JAKARTA - The decision of the Jakarta State Administrative Court (PTUN) which rejected the plaintiff's lawsuit in case No. 444/G/2025/PTUN.JKT is considered to further confirm the validity of the Decree (SK) of the Minister of Law which ratified the leadership of H. Muhamad Mardiono as the General Chairman of the DPP of the United Development Party (PPP) for the period 2025-2030.
The Legal Representative of the PPP DPP, Erfandi, expressed appreciation and respect for the decision of the panel of judges. According to him, the court's decision must be respected and obeyed by all parties.
"As a legal person, I respect and appreciate the decision of the PTUN panel of judges who rejected the plaintiff's lawsuit in case 444/G/2025/PTUN.JKT," Erfandi told reporters, Tuesday (23/6/2026).
Erfandi explained that in the rule of law, the principle of res judicata pro veritate habetur is known, namely the judge's decision must be considered correct. In addition, there is also the rule of hukmul qodi yarfa'ul khilaf which means that the judge's decision ends the differences of opinion or disputes that occur in the community.
"Therefore, this judge's decision must be respected. There is no longer a difference of opinion on the Minister of Law Decree which has appointed Mr. Muhamad Mardiono as the Chairman of the PPP. This decision is also erga omnes, so it must be respected and followed by all parties," he said.
According to Erfandi, the PTUN's decision strengthens the legal legitimacy of the DPP PPP management led by Muhamad Mardiono. Thus, all policies and decisions of the organization that have been and will be taken by the General Chair have a valid legal basis.
"This decision confirms the validity of the Minister of Law Decree which has ratified the leadership of our client, Mr. H. Muhamad Mardiono, as the General Chairman of the PPP for the period 2025-2030. In this context, the principle of praesumptio iustae causa applies, which means that the decision of a state official must be considered valid and applicable until there is a legal decision to cancel it," explained Erfandi.
Furthermore, Erfandi expressed gratitude for the verdict. According to him, this victory is inseparable from the support, cooperation, and prayers of all PPP cadres in various regions.
"This victory is the result of the cooperation and prayers of all PPP cadres throughout Indonesia who continue to maintain solidarity and togetherness in building the party," he concluded.
The victory in this case adds to a series of court rulings that strengthen the legal legitimacy of the PPP DPP under the leadership of Muhamad Mardiono, as well as providing legal certainty for all cadres in continuing the consolidation and agenda of the party organization.
