Fahri Hamzah’s dismissal from PKS reveals the trials of opposition in Indonesia

Luqman-nul Hakim recently argued that the dismissal of Fahri Hamzah from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) indicated that the party was returning to its ideological roots. But Abdil Mughis Mudhoffir and Andi Rahman Alamsyah contend that the party's recent political manoeuvres suggest it will continue to favour a pragmatic approach. It will need to because of its weak position in politics.

PKS splits with Fahri Hamzah, will the Red and White Coalition be next?

Analysis, Politics

After weeks of speculation, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) confirmed in early April that it had dismissed outspoken lawmaker Fahri Hamzah. PhD candidate Luqman-nul Hakim looks at the broader political implications of the move and what it means for PKS's position in the Red and White Coalition (KMP).
