Adies Kadir arrived at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, ahead of the oath-taking as Constitutional Court (MK) Judge in front of President Prabowo Subianto.
Based on ANTARA's monitoring, Adies arrived at the Presidential Palace at 15.27 WIB, wearing a black suit, a light blue tie, and a black turban. His arrival was immediately greeted by Constitutional Court Secretary General Heru Setiawan.
After that, Adies immediately rushed into the inner area of the Palace without giving any statement to the journalists who had been waiting.
Adies only smiled while clasping his hands towards the reporters.
It is known that Adies Kadir became a Constitutional Court Judge to replace Constitutional Judge Arief Hidayat who entered retirement.
Previously, the Constitutional Court had respectfully dismissed Constitutional Judge Arief Hidayat who entered retirement during the graduation ceremony for post-service at the Constitutional Court (MK) Plenary Session I Building, Jakarta, Wednesday (4/1).
In the retirement ceremony, the Secretary-General of the Constitutional Court, Heru Setiawan, read a passage from the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia Number 9/P Year 2026 concerning the Dismissal and Appointment of Constitutional Judges submitted by the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR RI).
"Deciding, determining and so on, to one, respectfully dismissing Prof. Dr. Arief Hidayat S.H., M.S. as a Constitutional Judge effective February 3, 2026, accompanied by words of thanks for his dedication and services during his tenure," said Heru reading the excerpt from Presidential Decree No. 9/P regarding the dismissal of Arief Hidayat.
Meanwhile, the nomination of Adies Kadir as a Constitutional Court judge was approved by the Indonesian House of Representatives in the 12th Plenary Meeting of the III Session of the 2025-2026 Session in Jakarta, on January 27, 2026. The Indonesian House of Representatives approved Adies Kadir, who was previously the Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives, as a Constitutional Judge at the Constitutional Court (MK) from the Indonesian House of Representatives.
The same meeting also agreed to revoke the DPR RI Decree Number 11/DPR/1/2025-2026 concerning the DPR's approval of the replacement of constitutional judges, who had previously nominated Inosentius Samsul.
Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Saan Mustopa, after the plenary meeting, explained that the DPR RI decided to submit Adies Kadir as a Constitutional Justice because Adies holds the title of professor and doctorate in law.
In addition, Saan said that Adies, throughout his career in Senayan, has always been a member of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives which deals with legal affairs, so that Adies is believed to have experience and a track record that is qualified to carry out the mandate as a Constitutional Justice.
