Abstract

In a democratic system, political parties are ideally expected to serve as channels for public aspirations in formulating policies that prioritize the public interest, while upholding the values of deliberation (musyawarah) and collective responsibility. However, in practice, the participation of political parties in policy formulation is often imbalanced and tends to focus more on short-term or group-specific interests rather than the broader public interest. This study aims to examine the extent to which the Democratic Party plays a role in the public policymaking process in Langsa City and to analyze that role from the perspective of Islamic Constitutional Law, emphasizing the principles of shura (consultation), maslahah (public benefit), and amanah (trust). This article is based on field research using a descriptive qualitative approach, with interviews, observations, and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings show that the Democratic Party has actively contributed through legislative channels and local policy forums, and has shown tendencies to uphold the values of shura and maslahah in several proposed policies. However, consistency with the principle of amanah still requires strengthening to ensure that political practices align more closely with the values of Islamic constitutional law.
