The NASDEM party rejected the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK), which simultaneously shares universal elections (elections). Innem said that the Constitutional Court performed the theft of the sovereignty of the people through a decision.
“With this decision, the Constitutional Court makes the theft of the sovereignty of the people,” said the member of the Supreme Council of Nasdem Lestari Murdijat at a press conference in Tower, Central Jakarta, on Monday (30/30/2025).
He said that the Constitutional Court was not given the authority to change the norms in the 1945 Constitution. For this reason, the decision of the Constitutional Court, related to the separation of the simultaneous elections, contradicted the 1945 Constitution.
“Thus, the decision of the Constitutional Court, related to a change in the regional initial elections, and DPRD exceeded the 5 -year election period, consisted in the fact that the unconstitutional contradictions of Article 22B of the 1945 Constitution,” said Lestari.
Lestari said that the decision of the Constitutional Court can lead to a constitutional crisis, even a constitutional impasse. Because if the decision of the Constitutional Court is implemented, it can lead to violations of the Constitution.
Article 22E of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia of 1945 states that simultaneous elections are held every five years. While in the decision of the Constitutional Court, national and regional elections were carried out separately with the maximum time in two years or a maximum of two years and six months.
“Thus, when after 5 years, the DPRD period has not been any CRD elections, there was a constitutional violation,” said Lestari.
