Jihan Fahira follows in the footsteps of Primus Yustisio to become a politician. However, she chose to advance through the Regional Representative Council (DPD), not from a political party like her husband.
In this year's DPD member election contest, Jihan received a large number of votes and successfully elected as a member of the DPD RI. She also attended the inauguration ceremony for members of the DPR and DPD RI at the DPR RI Building, Senayan, and will be office-mates with her husband.
