JAKARTA - General Chairperson of Gerindra Prabowo and Ketum NasDem Surya Paloh laughed in response to the decision of the Central Jakarta District Court which asked the General Election Commission (KPU) to postpone the 2024 General Election. This was stated by Prabowo and Surya Paloh after holding a meeting at Prabowo's residence in Hambalang, Sentul, West Java, Sunday 4 March. Prabowo said that the decision of the Central Jakarta District Court judges was unreasonable and not wise. He also considered that the KPU's steps to appeal were good, considering that apart from the district court there were still efforts at the High Court. "About the postponement of the election, I think many have commented. Mr. Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs also gave a response. Yes, it (the decision) of the district court, is still there above the High Court. I think it is very less wise or unreasonable if it is postponed, sir?" Prabowo asked Surya Paloh. "The name is (also) an attempt," continued Prabowo while laughing. Suraya Paloh who was on the side, also replied with laughter. He agreed with Prabowo that there would be no serious or urgency if the 2024 election was postponed. "I think the answer is the same as Mas Bowo. What is the difference? The point two is the same as the idea," replied Ketum NasDem in a laugh. Previously, the Central Jakarta District Court ordered the KPU to postpone the 2024 election or not implementing the remaining stages of the 2024 Election. The decision of the Central Jakarta District Court is related to the PD Party's civil lawsuit or the Prospective People's Party which is declared by the KPU does not meet the requirements to participate in the 2024 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 the verification of 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 carried out the General Election stage from the beginning for approximately 2 years and 4 months and 7 days," reads the Central Jakarta District Court's decision quoted on Thursday, March 2.
