Adies Kadir confirmed that he would take steps to resign from the panel or assembly of the Constitutional Court if he handled cases that could potentially cause conflicts of interest, including if they were related to the Golkar Party.

He made the statement after taking the oath of office as a Constitutional Court judge at the State Palace, Thursday, February 5.

"If it is related to being considered to have a conflict of interest, the judge will automatically resign from the panel or panel. Yes, I will also take such a step if there are cases related to the Golkar Party," said Adies.

This attitude has been one of the highlights since Adies came to the Constitutional Court from the political track. When asked about his election process in the DPR, Adies did not answer the substance.

He asked that the question be directed to the DPR because, according to him, Commission III was carrying out a feasibility and appropriateness test and then the results were decided through a plenary meeting.

"Later, please ask the leadership of Commission III and the leadership of the DPR. I just follow the process," he said.

Adies also denied his alleged involvement in discussing laws that could potentially be tested at the Constitutional Court. He said the Election Law was discussed in Commission II, while he admitted that he had never been a member of Commission II or attended its discussions, including at Baleg.

"Regarding the Election Law, I never know how the decision-making process is," he said.

Regarding the TNI Law, Adies stated that the discussion was in Commission I and Baleg. He reiterated that he had never been in Commission I and admitted that he did not know the decision-making process for the draft law.

"I never knew anything, I didn't know," he said.

Adies said his task at the Constitutional Court, according to the law, is to maintain and interpret the constitution and maintain the ideology of the state. "This is what I will have to carry out regarding the constitution and the ideology of the state," he said.
