KUDUS - A request for a recommendation for an interim replacement (PAW) for members of the Kudus Regency DPRD from the Gerindra faction was returned by the local General Elections Commission (KPU). The letter was returned because it was not in accordance with the provisions.

"We received the PAW recommendation letter from the Kudus DPRD on 20 June 2022, while we returned it on Thursday (23 June)," said Kudus Regency KPU chairman Naily Syarifah in Kudus, Central Java, Friday 24 June.

The return of the letter was caused because it was not in accordance with KPU Regulation number 6/2019 regarding Amendments to KPU Regulation Number 6/2017 concerning Interim Replacement of Members of the DPR, Regional Representatives Council, Provincial DPRD, and Regency/City DPRD.

Article 5 states that a member of the district DPRD resigns from time to time due to death, resignation, or dismissal.

The letter from the DPRD, said Naily Syarifah, stated that it only asked for the name of an interim replacement candidate on behalf of Nur Hudi without explaining that the person concerned had resigned or for what reason.

These conditions, according to him, must be accompanied by a certificate that is in accordance with the circumstances, such as a certificate of resignation for a member of the board who resigns or a certificate of death for a member of the board who dies.

In the letter, he continued, there was an attachment to the letter from the DPC Gerindra Kudus Party related to the PAW request to the local DPRD.

It is known that the Kudus Regency DPRD is still processing the PAW for the member of the Kudus DPRD from the Gerindra faction, Nurhudi, who will be replaced by another Gerindra Party cadre, namely Agus Wariono.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the DPRD Kudus Masan admitted that he had received a letter of return from the local KPU on Friday, June 24.

"We will review it with a team of experts regarding the return of the letter from the KPU because the letter we sent was also accompanied by documents from the Gerindra Kudus Party DPC," he said.
