Member of the Legislative Body of the People’s Representative Council, Firman Soebagyo, confirmed that the revision of the Regional Election Law will be discussed on Wednesday (21/8) at 10.00 WIB.
According to Firman, the discussion of the revision of the Pilkada Law began in response to the Constitutional Court (MK) ruling. “So after the MK ruling, the DPR leadership held a Bamus (deliberative body) meeting to schedule a discussion of the revision of the Pilkada Law,” Firman told Media Indonesia in Jakarta, Tuesday (20/8).
In fact, the revision of the Pilkada Law has been around for a long time and has been proposed by the DPR. However, it was delayed and never discussed, because the government has also not submitted a list of problem inventories (DIM).
“Earlier in the DPR Bamus, it was conveyed that the government has submitted a DIM of 35 items. We will see tomorrow (today), whether this will discuss the nomination threshold or not,” said Firman.
Regarding the possibility that this revision is intended to annul the Constitutional Court’s decision, Firman hopes that it will not happen. Because the Constitutional Court’s decision is final and binding, the revision of the law should be in accordance with the Constitutional Court’s decision.
“The Constitutional Court’s decision cannot be ignored. Well, we’ll see tomorrow, whether the 35 DIMs submitted by the government will be related to the nomination threshold or not. My hope is that all parties must be guided by the Constitutional Court’s decision,” said Firman. (J-2)
