Jakarta, Suaradewata.com – Chairman of the General Election Commission or KPU, Mochammad Afifuddin, said that his party would comply with the Constitutional Court’s decision regarding the 2024 Pilkada.
“We convey, we repeat again, as the news circulates, the KPU in this case has taken steps to follow up on the Constitutional Court’s decision,” said Afif.
In fact, he emphasized that he was ready to obey the Constitutional Court’s rules.
“So if the question is whether the KPU is following up on the Constitutional Court’s decision, we emphasize that the KPU is following up on the Constitutional Court’s decision,” he stressed.
However, in order to follow up the Constitutional Court’s decision into KPU regulations (PKPU), the KPU needs to consult first with the legislators.
However, he emphasized that the consultation was just a form of “orderly procedure”.
Because, based on Constitutional Court Decision Number 92/PUU-XIV/2016, the KPU is obliged to consult with the DPR and the government before issuing a PKPU. In another MK decision in 2017, the Court decided that the results of the consultation meeting were not binding on the KPU.
In another MK decision in 2017, the Court decided that the results of the consultation meeting were not binding on the KPU.
“Why are we doing this (consultation), we have previous experience that there was a Constitutional Court decision in the presidential election process, decision 90 which at that time was on its way and then we followed up but the consultation was not carried out for one reason or another, then in the DKPP complaint and decision we stated was wrong and was given a final, stern warning,” he said
