SOLO - Candidate for vice president number 1 Muhaimin Iskandar responded to the decision of the Honorary Council of Election Organizers (DKPP) regarding the registration of Gibran Rakabuming as vice presidential candidate. KPU chairman Hasim Asy'ari was decided to violate the code of ethics related to this.

"The violation of the code of ethics decided by the DKPP has become a black record for our national political process," said Muhaimin as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, February 5.

The General Chairperson of the PKB stated that currently there are two black records in national politics. First, the decision of the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court (MKMK) and second, the decision of the DKPP.

"This is a black record, which I think is a national concern. Hopefully there are steps that make us a nation, confident and proud, that this nation puts ethics first," he explained.

According to Cak Imin, although the DKPP decision did not affect Gibran's candidacy, the most important thing was ethical issues.

"For me, ethics is important, it must continue to be upheld. Not only politics, the environment, development procedures, the principles of national development, the foundation of ethics," he asserted.

DKPP sentenced KPU chairman Hasyim Asy'ari to the last harsh warning. Apart from Hasyim, other KPU members, namely Yulianto Sudrajat, August Mellaz, Betty Epsilon Idroos, Parsadaan Harahap, Idham Holik, and M Afifuddin, were also given warning sanctions.

Hasyim and six other members of the KPU were reported by Demas Brian Wicaksono with case Number 135-PKE-DKPP/XII/2023, Iman Munandar B. (Number 136-PKE-DKPP/XII/2023), PH Hariyanto (Number 137-PKE-DKPP/XII/2023), and Rumondang Damanik (Number 141-PKE-DKPP/XII/2023).
