PBB Partai Bulan Bintang Moon and Crescent Party This was one of the numerous parties established in the first few months following the resignation of President Soeharto. The party has sought to promote itself as the spirit of the old Masjumi, that is as the embodiment of Modernist Islam. The party’s first Chairman was Prof Yursil Ihza Mahendra, a constitutional lawyer and official with the State Secretariat. The party has sought to promote the traditionalist Islamist agenda of applying the Jakarta Charter as well as promotion of Syariah Laws within the wider legal system from national to local level. In practice the party has demonstrated greater political flexibility in terms of working with coalition partners from the political centre and even of having its Chairman operating as a minister in the Government led by PDIP’s Megawati Sukarnoputri. The party has competed in the parliamentary elections of 1999 and 2004. It will also compete in the 2009 elections. In the 1999 elections the party secured 2% of the vote, making it the 6 th largest party. The support base of the party was outside the Javanese heartland – central and eastern Java (2.6%) than in the Javanese heartland (0.9%). In terms of the breakdown between the Island of Java and off-Java the support was balanced. This indicates a stronger than average support for the party in western Java. The party’s strongest area of support was in the region of Bangka Belitung (which contains the home island of then party leader Prof Yusril Ihza Mahendra) where the party secured 10.6%. In West Sumatra, the party secured 5.9%. Other provinces in which the party produced above average results included South Kalimantan (4.1%), West Nusa Tenggara (3.8%), Southeast Sulawesi (3.6%) and the then province of West Java (3.5%). In the elections of 2004 the party increased its support to 2.6%. Its vote off-Java the party achieved a vote of 3.7% while on the Island of Java the party secured 1.9% of the vote. The party enhanced its vote most noticeably in the newly established province of Bangka Belitung, where the vote reached 21.4%. In the national parliamentary elections the party outpolled all other parties. In West Nusa Tenggara the party gained 11.6% coming second to Golkar in this province. Other provinces where the party secured over 5% of the vote was in Southeast Sulawesi (6.2%), West Sumatra (5.8%), Gorontalo (5.4%), Aceh (5.3%) and South Kalimantan (5.1%). In the Presidential elections of 2004, the party came out early as a supporter of the eventual winner, Dr Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. .

Friend - Wahid
Foreign Policy Research Institute E-Notes A Catalyst for Ideas Distributed via Email and Posted at www.fpri.org January 2010 ABDURRAHMAN WAHID, THE INDONESIAN REPUBLIC, AND DYNAMICS IN ISLAM By Theodore Friend Abdurrahman Wahid, known as Gus Dur, died on 30 December 2009 at the age of sixty-nine. The genial complexity of his character, which drew millions to him, was not adequate to the pressures of the presidency. But his life, career, and elements of caprice contain abundant clues for anyone who would understand modern Sufism, global Islam, and the Republic of Indonesia. Premises of a Republic Wahid was five years old in 1945 at the time of Indonesia’s revolutionary founding as a multi-confessional republic. Sukarno, in shaping its birth, supplied the five principles of its ideology: nationalism, international humanity, consensus democracy, social justice, and monotheism. Hatta, his major partner, helped ensure freedom of worship not only for Muslims but for Catholics and Protestants, Hindus and Buddhists, with Confucians much later protected under Wahid as president. The only thing you could not be as an Indonesian citizen was an atheist. Especially during and after the killings of 1965-66, atheism suggested that one was a communist. In this atmosphere, greatly more tolerant than intolerant, Wahid grew up, the son of the Minister of Religious Affairs under Sukarno, and grandson of a founder of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in 1926—a traditionalistic and largely peasant-oriented organization of Muslims, which now claims 40 million members. Wahid himself was elected NU’s chairman, 1984-1999, before becoming, by parliamentary election, President of the Republic, 1999-2001.

Parliamentary Team Visits M'sia Over Workers Issue
04 FEB 2002 Indon-Team PARLIAMENTARY TEAM VISITS M'SIA OVER WORKERS ISSUE JAKARTA, Feb 4 (Bernama) -- A five-member team of Indonesian parliamentarians flew to Kuala Lumpur this afternoon to appeal to the Malaysian government to relax its decision to reduce the number of Indonesian workers in the country. The team, led by a Deputy Speaker of the People's Representatives Assembly, Muhaimin Iskandar, comprises Sabam Sirait who is also head of the Inter-Parliamentary Committee, Bachrum Rasir, Happy Bone Zulkarnain and Posma Lumban Tobing. Muhaimin, who is responsible for parliamentary affairs on the people's welfare, told reporters before leaving for the Malaysian capital that during the two-day visit the team would hold discussion with Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Syed Hamid Albar. He was confident that with the close working relationship between the parliaments of the two neighbouring countries, an amicable solution to the problem could be reached. Indonesia had been worried by Malaysia's drastic action in deporting thousands of its workers as this could put pressure on unemployment at home where almost 40 million people are already without jobs. The move was prompted by a series of criminal incidents involving Indonesian workers, the latest being the violent riot at a textile factory hostel in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, and the fight among themselves in Cyberjaya. Indonesia has not only apologised for the rampage but also appealed to Malaysia to continue giving Indonesia priority in its recruitment of foreign workers. Displaying concern over the issue, President Megawati Sukarnoputri last Friday sent Justice and Human Rights Minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra as her emissary to discuss matters affecting Indonesdian workers.

Asia Pacific Bulletin EastWestCenter.org/APB Number 266 | June 5, 2014 The Indonesian Presidential Election: Now a Real Horse Race? BY ALPHONSE F. LA PORTA The startling about-face of Indonesia’s second largest political party, Golkar, which is also the legacy political movement of deposed President Suharto, to bolt from a coalition with the front-runner Joko Widodo, or “Jokowi,” to team up with the controversial retired general Prabowo Subianto, raises the possibility that the forthcoming July 9 presidential election will be more than a public crowning of the populist Jokowi. Alphonse F. La Porta, former Golkar, Indonesia’s second largest vote-getter in the April 9 parliamentary election, made President of the US-Indonesia its decision on May 19 based on the calculus by party leaders that Golkar’s role in Society, explains that “With government would better be served by joining with a strong figure like Prabowo rather more forthcoming support from than Widodo, who is a neophyte to leadership on the national level. Thus a large coalition of parties fronted by the authoritarian-minded Prabowo will now be pitted against the the top level of the PDI-P, it is smaller coalition of the nationalist Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), which had just possible that Jokowi could selected former vice president Jusuf Kalla, nominally of Golkar, as Jokowi’s running mate. achieve the 44 percent plurality If this turn of events sounds complicated, it is—even for Indonesian politics. But first a look some forecast in the presidential at some of the basics: election, but against Prabowo’s rising 28 percent, the election is Indonesia’s fourth general election since Suharto’s downfall in 1998 has marked another increasingly becoming a real— milestone in Indonesia’s democratization journey.

SEBASTIAN 2 Institute for Defence and Strategic Studies (IDSS), Singapore DATE: October 2004 September 20 marked the end of a momentous year for Indonesian politics concluding a third leg of a series of elections with an array of electoral formats which began in April ranging from an open list proportional system for the House of People’s Representatives and the House of Regional People’s Representatives; a single non-transferable vote system for new Regional Representatives Council and culminating with two round majoritarian system for the presidential election. Being the third largest democracy after the USA and India, Indonesia’s election mechanism is complex and required significant voter education initiatives to socialize the new election format. The general elections held on 5 April was for a fully elected House of People’s Representatives (DPR, Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat), the House of Regional People’s Representatives (DPRD, Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah) or the regional assemblies at the provincial and district level and the new Regional Representatives Council (DPD, Dewan Perwakilan Daerah).

Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 tentang Pemilihan Umum sebagai produk politik hukum justru tidak menempatkan para kandidat yang akan bertarung dalam Pemilihan Presiden dan Wakil Presiden Tahun 2019 dalam posisi yang adil dan setara. Petahana lebih diuntungkan sehingga menimbulkan ambigu kepentingan. Sehingga, keadilan substansial sebagai bagian dari demokrasi yang sesungguhnya cenderung diabaikan demi kekuasaan. Tulisan ini menggunakan pendekatan studi literatur. Bias kepentingan tersebut bisa dihindari dengan menempatkan regulasi dengan setara dan adil. Perlu ada revisi terhadap UU No.7 Tahun 2017 sehingga petahana yang akan mencalonkan diri kembali sebagai capres atau cawapres mengundurkan diri dari jabatannya. Hal ini untuk menjaga asas keadilan dalam proses pemilu 2019 dan menjaga agar ambigu kepentingan tidak digunakan untuk memperoleh kekuasaan.

This is open access article under the CC-BY-NC 4.0 International License The Legal Politics of Recall Right of Political Parties Relevance with the System of Popular Sovereignty In Dynamics of the Constitution of Indonesia Malicia Evendiaa,*, Armen Yasirb, Yulia Netac, Ade Arif Firmansyahd a,b,c,dFaculty of Law Lampung University, Lampung, Indonesia *e-mail : [email protected] Abstract: The existence of regulation of recall rights of political parties as regulated in Law No. 17 of 2014 and Law No. 2 of 2008 bring a great influence on the position of legislative members. Based on these rules, legislators may be dismissed from their positions if proposed by Political Party. This certainly brings a polemic for the people as the sovereign owner, who have chosen their representatives through the electoral process, but when chosen representatives of the people can be dismissed from his position by a political parties through the mechanism of the right of recall. This research was done by doctrinal method approach as well as the use of the statute, historical, and conceptual approach. This results showed that the legal politics of recall right of political parties is actually only used as an instrument of the political parties in controlling its members in parliament in order to always adhere to the party's policy direction. This makes the recall right political party is legal products that characterized conservative or orthodox. The existence of a political party's recall rights order gives a great authority to the political parties to negate the result of the people's choice as the holder of sovereignty for the sake of the political party.
