In this article, we will thoroughly dissect the chronology of this historic dismissal, the various considerations taken by the party, and the responses from various circles regarding this decision that has shaken the Indonesian political world. Stay tuned for more information summarized by Liputan6 on Tuesday (17/12).
1. The Dismissal of Jokowi, Gibran, and Bobby by PDIP Based on Violations Against the Party
In a surprising move, the PDIP DPP officially announced the dismissal of Joko Widodo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, and Bobby Nasution through Decree number 1649/KPTS/DPP/XII/2024, which was signed directly by the Chairperson of PDIP, Megawati Soekarnoputri.
This decision was made after an internal meeting involving all party ranks in Indonesia, where PDIP emphasized that the actions of the three figures had violated the party's statutes.
The Chairperson of the PDIP Honorary Board, Komarudin Watubun, stated that this dismissal is included in several decrees, including SK No 1649/KPTS/DPP/XII/2024, which explicitly states the dismissal of Jokowi from party membership.
"I read this decree clearly, and this is the decision that must be made," Komarudin expressed on Monday (17/12), referring to news from Liputan6 News.
2. Reason for Dismissal: Alleged Intervention by the Constitutional Court
In a shocking move, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) decided to expel Joko Widodo from the party membership, following serious allegations that the president had intervened in the Constitutional Court for the benefit of his family.
This action is considered to tarnish the principles of democracy and national ethics, and it is assessed to have caused systemic impacts that undermine the rule of law and democracy in the country. Komarudin, while reading the decision, emphasized that this dismissal is accompanied by strict sanctions, prohibiting Jokowi from engaging in activities or holding any positions related to the party.
Thus, PDIP asserts that they will not be responsible for any actions taken by Joko Widodo after this dismissal letter is issued, and this decision will be accounted for in the upcoming congress.
3. Ethical Violations and Party Image
In a firm statement, PDIP revealed that President Jokowi, Gibran, and Bobby have violated the party's code of ethics, which is deemed to damage the reputation of PDIP and erode public trust.
Their actions are considered to violate Article 22 of the PDIP's Articles of Association, which emphasizes the importance of discipline and adherence of cadres to party policies. "This decree is effective immediately upon its issuance and will be reviewed if there are any errors in the future," reads the decision signed by Chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri and Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto in Jakarta on December 14, 2024.
4. Dismissal is a Final Decision
In a surprising move, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) issued two dismissal decrees that shook the political world, namely Decree No. 1650/KPTS/DPP/XII/2024 for Gibran Rakabuming Raka and No. 1651/KPTS/DPP/XII/2024 for Muhammad Bobby Hafid Nasution.
This decision immediately sparked various reactions; while PDIP affirmed that the decision is final and cannot be contested, supporters of Jokowi, Gibran, and Bobby expressed disappointment and regret over this drastic step. Jokowi himself emphasized that he has never been involved in legal matters involving the Constitutional Court, dismissing circulating allegations of intervention.
This decision was established in Jakarta on December 4, 2024, and signed by Chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri and Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto, marking a new chapter filled with tension in the political dynamics of Indonesia.
