Legislative Council (DPR) Affirms Revision Of Regional Head Election Law Not To Be Law

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives Baleg Achmad Baidowi emphasized that the Draft Law on the Fourth Amendment to Law Number 1 of 2015 (RUU Pilkada) is not a law (UU).

"The plenary meeting which will approve the ratification of the Pilkada Bill, Thursday, will not be held so that it cannot become a law," said Awiek, his nickname, Thursday, August 22.

Awiek emphasized the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) regarding the regional elections that will take effect in the 2024 Pilkada.

"So, what applies today is the Constitutional Court's decision," he said, quoted by ANTARA.

Awiek said the General Elections Commission (KPU) would continue the 2024 Pilkada stage using the Constitutional Court's decision.

He hopes that the 2024 Pilkada contestation, which is the experience of simultaneous regional elections in Indonesia, must run smoothly and successfully.
