Dynamics of Appointment of Acting Governor of Banten

Defan Seha Putra, Ade Fartini

Abstract


This study analyzes the appointment process of the Acting Governor ( Pj ) in Banten Province over three periods, focusing on regulations, legal politics, and appointment practices. According to Law Number 10 of 2016, the President has the authority to appoint a Pj Governor to fill the vacancy until the simultaneous elections in 2024. The appointment of Al Muktabar as Pj Governor for three periods raises questions about the legal basis and procedures used, particularly regarding the term exceeding two times. This research highlights gaps in existing regulations that may threaten transparency and accountability, as well as democratic principles. Additionally, Al Muktabar's appointment as the Acting Governor ( Plh ) after his term ended is also seen as contrary to applicable legal provisions. This study recommends the need for regulatory changes to ensure a more transparent and accountable process in filling the Acting Governor position.
