JAKARTA - Secretary of the National Campaign Team (TKN) Nusron Wahid believes Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD is not involved in the chaos of the issue of impeachment of President Joko Widodo.
He assessed Mahfud, who is also the former chairman of the Constitutional Court, is a constitutional law expert whose thoughts and behaviors rely on the constitution.
"He always stands above the constitutional corridor, because the issue of impeachment is tantamount to the constitution, especially if the impeachment is carried out, the President is not proven to have violated the basic law," Nusron said in response to reporters' questions reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, January 16.
Nusron assessed that Mahfud might not know that the community group he met would ask for the President's impeachment. "Maybe Mr. Mahfud didn't know that his discussion would lead to impeachment, I still think he was better off, ed.) to Mr. Mahfud," said Nusron.
The TKN secretary assessed that Mahfud finally continued the meeting because he respected his guests.
"Mr. Mahfud is a santri, if there is a term for respect for guests," said Nusron.
Apart from that, Nusron believes that those who raise the issue of impeachment are not ready for democracy.
"The issue is only conveyed by people who are not ready for democracy and are afraid to lose the election in this democratic era and are afraid of losing power," said Nusron Wahid.

During the meeting, they complained about several alleged election violations and brought the issue of impeachment.
