Direct election for positions

Direct election for positions

From Media Indonesia

The direct presidential election has received popular support because the system is believed to turn out true national leaders, who are elected by the population.

Its implementation, however, retains the practice of mutual backing and coalition, meaning the pursuit of Cabinet positions.

This fact obviously deviates from what is intended in the 1945 Constitution. The Constitutional Commission has been slow in amending the Constitution in response to the latest developments, which deprive direct elections of their benefit.

Ministers in the cabinet should be appointed by the President without the influence of a particular party or coalition.
