Abstract

Political coalitions in Indonesia’s governmental system play a crucial role in shaping policy direction and ensuring governmental stability. The background of this research stems from the reality that no single party is able to secure an absolute majority, compelling the president to form coalitions in order to gain legislative support. The research problem addressed is how political coalitions influence the president’s independence in decision-making, as well as the strategies that can be applied to maintain such independence. This study employs a normative juridical approach using the statute approach and conceptual approach, with data collection techniques through literature review. The findings reveal that political coalitions are often transactional and pragmatic, which may restrict the president’s maneuverability and blur governmental accountability. Strategies available to the president include exercising constitutional prerogative rights, strengthening the role of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as an external watchdog, and establishing substantive coalitions that involve civil society. The conclusion emphasizes that without clear regulations, political coalitions may weaken the presidential system. Therefore, the recommendations proposed include revising the political party law, implementing transparency mechanisms in coalition agreements, and reinforcing horizontal accountability systems. This research is expected to contribute to the development of more transparent and accountable governance in Indonesia
