Leadership succession from the perspective of Indonesian Constitutional Law and Islamic Law. In the context of Constitutional Law, leadership succession is regulated in the post-amendment 1945 Constitution, which emphasizes a presidential system of government, direct elections by the people, and term limits for the president. Meanwhile, in Islamic Law, leadership succession does not have a single model but is rooted in the principles of the Qur'an and Sunnah, such as consultation (shura), trustworthiness, justice, and the welfare of the community. This study employs a qualitative method through a literature review approach, analyzing primary and secondary sources. The results of the study show that despite systematic differences between the two, both Constitutional Law and Islamic Law place leadership as a trust that must be carried out with integrity and responsibility to achieve justice and public welfare.
