        "summary": "Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo has reaffirmed that Jakarta remains Indonesia's capital until a presidential decision is issued to relocate it, following the Constitutional Court's rejection of a judicial review against the Capital City Law. The court's ruling emphasises that changes to Jakarta's special status as the capital province will only take effect upon such a decision, maintaining current operations under the DKI Jakarta designation. This decision underscores the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the planned shift to Nusantara and ensures continuity in governance.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Governor of DKI Jakarta Pramono Anung Wibowo has\nemphasised that Jakarta retains its status as the capital until a\npresidential decree (Keppres) is issued.<\/p>\n<p>This was stated by Pramono in response to the Constitutional Court\n(MK) ruling that rejected in its entirety the petition for judicial\nreview of Law No.\u00a03 of 2022 on the State Capital (UU IKN).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegarding the Constitutional Court\u2019s decision related to DKI Jakarta\nremaining the capital, I fully understand and know that as long as there\nis no presidential decision on the relocation, the capital is in DKI\nJakarta,\u201d Pramono explained at Jakarta City Hall on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the provincial government (Pemprov) of DKI Jakarta\nis still implementing the MK\u2019s decision. They continue to refer to it as\nthe Special Capital Region (DKI) and not the Special Jakarta Region\n(DKJ).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUp to today, all activities in DKI Jakarta still use the DKI\ndesignation until a presidential decision on the capital relocation is\nissued. With the MK\u2019s decision, this serves as further affirmation of\nthat,\u201d Pramono said.<\/p>\n<p>The pronouncement of Decision No.\u00a071\/PUU-XXIV\/2026 was led by MK\nChief Justice Suhartoyo in the Plenary Courtroom, Building 1 of the MK,\non Tuesday (12\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe petition of the petitioner is rejected in its entirety,\u201d stated\nSuhartoyo.<\/p>\n<p>The MK stressed that Jakarta still holds the status of Indonesia\u2019s\ncapital city.<\/p>\n<p>In its legal considerations, the MK interpreted Article 2 paragraph\n(1) of Law No.\u00a02 of 2024 on the Special Jakarta Province (DKJ) as\nneeding to be read and understood in connection with the norm in Article\n73 of the UU DKJ.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis law shall come into effect upon the issuance of a Presidential\nDecree regarding the relocation of the Capital of the Unitary Republic\nof Indonesia from the Special Capital Province of Jakarta to the\nNusantara Capital,\u201d reads Article 73 of the UU DKJ.<\/p>\n<p>MK Justice Adies Kadir explained that the meaning of \u201ccome into\neffect\u201d in Article 73 of Law 2\/2024 binds the substance\/material of the\ncapital relocation norm, when the Keppres on relocating the capital from\nJakarta to the Nusantara Capital (IKN) is issued by the President.<\/p>\n<p>This status applies as long as the Presidential Decree (Keppres) for\nrelocating the capital from Jakarta to IKN has not been issued.<\/p>",
