KPU Chair”/>
KPU RI member August Mellaz confirmed that Mochammad Afifuddin will remain the permanent chairman after the DPR confirmed Iffa Rosita as a replacement member for Hasyim Asy’ari.
“The position is that the highest decision of the KPU is definitely in the plenary session. Now, Mr. Afif’s position is definitive,” said Mellaz in Jakarta, Tuesday (10/9/2024).
He explained that his party would coordinate regarding the division that would be filled by Iffa after the inauguration.
According to him, Iffa will fill the position of Head of the Legal and Supervision Division of the Indonesian KPU which was previously led by Afif.
“So the position of chairman is now definitively with Mr. Afif. Of course we will coordinate with Ms. Iffa later on the position of the division previously handled by Mr. Afif which will probably be discussed later,” he said.
In addition, Mellaz said that the KPU is currently focusing on the stages of the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections which are currently underway.

Previously, the 6th Plenary Meeting of the Indonesian House of Representatives for Session Period I of the 2024-2025 Session Year approved Iffa Rosita to become a commissioner of the Indonesian General Election Commission for the 2022-2027 term, replacing Hasyim Asy’ari who was permanently dismissed by the Election Organizer Honorary Council.
“Can the report of Commission II of the Indonesian House of Representatives on the determination of the interim replacement of KPU members for the 2022-2027 term be approved and determined?” asked the Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Puan Maharani, which was answered in unison by the members of the council present at the parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday (10/9/2024).

Meanwhile, Chairman of Commission II of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Ahmad Doli Kurnia Tandjung, explained that the replacement of members of the Indonesian KPU was carried out based on the provisions of Article 37 paragraph (4) letter a of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections.
“If one member of the KPU RI is dismissed, he/she will be replaced by the next ranked KPU RI member candidate from the election results conducted through deliberation and consensus by the DPR,” he explained.
He explained that the one who should have replaced Hasyim was Viryan Azis, not Iffa. “However, Viryan has passed away, so based on the next ranking number, which is ninth, the one who has the right to replace him is Iffa Rosita,” he concluded. (Ant/P-3)
