TINJAUAN RECHTSPOLITIEK TENTANG PENGATURAN JABATAN KEPALA DAERAH DAN WAKIL KEPALA DAERAH DI INDONESIA

Abstract

Reflecting on developed democracies such as the United States and Australia, the position of Deputy Regional Head no longer exists, but there is still a filling appointed by the Governor. Not the position of Deputy Regional Head is expected to reduce conflicts between the Regional Head and Deputy Regional Head, especially ahead of the second period of leadership. In addition, there are proposals for Governors and Regents to be directly elected. The Regional Head is proposed to be re-elected by the DPRD on the grounds of deconcentration. One reason is for budget efficiency considering that in Indonesia there are around 415 districts, 1 administrative district, 93 cities, and 5 administrative cities in 34 provinces, while the governor as head of the province is a representative of the central government. When referring to the central government coordination line in the theory of distribution of Power, many Regents are difficult to regulate by the Governor and tend to directly coordinate with the Central Government. The reason for abolishing the position of Deputy Governor, Deputy Regent, and Deputy Mayor is colored because the position of Deputy Regional Head is considered to be just a kind of spare tire. Deputy Regional Head only functions when the Regional Head is unable to be permanent or permanent. The weak presence of the Deputy Regional Head is also caused by differences in the political basis between the Regional Head and his Deputy, which is when the Regional Head and Deputy Regional Head are elected to serve a government, tends to occur afterwards disharmony between them, mainly this is caused by various political interests . Finally the Regional Government becomes ineffective. In this research, the formulation of the problem in this study is: How about the arrangement of the position of Regional Head and Deputy Regional Head in Indonesian Governance? The type of research / approach used by the author is normative legal research that is library law research, because it makes library material as the main focus. In this normative legal research, the writer conducts research on legal principles starting from certain areas of the legal system, by first identifying the legal principles that have been formulated in certain laws. The results of this study are the position of the Deputy Regional Head is still very important and needed in the constitutional system in Indonesia. Matters relating to the lack of duties, functions and authority of the Deputy Regional Head can be overcome by revising Law Number 23 of 2014 which can be added to the duties, functions and authority of the Deputy Regional Head. In addition, even though the position of the Deputy Regional Head is not summarized in the constitution it is also good that we refer to our State Leaders, namely the President who in carrying out his duties, functions and authorities is assisted by a Vice President. Also considering the importance of the position of Deputy Regional Head is that if one day the Regional Head can no longer run the wheels of Government in the Region, then this can be delegated to the Deputy Regional Head.
