Commission II Of The House Of Representatives Schedules Discussion On The PKPU Draft With The KPU For The New Period

JAKARTA - Member of DPR Commission II, Rifqinizamy Karyasuda, responded to the desire of the General Election Commission (KPU) for the 2017-2022 period to discuss the draft General Election Commission Regulation (PKPU) concerning the Stages, Schedule and Program of the 2024 General Election with the DPR and the government.

According to him, the consultation meeting regarding the agenda will not be discussed with members of the 2017-2022 election organizers. Because the term of office of these parties will end soon.

"I think that what is being asked by the Indonesian KPU at this time is not the right momentum. Because we only have to wait a few more days that the KPU and the RI Bawaslu will be inaugurated by the President," Rifqi told reporters, Tuesday, March 22.

Rifqi admitted that Commission II of the DPR has received the draft PKPU draft. Commission II has also scheduled a consultation meeting with the government and election organizers, namely the KPU and Bawaslu.

However, he ensured that the consultation meeting would be held with the election organizers for the 2022-2027 period.

"This is to prevent repeated discussions with the current leadership," said Rifqi.

The KPU has drafted the PKPU draft regarding the stages, programs and schedule of the 2024 General Election.

"August 1 to 7 in our planned stages and schedule at PKPU," said RI KPU chairman Ilham Saputra at the KPU Office, Jakarta, Monday, 21

Ilham hopes that this PKPU draft can be discussed as soon as possible with the DPR and the Government in a consultation meeting. Thus, this draft can also be quickly promulgated by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkum HAM).

"This is a reference in the budget plan and other stages. (Hopefully) it will be discussed in our period," said Ilham.

The PKPU draft regarding the stages, schedule and program for the 2024 General Election is known to have been sent to the DPR yesterday.
