JAKARTA - Chairman of the Central Leadership Council of the Indonesian Reform Youth (DPP AMPI) Jerry Sambuaga confirmed that the expanded plenary meeting activities in the name of AMPI were illegal. He stated that the expanded plenary meeting forum held on July 30, 2026 did not have a basis for organizational rules.
Jerry emphasized that AMPI is a large organization of youth cadres who have clear, complete and binding rules of play or AD/ART as guidelines for the organization's work to run orderly.
"I want to emphasize that AMPI is a large youth organization, of course, has written rules of the game that bind all parties. So it's not appropriate for a forum that is made up of its own, then a unilateral claim that is imposed as if it were an organizational decision," said Jerry in his statement, Friday, July 31.
Jerry emphasized that the activity that named the plenary meeting extended to July 30, 2026 was illegal, because the meeting in the name of AMPI was held without any organizational basis and without any legitimacy from the AMPI DPP as the highest authority holder of the organization at the central level.
"Whatever the decisions that result from the forum are clearly not binding and have no basis in the legal strength of the organization in AMPI," he said.
Then, regarding the illegal decision to expand the plenary meeting which stated that the AMPI chairman was dismissed, Jerry said the AMPI chairman could not be dismissed through the mechanism of an expanded plenary meeting.
He revealed that what was conveyed in the illegal forum of the expanded plenary meeting was not known at all in the AMPI Organization Regulation (PO) on organizational discipline and sanctions.
"Everything is clear and firm in the PO at AMPI, where there are stages, it is not appropriate to make decisions on their own. This means that if they take shortcuts outside the rules of the organization, it is not the enforcement of organizational discipline, but they are violating the organization itself," he said.
In addition, continued Jerry, the parties who initiated and were involved in the plenary meeting activities were also no longer part of the DPP AMPI management.
"Using the name of the organization and claiming the authority of the manager, even though its own organizational status is no longer attached, further confirms that the forum does not have any legitimacy to speak or make decisions on behalf of AMPI," he explained.
Jerry said that this attitude was to keep the organization from being controlled by forums created outside the legal rules of a legitimate organization.
"If everyone can make their own forum, claim their own authority, and call it an organizational decision, then what is the point of the constitution and the rules of the organization. This is the essence of organizing, and I think the individuals who represent the illegal movement must learn again to organize by holding the organization's constitution as the highest guideline," he said.
His party also appealed to all DPD Provincial and AMPI Regency and City DPD throughout Indonesia not to pay attention to activities that do not have organizational basis, and to remain focused on carrying out the kaderisasi and consolidation program according to the official direction of the AMPI DPP.
