JAKARTA - The Prima Party's civil lawsuit at the Central Jakarta District Court has resulted in punishment for the KPU not to carry out the remaining stages of the 2024 General Election. Commission II of the DPR assesses a verdict as if it was forced.

"This district court ruling is a bit strange, odd, and unusual. The district court has acted beyond its limits of authority and seems very forced," said Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the House of Representatives Yanuar Prihatin in a written statement, Friday, March 3.

Yanuar explained that the route for resolving the verification dispute of political parties with political parties is in Bawaslu, while those related to ethics are resolved through the DKPP.

He stressed that there was not a single order in the constitution that gave the District Court the authority to decide cases of political party verification disputes.

For this reason, he continued, the Central Jakarta District Court does not have the authority to handle the dispute over the election process to determine the implementation of the 2024 General Election.

"The rules regarding the implementation of elections, even the postponement of elections are the domain of law, and the authority to make this law is held by the DPR and the government," he said, quoted by Antara.

According to Yanuar, the Central Jakarta District Court does not understand the electoral law because it won the Prima Party's civil lawsuit regarding the dispute over the election process.

He questioned the demands of the Prima Party which asked to postpone the election stage because they felt aggrieved that they did not pass verification as participants in the 2024 General Election. asking for the cancellation of the relevant KPU's decision.

"The logic demanded should be about the cancellation of the KPU's decision which did not pass the Prima Party as an election participant," he added.

Therefore, he said, if the Central Jakarta District Court understood the electoral rule, it should reject the Prima Party's lawsuit.
