Senior Researcher at the Political Research Center of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Lili Romli, emphasized that the right to inquiry is a public demand and is still relevant to be proposed by the DPR RI.
Lili explained that the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) which rejected the 2024 presidential election dispute lawsuit did not make the right to inquiry unnecessary.
“The right to inquiry is a political approach, while the case at the Constitutional Court is purely legal. “So the right to inquiry can be continued,” said Lili to Media Indonesia, Thursday (25/4).
“What’s more, the three Constitutional Court judges who gave a dissenting opinion believe there is politicization of social assistance and the neutrality of acting regional heads and village heads,” he added.
The problem, said Lili, is whether the parties that initially planned to roll out the right to inquiry still have the same enthusiasm or not.
“The key is whether the political party is solid enough to support and roll out the right to inquiry. “This depends on the political will of the parties,” explained Lili.

In essence, said Lili, the right to inquiry might be rolled out if the parties in the DPR really wanted it.
Meanwhile, Chairman of the Central Leadership Council of the National Awakening Party, Luluk Nur Hamidah, stated that the right to an election inquiry does not know the word trite.
Luluk emphasized that Prabowo Subianto’s visit to the PKB DPP office yesterday did not affect the PKB inquiry rights plan.
Luluk explained that PKB was serious regarding overseeing the change agenda. PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar also expressed this seriousness when presenting the eight PKB agendas to Prabowo at yesterday’s meeting.
“There is no such thing as the right to inquiry, as long as the DPR has the political will to carry out its supervisory function,” said Luluk to Media Indonesia, Thursday (25/4). (Z-8)
