Abstract
Background. Political parties play a significant and strategic role in national life, holding key positions of power. Today's political parties frequently face internal and external issues, including disputes over leadership and financial matters. A common problem identified by the researcher is that despite many internal party disputes being resolved by party courts, the losing parties often challenge the decisions in a district court. This indicates that many of these disputes are not effectively settled by the party courts. This study's specific case exemplifies this issue, showing how the Central Executive Board of the Democratic Party's Party Court failed to properly exercise its authority in resolving a dispute over the results of the 2014 Cirebon Regency Regional Legislative Council (DPRD) election.
Objective. This research aims to examine the existence and legal authority of political party courts in resolving internal disputes. It also seeks to determine the legal force of the Democratic Party's Party Court.
Methodology. The study employs a normative juridical approach, analyzing primary legal sources such as legal theories, concepts, principles, and relevant laws and regulations.
Findings. The study concludes that the Central Executive Board of the Democratic Party's Party Court lacks the authority to resolve disputes related to election results.
Conclusion. Furthermore, the court was found to have disregarded the principle of legal certainty by issuing a decision without referring the case to the Constitutional Court for guidance.
