HUKUM MENJUAL HAK SUARA PADA PEMILUKADA DALAM PERSPEKTIF FIQH SIYASI SUNNI
ABSTRACT: Factually, the
political condition which is emerging today is really loaded with the political
interests, money politic becomes a trend in every Direct Local Election
(Pemilukada); voting right is traded. The practice of money politic has
occurred in many areas. This violation is very anxious since it is utilized as
an instrument of winning in direct election. Consequently, the suffrage of
citizens is hijacked by the interest of the candidate. The practice of money
politic can occur during the campaign and prior to the vote. Unfortunately, in
some cases, the election officers also involve in such practice. Then there is
a sale and purchase of votes which led to fraud in determining and stipulating
of votes acquisition and potentially might alter the electability of
candidates. The real loss of money politic is the loss of dignity of citizens’
voting right. The voting right would only be a political commodity amid the
competition among candidates. The sovereignty of the people becomes meaningless
since money has been played in which subsequently will be detrimental to them.
For the long run, the practice of corruption is likely to flourish. A position
which is obtained by huge capital becomes justification for getting back that
capital while occupying political position. Fraud in the election is not only
morally wrong, but a form of law transgression. The practice of selling and
purchasing of votes in the electionis classified as risywahwhichis strongly
prohibited in Islam.
