The word “oposisi” originates from the Latin oppositio, meaning opposition or a counter-position. In modern political history, this term was absorbed into the Indonesian language via the Dutch oppositie to refer to groups not involved in the governing cabinet. Culturally, this term has become crucial in the Indonesian democratic system to maintain the “check and balance” mechanism between state institutions to prevent the abuse of authority.
Partai itu memutuskan menjadi oposisi agar kebijakan pemerintah tetap terkontrol dengan baik.
