JAKARTA - The presidential impeachment took place in 2001 when Abdurrahman Wahid or Gus Dur was dismissed from his position as president. This issue re-emerged to the public accompanied by a 100 petition containing President Joko Widodo's impeachment, but there are still parties who are optimistic that if an impeachment occurs, the people will defend.

The secretary of TKN, Nusron Wahid believes that the Indonesian people will defend if there is a impeachment movement against President Joko Widodo. This was conveyed by Nusron at the TKN Media Center, Jakarta on Wednesday, January 17. He said that Jokowi would be defended by the people because Jokowi was the president of the people's choice through the 2019 election.

The Golkar Party politician also felt strange about the issue of Jokowi's impeachment. Moreover, it was accompanied by a petition 100 which was the originator of the issue, to visit Mahfud MD as Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs and Vice Presidential Candidate number 3.

According to Nusron, the MPR could not bring down the president before the case was brought to the Constitutional Court and was declared to have violated the 1945 Constitution. The member of the House of Representatives Commission VI assessed that there were parties who were afraid of losing the presidential election this time so that the party played the issue of impeaching President Jokowi and did not think democratically.

However, Nusron still puts his trust in Mahfud MD as Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs and believes that Mahfud will not be carried away by the flow of misleading issues. He also assessed that Mahfud MD is a constitutional law expert who knows the mechanism for impeachment. Watch the video below.
