Politics and government of
Indokistan


President of the Federal State of Indokistan (Indonesian: Presiden Negara Federal Indokistan) was the head of state and government of Indokistan from 2010 until 2016. The president presided over the executive branch and, from 2014 to 2016, also the legislative branch, a unique feature in the Indokistani direct democracy system adopted at that time. Until the abolition of Indokistan Armed Forces in early 2016, the president is the nation's commander-in-chief.

Farhan Abbas was named the first president following the founding of Indokistan on 16 September 2010, per agreement with the other two national fathers, Dicky L. K. and Mustafa Hakim, who found him the most competent and intelligent among the three. Farhan was reelected as president in 2014.

The president served for 18 months and can be re-elected non-consecutively with no term limit. From 2014 to 2016, presidential candidates were nominated by members of the National Forum among themselves, while previously they nominate themselves by registering to the National Elections Board.

From 2010 to 2016, there were three presidential elections in 2011, 2013, and 2014, where Dicky L. K., Tian Abdurrahman, and Farhan Abbas were elected president, respectively.

Powers and duties

Powers and duties of the president were established in the constitution. Apart from serving as the nation's executive branch head, the president also headed the legislature, National Forum -- this being the core part of Indokistani direct democracy system as an effort to mimic Indonesia's consensus tradition in village level. President had important role as symbol of unity of the nation of Indokistan as whole and served as commander-in-chief of the Indokistan Armed Forces.

The president was authorised to sign treaties, declare war and martial law upon agreement from the National Forum, grant awards and orders, pardon individuals, receive credentials from foreign ambassadors, and declare mobilization and demobilisation of the military. The president also had a right to issue a decree in-lieu of law.

Succession

Indokistan, from 2014 to 2016, had no other executive position but the president. Hence, if the president suddenly passed away, resigned, or rendered incapable to perform their duty, members of the National Forum would appoint an acting president among themselves. The selected acting president must then declare whether they wish to continue their predecessor's term to its conclusion or announce a new presidential election to select a definitive leader.

Indokistan experienced three presidential resignations throughout its history in 2012 and 2014, where each succession were decided differently. In February 2012, Prime Minister Mustafa Hakim succeeded Dicky L. K. who resigned, consistent with the constitution despite Dicky's requests to be replaced either by his vice president -- vacant at that time -- or through a new election. Mustafa again served as the provisional head of state after the resignation of Abdul Rasyid I following a rebellion in his home state in December 2012. When Tian Abdurrahman abandoned the presidency after declaring his home state independent in January 2014, Rayhan Haikal was appointed as his replacement before announcing his intention to serve the remainder of Tian's term until December that year.

Oath of office

Before taking its position, the president-elect must read the oath of office. This oath for the first time read during the inauguration of Dicky L. K. in 2011 and was continuously used until the last presidential inauguration of Farhan Abbas in 2014. The oath reads:

Saya, [nama], akan menjalankan pemerintahan sebaik-baiknya, melaksanakan amanah rakyat, mematuhi Konstitusi, dan melaksanakan keadilan.

I, [name], will manage the government to the best of my capabilities, executing the people's mandate, uphold the Constitution, and execute my duty in justice.

List of presidents of Indokistan

Until its dissolution in 2016, Indokistan had seven presidents, which three appointed through elections in 2011, 2013, and 2014, and four were appointed through indirect appointment as consensus from a special meeting on in an emergency situation.

Last president Farhan Abbas became the first to be officially reelected, while Mustafa Hakim was the first to serve multiple terms. Throughout the history of Indokistan, all eras had at least one president, except during the Emergency Government and first Federation eras, where the country was ruled by a collective leadership.
