportunity to the two chairman candidates, namely Ir. Teuku Muhammad Zulfikar, ST, MP, IPU, and Ir.
