Mid-term Replacement Members of the Regional Representative Council of Bandar Lampung City Based on the Siyasah Syar'iyyah Perspective

Representative institutions currently in office can have their positions replaced by other members with conditions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. This mechanism is called mid-term replacement (PAW). In its implementation, the PAW mechanism is a positive and effective means of maximizing the performance of representative institutions, but there are also various problems that arise. Replacing members of representative institutions in the middle of their term of office will deviate the objectives of the general elections held. Apart from that, disputes between members of representative institutions and their supporting parties cannot be avoided due to inappropriate processes in implementing the mechanisms. This study is a qualitative field research which does not require an in-depth knowledge of the literature used or specific abilities on the part of the research party. It is presented in the form of descriptive analysis where the data generated from primary and secondary data sources are described and provide a picture that matches the reality in the field. The results of this research show that the PAW of the Bandar Lampung City DPRD in 2019-2024 has occurred three times and is in accordance with the rules stipulated in Law Number 17 of 2014 concerning the MPR, DPR, DPD, and DPRD, which regulate PAW. In implementing PAW, the Bandar Lampung City DPRD has carried out its duties well in accordance with the law and Syar’iyyah principles, so that the implementation of PAW does not conflict and is carried out well.
