Fadel Muhammad v La Nyalla : New Lawsuit 

In mid-August 2022, a senator from Gorontalo, Fadel Muhammad, who is also a businessman, was removed from his position as deputy chairman of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) from elements of the Regional Representatives Council (DPD). The reason for his removal, interestingly, was a vote of no-confidence (mosi tidak percaya) that was filed by nearly 100 parties, even though the MPR does not recognize a no-confidence mechanism. After a month had passed, Fadel Muhammad fight back and filed a lawsuit to the Central Jakarta District Court, accusing the parties of carrying out unlawful acts and asking for compensation of more than Rp200 billion. Last week, Fadel filed a new lawsuit to the Jakarta State Administrative Court (PTUN Jakarta).
