As speaker, Puan — a member of the PDI-P, the biggest party in parliament and the main party in the ruling coalition — was supposed to bring the bill to a plenary session of parliament for a vote.

While Megawati was elected as the PDI-P chair that year, Soeharto refused to recognise her accession and three years later, in 1996, the strongman tried to oust Megawati by using the military.
