JAKARTA - The Central Jakarta District Court (PN Jakpus) assessed the statement of the Judicial Commission (KY) which plans to examine the panel of judges who granted the Prima Party's lawsuit if an ethical violation is found.
In this decision, the panel of judges at the Central Jakarta District Court ordered the General Election Commission (KPU) to postpone the 2024 General Election. The decision was taken by the panel of judges consisting of T Oyong as chairman of the panel of judges and H Bakri and Dominggus Silaban as member judges.
The Central Jakarta District Court stated that it had no reason to prohibit KY from examining the panel of judges who decided the lawsuit. This is because the examination of judges is the authority of KY.
"If there is an official summons for KY, there is no reason for the Central Jakarta District Court to prohibit it. Because KY is an institution authorized by law to examine judges who are suspected of violating the code of ethics," said Public Relations of the Central Jakarta District Court, Zulkifli Atjo when confirmed, Friday, February 3.
The Central Jakarta District Court, he said, would not prohibit KY from examining the panel of judges in accordance with his duties and authorities.
"That is the duty and authority of KY given by law," he explained.
Previously, the Central Jakarta District Court ordered the KPU to postpone the 2024 General Election or not carry out the remaining stages of the 2024 General Election. The Central Jakarta District Court's decision is related to the Prima Party civil lawsuit or the Prosperous People's Party which the KPU stated did not meet the requirements to participate in the 2024 General Election.
In its decision, the Central Jakarta District Court rejected the Prima Party's lawsuit. The Central Jakarta District Court stated that the Prima Party was a political party that was harmed in verifying the KPU administration. In addition, the Central Jakarta District Court stated that the KPU had committed an unlawful act.
"Punishing the Defendant not to carry out the remaining stages of the 2024 General Election since this decision was pronounced and carrying out the General Election stage from the beginning for approximately 2 years 4 months 7 days," reads the Central Jakarta District Court's decision quoted on Thursday, March 2.
