DPR Members Proposing Right to Express Opinions Meet with DPR Leadership

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Several members of the House of Representatives (DPR) proposing the Right to Express Opinions (HMP) gathered to meet with the leadership of the DPR at Nusantara II, Senayan Parliament Complex, Jakarta, on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

According to observations by Kompas.com, the proposers were seen arriving en masse at the Commission VIII meeting room of the DPR RI around 1:15 PM WIB.

Prominent members present included Ahmad Doli Kurnia Tanjung (Golkar Party), Sarifuddin Sudding (PAN), Benny K Harman (Democratic Party), Mardani Ali Sera (PKS), Yanuar Arif Wibowo (PKS), Muhammad Khozin (PKB), among others.

Previously, several parties had indicated that they were beginning to consider proposing the HMP.

The Chairman of the PKB faction in the DPR RI, Muhammad Khozin, stated that his party was carefully considering the use of the HMP due to the legal certainty and constitutional accountability issues related to Gibran's diploma.

"In a rule of law, what should be prioritized is not political calculation, but legal certainty and constitutional accountability. Therefore, PKB is carefully considering the use of the Right to Express Opinions (HMP)," Khozin told Kompas.com on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

Meanwhile, the Gerindra Party is open to proposals for the HMP.

Gerindra spokesman Kamarussamad mentioned that the party will monitor the dynamics unfolding during the DPR's plenary session.

He also noted that the Gerindra faction will hold an internal meeting to discuss the developments regarding this issue, including the decisions from the Supreme Court (MA) and the Constitutional Court (MK).

"The Gerindra Party is an organization that officially stands on the basis of the country's constitution, so we will undoubtedly side with the interests of the constitution, constitutional enforcement, and law enforcement," Kamrussamad said.

PKS member Mardani Ali Sera revealed that nearly 50 DPR members have signed a letter proposing the Right to Express Opinions concerning the controversy surrounding Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka's high school diploma.

"Yes (48 signatures), almost 50," Mardani told Kompas.com on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

Mardani detailed that 12 members of the DPR are from PKS.

Additionally, approximately 36 members from other parties have also signed the HMP proposal.

"PKS has 12, some have 13, and some have 4 and 4. I checked the documents," he stated.

Mardani emphasized that the HMP proposal regarding Vice President Gibran will be submitted to the DPR leadership later today.

Meanwhile, PAN has not disclosed how many members of its faction have signed the HMP proposal.

He asserted that in principle, all members are committed to upholding the rule of law.

"I think the spirit among friends in the DPR is really to uphold our country as a rule of law, where all citizens are equal before the law," stated Sarifuddin Sudding, Chairman of the PAN MPR RI faction.
