        "summary": "The Central Executive Board of the Star Moon Party (PBB), following its VI Congress in Bali, has petitioned the Constitutional Court (MK) to revise the authority of the Minister of Law from approving to merely registering political party leadership structures. This challenge targets specific provisions in Law No. 2 of 2008 and Law No. 2 of 2011 on Political Parties, arguing that approval powers should rest with the parties themselves and the judiciary, not the executive branch. Additionally, PBB seeks to transfer the resolution of internal party disputes from ineffective party tribunals to the MK, citing its transparent, accessible, and binding decision-making process as key advantages.",
        "content": "<p>The Central Executive Board of the Star Moon Party (PBB), based on\nthe results of its VI Congress in Bali, has requested the Constitutional\nCourt (MK) to amend the authority of the Minister of Law. PBB Chairman\nfrom the VI Congress in Bali, Gugum Ridho Putra, stated that his party\nwants the Minister of Law\u2019s authority changed from approving to\nrecording the leadership of political parties. \u201cOur request was\nsubmitted in the substantive review hearing of Law No.\u00a02 of 2008 on\nPolitical Parties at the MK,\u201d said Gugum after attending the preliminary\nhearing of the substantive review of the Political Parties Law at the\nConstitutional Court building, as reported by ANTARA on Monday, 4 May\n2026. He explained that the requested materials include, first, several\nprovisions in the Political Parties Law, namely the word \u201capproving\u201d in\nthe provision of Article 7 paragraph (1) and the word \u201capproval\u201d in the\nprovisions of Article 7 paragraphs (2) and (3), and Article 4 paragraphs\n(3) and (4). Second, several provisions in Law No.\u00a02 of 2011 on\nPolitical Parties, namely the word \u201capproval\u201d in the provisions of\nArticle 4 paragraphs (3) and (4), the phrase \u201cminister\u2019s decision\u201d in\nthe provisions of Article 4 paragraphs (3) and (4), and the provisions\nof Article 32 and Article 33, tested against Article 1 paragraph (3),\nArticle 28, Article 28D paragraph (1), and Article 28E paragraph (3) of\nthe 1945 Constitution. Thus, he said, there are two matters submitted by\nhis party for review at the MK. First, regarding the authority to\napprove political party leadership from the Minister of Law, which is\nrequested to be changed to recording authority. \u201cWhy so? Because that is\nthe main issue that we consider will continue to be a problem for\npolitical parties in the future,\u201d said Gugum. He explained that the\nauthority to approve who the political party leaders are belongs to the\npolitical party itself and the court, not the executive (in this case,\nthe ministry). Then, the other petition, he said, concerns disputes that\noccur within political parties, especially regarding leadership, which\nunder the law is the authority of the party court, but it does not\nfunction effectively due to various complexities. \u201cFor that, we request\nthat it become the authority of the Constitutional Court,\u201d he stated.\nThe reason why the MK should be the authority to resolve internal\npolitical party disputes is, according to him, because the MK\u2019s working\nsystem is open, its hearings can be accessed by all parties, and it has\nfinal and binding decisions.<\/p>",
