JAKARTA - Member of the House of Representatives and Deputy Chairperson of the United Development Party (PPP) Arsul Sani will resign from the party if he is later elected as a judge of the Constitutional Court (MK).

Arsul is one of seven candidates for constitutional judges who underwent a fit and proper test at Commission III of the DPR today.

The Deputy Chairperson of the MPR from the PPP faction said that his resignation from PPP was a consequence of the mandate of the law. Where constitutional judges are not allowed to become party members.

"First, I am certainly grateful to be given the opportunity by Commission III of the DPR to be able to participate in the selection process for prospective constitutional judges in the Constitutional Court. If for example I am elected, the consequences are to quit the DPR, resign as chairman of the MPR, resign as a party member," said Arsul, Tuesday, September 26.

"Because the Constitutional Court Law states that the Constitutional Court judge should not be a member of a political party and should not be a state official, yes, it must be obeyed, so we have accepted it," he continued.

However, Arsul admitted, for his intention to make the Constitutional Court better, he would be relieved to release all positions attached to him. Both as members of the legislature and elite political parties.

"But once again, my intention is that our state institutions will get better and better, not then each of them will show their respective sectoral egos or central egos. And my desire, hopefully, can contribute so that then there will be no tensions between state institutions that occur, because for example the Constitutional Court's decision," said Arsul Sani.
