The NasDem Party's Central Executive Board (DPP) officially deactivated Ahmad Sahroni and Nafa Urbach as members of the Indonesian Parliament from the NasDem Party Faction, effective September 1, 2025. This decision, announced by NasDem Party DPP Secretary General Hermawi in a press statement on Sunday, August 31, 2025, will be followed by interim replacement procedures (PAW) for Sahroni and Urbach. Separately, reports emerged on Sunday, August 31, 2025, detailing alleged misconduct by Indonesian police during protests. One source claimed Indonesian police are "fascist and enemies of the people," citing the treatment of an injured protester on the ground. Another report stated that police beat up and arrested a tvOne journalist while they were covering protests earlier that night. These incidents occurred amidst ongoing public demonstrations, though the specific nature and demands of these protests were not detailed in the provided sources. The deactivation of Sahroni and Urbach by the NasDem Party marks a significant internal political development for the party.
