Dozens of PPP West Java Members Prepare to File PMH Against West Java PPP DPW's Decree

Majalengka, West Java — Twenty PPP members from West Java, comprising cadres from 15 DPC PPP across the province, will file a Perbuatan Melawan Hukum (PMH) suit against the DPP PPP and the DPW PPP West Java. The filing will take place this week. The lawyers for the members, led by Gugun Kurniawan, said they have received powers of attorney from the 20 members to file the suit against the DPP PPP and the DPW PPP West Java. ‘The suit is filed because of the DPP PPP’s action in certifying Uu Ruzhanul Ulum as Chair of the DPW PPP West Java for the 2026–2031 term. Naturally, the Muswil process conducted by Uu Ruzhanul Ulum is deemed not in line with party procedures and violates legal provisions,’ Gugun said on Wednesday (4/3/2026). As is known, the decree appointing a Plt in the name of Uu Ruzhanul Ulum is being challenged by Pepep in PN Jakarta Pusat. Therefore, in his view, the DPP PPP should not take policy steps that could disadvantage PPP members in West Java before there is legal certainty. The plaintiffs also argue that the DPP PPP should first undertake internal reforms within the party’s structure, including establishing a Mahkamah Partai, ensuring 30 per cent female representation in the leadership, and refining the party’s AD/ART. ‘Our clients work for the party. However, if the voice of members is ignored and not respected, then under the law, our clients have the right to seek justice, including through legal action,’ he stated. Consequently, he urged all parties, both the DPP and the DPW PPP West Java, not to take actions that could damage the PPP. Furthermore, all parties should respect the legal processes that will unfold.
