JAKARTA - Constitutional law expert Yusril Ihza Mahendra assessed that the DKI Jakarta High Court may not grant the decision of the Central Jakarta District Court (Jakpus) regarding the postponement of the 2024 Election. "My assumption is that it is possible that the high court will not grant it, seeing so hard the rejection, as well as the opinions of academics, even so should the goods of judges should not be affected by criticism in society or academic opinion," said Yusril as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday 9 March. He stated that in a discussion of the most popular group entitled "Instigation and Attitude of the KPU against the Decision of the Central Jakarta Court Number 757/PDT.G/2022/PN.Jkt.Pst in the Main Session Room of the KPU RI, Jakarta. In contrast, he continued, if the DKI Jakarta High Court approved the decision even though the General Election Commission (KPU) had filed an appeal, parties other than the Prima Party as the plaintiff and the KPU as defendant, who were affected by the decision could resist. Yusril gave an example that the affected parties were political parties participating in the 2024 Election. According to him, as the affected parties of the case involving the Prima Party and the KPU, political parties participating in the 2024 election could put up a fight so that the democratic party would not be postponed. "So, other political parties that have participated in administrative verification, factual, were declared to have passed as election participants, and given serial numbers, but with this execution they were affected because they had to be postponed (elections) for 2 years and 4 months 7 days, then it would have been decided as such (the decision of the Central Jakarta District Court was granted), then other parties could have resisted the determination of this execution," he explained. Previously in the trial at the Central Jakarta District Court, Jakarta, Thursday (2/3), the panel of judges granted the Prima Party's lawsuit against the KPU to not carry out the remaining election stages from the beginning for approximately 2 years and 7 days.
"Punishing the defendant (KPU) not to carry out the remaining stages of the 2024 General Election since this decision was pronounced and carrying out the general election stages from the beginning for approximately 2 years 4 months 7 days," said the panel of judges chaired by Oyong, quoted from decision Number 757 / Pdt.G / 2022 / PN Jkt.Pst.
