JAKARTA - Ex-Secretary General of PKB Lukman Edy assessed the PKB faction initiative to propose the right of inquiry for the 2024 presidential election heistorically from the spirit of party struggle. Therefore, he has repeatedly suggested the PKB faction to reject the budget or withdraw from the position of the initiator. "The initiative of this PKB faction is Ahistoris and out of the spirit of PKB struggle so far. A long history has brought PKB politicians to adulthood and has given birth to many states, not to be undermined by the carelessness,gur and anger due to losing in the 2024 election," said Lukman Edy in his statement, Wednesday, March 6. Lukman again reminded, the initiative of the right of inquiry by the DPR is a wasteful job. Because, Law No. 7/2017 concerning Election does not give a place to seekers of justice other than through the path of the Constitutional Court (MK) for election results, and the Bawaslu path for the election process. The Bawaslu route can be challenged to the Supreme Court. "If the intention is positive for future election improvements, then the time is not now, but later after the entire 2024 election process is finished. Even ideally, if evaluation and corrections are carried out by the DPR with all its authority in the 2024-2029 DPR period," said Lukman. However, Lukman, this issue of the issue of angket has developed into an intention to impeach the president. Only because the results of the one-round presidential election are completed, the anger of the losing party is even vented to President Jokowi. "The various accusations are addressed to him. So that the DPR's schedulet is developed to be increasingly wild and out of context," said the former chairman of the MPR RI PKB faction. According to Lukman, there are at least three things why this DPR's budget has become out of context. First, the DPR's angket cannot interfere with the election judicial process in Bawaslu. "It is what can execute violation during the election process. The execution is also only at a certain locus according to the lawsuit. The decision can be re-election at a given TPS, it can also be calculated

Second, the DPR's angket cannot also interfere with the trial of the election results at the Constitutional Court (MK). Lukman said, in fact, the Constitutional Court had refused to be used as a judicial review of the election results in the Election Law. This was conveyed when the DPR Special Committee on Election Law conducted consultations with the Constitutional Court. "However, the Special Committee gave considerations in the interest of political stability and the possibility of protracted legal uncertainty against the election results, thus requiring a strong and unconstitutionally denied institution. And the Constitutional Court was finally given the responsibility for the final determinant of the election results," said Lukman. "There is also another state model whose election results were approved by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court rejected on the grounds that the judicial process in the Supreme Court could last long and dissolved, in addition to the heavy workload in the Supreme Court itself," added the former Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the DPR.

Third, the angket with the intention of impeaching the President. Lukman said, the inquiry led to the impeachment of the president to the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia, KH Abdurrahman Wahid or Gus Dur. According to Gus Dur's confession, the architect was Amien Rais who became the chairman of the MPR RI at that time. "Angket against Gus Dur on charges of the Brunei Gate and Bulog Gate scandals, which have recently never been legally proven at any level. But his political process still occurs, Gus Dur was removed without ever being proven Gus Dur was legally guilty," said Lukman. Based on this bitter experience, continued Lukman, the PKB MPR RI faction was proactive in making changes to the constitution through amendments to the 3rd Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia 1945. At that time, he said, the PKB MPR RI faction was deemed to be no longer allowed for the resignation of a president without a strong legal reason and limited only to betrayal of the state. Sert committed an extraordinary crime as evidenced by his violation through the correct judicial process by a judicial institution given special authority for it. "The end of this is that there is a change in our constitution, so that today there is almost no gap for removing a President with only political reasons, let alone based on the disappointment of a group of political forces who lost in the legal and constitutional democratic process," he explained.

Therefore, Lukman was surprised by the PKB faction of the DPR RI today if he took the initiative to propose the right of the DPR RI. Because he said, from any side it was out of context.

"If you want to sue for elections, it is clearly irrelevant because there are channels, namely Bawaslu and the Constitutional Court. If you intend to impeach the President, it is clearly unlikely that it can be implemented, because our constitution has closed the meeting without any strong legal evidence in the Constitutional Court," said Lukman. "Finally, I invite the PKB faction of the DPR RI to refrain from taking the initiative to apply for the right of the DPR's present, whatever the reason," he concluded.
