JAKARTA - Spokesperson for the Constitutional Court (MK) Fajar Laksono denied the alleged leak of information on the case decision Number: 114/PUU-XX/2022 related to a lawsuit against an open proportional system in the Election Law.

"Just discussed it yet," said Fajar, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, May 29.

Fajar explained that based on the trial on Tuesday (23/5), the parties would submit a conclusion to the constitutional panel of judges no later than May 31, 2023 at 11.00 WIB.

After that, said Fajar, the panel of judges will discuss and make decisions on the case.

"If the decision is ready, then the trial will be scheduled for the pronouncement of the verdict," he said.

Fajar emphasized that until now, the decision on case Number: 114/PUU-XX/2022 has not yet entered the discussion stage. This affirmation at the same time denied any leak of decision information related to the electoral system in Indonesia.

Previously, the former Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights (Wamenkumham) of the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono era, Denny Indrayana claimed to have received information about the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) regarding the legislative election system which will return to a closed proportional system or party voting.

"This morning I received important information. The Constitutional Court will decide on the legislative election to return to a closed proportional system, again choosing the party's image mark only," Denny said via a tweet on his Twitter account @dennyindranaya.

In his tweet, Denny also mentioned the source in the Constitutional Court. Although he did not answer clearly, Denny confirmed that the source was not a constitutional judge.

"Who is the source? The person I really trust is credibility, who is definitely not a Constitutional Judge," he said.

Meanwhile, the Constitutional Court (MK) has received a request for a judicial review of Article 168 paragraph (2) of the Election Law related to an open proportional system registered with case registration number 114/PUU-XX/2022 on November 14, 2022.

The six applicants are Demas Brian Wicaksono (Permohon I), Yuwono Pintadi (Pemohon II), Fahrurrozi (Pemohon III), Ibnu Rachman Jaya (Permohon IV), Riyanto (Pemohon V), and Nono Marijono (Pemohon VI).

Eight of the nine political party factions in the DPR RI also stated that they rejected the closed proportional electoral system, namely the Golkar, Gerindra, Democrat, NasDem, PAN, PKB, PPP, and PKS factions. Only one faction wants a closed proportional election system, namely the PDI-P.
