JAKARTA - Senior politician from the United Development Party (PPP) Arsul Sani will take an oath as a judge of the Constitutional Court (MK) today, Thursday, January 18 at the State Palace, Jakarta. Arsul took an oath in front of President Joko Widodo.
"Yes, that's right, Mr. Arsul Sani," said Presidential Special Staff Coordinator Ari Dwipayana via text message, confirming the agenda of taking the oath of Constitutional Justice in front of the President of the Republic of Indonesia.
Last October, the 7th Plenary Meeting of the DPR RI During the First Session of the 2023 '2024 Session Year, Tuesday, approved the results of Arsul Sani's fit and proper test as a candidate for constitutional judge in 2024 which came from the DPR's proposal.
Arsul Sani as a candidate for the elected constitutional judge will replace constitutional judge Wahiduddin Adams who will enter the age of 70 on January 17, 2024.
Met after the fit and proper test, Arsul Sani said he was ready to resign from the membership of political parties as well as as the leadership of the MPR and members of the DPR.
"For example, if I am elected, the consequences are, yes, (I) quit the DPR, resigned as chairman of the MPR, resigned as a member of the party. That, yes, because the Constitutional Court Law states that the Constitutional Court judge should not be a member of a political party and should not be a state official. Yes, it must be obeyed," said Arsul.
He also admitted that he was ready to contribute in improving the institutional quality of the Constitutional Court by producing constitutional decisions that avoided tensions between state institutions.
