Liputan6.com, Jakarta – The Constitutional Court (MK) sets a maximum limit of office village head i.e. three periods. The decision was based on a judicial review of Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages (UU Desa) on Thursday (30/9/2021).

the Petitioner’s request in part,” said the Chairman of the Constitutional Court Anwar Usman reading the excerpt of the verdict of Decision Number 42/PUU-XIX/2021, as quoted from the official website of the Constitutional Court, Sunday (3/10/2021).

The acceptance of part of the policy test is not without reason. The Court in its decision stated that the explanation of Article 39 of the Village Law was contrary to the 1945 Constitution and did not have conditional binding legal force as long as it was not interpreted.

The explanation of Article 39 of the Village Law originally read:

Village heads who have served one term of office based on Law Number 32 of 2004 are given the opportunity to re-nominate for a maximum of 2 (two) terms of office. Meanwhile, Village Heads who have served 2 (two) terms of office based on Law No. 32 of 2004 are given the opportunity to re-nominate for only 1 (one) term of office
