Judicial Commission: Those Who Passed Are Definitely Qualified
The Judicial Commission claims there was no interference in the election of Supreme Court justice candidates. It denies ties to political parties.
In 2026, the selection and approval of Supreme Court justice candidates by the Judicial Commission (KY) ran smoothly, with the House of Representatives (DPR) endorsing 11 Supreme Court justices and three additional judges on August 18. The previous year, the selection process had been delayed, with the DPR Commission III, responsible for legal affairs, encountering issues.
However, Abdul Chair Ramadhan, chair of the Judicial Commission, stated that this year's selection process adhered to the guidelines and claimed that no nepotism had occurred. Speaking with Tempo reporters Fajar Pebrianto, Friski Riana, and Amelia Rahima, Abdul Chair expressed confidence in the process's fairness, noting that it followed standard procedures and regulations without any violations.
