JAKARTA - Golkar Party legislator Bambang Soesatyo (Bamsoet) opened his voice about his party that has the opportunity to occupy the chair of the chairman of the DPR because it is confirmed to be in number two of the 2024 Pilleg votes.

According to the Chairman of the MPR, the position of seat of DPR 1 is still in accordance with the rules for the election of the chairman of the DPR as stated in Law Number 2 of 2018 concerning the MPR, DPR, DPRD and DPD (MD3), namely the winning political party for the 2024 Legislative Election.

"The chairman of the DPR is in accordance with the provisions of the MD3 Law, so the chairman of the DPR is occupied by the owner of the most seats in parliament," said Bamsoet at the Nusantara V building, the DPR/MPR complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Friday, March 8.

Bamsoet did not deny the possibility of changes in the rules of the MD3 Law. However, he must admit that currently the Golkar Party's votes are still under the PDIP.

"There may be, we'll just see the trend. To this day I haven't seen any more, whether Golkar's voice has exceeded PDIP. But two days ago I saw Golkar was still below PDIP," he said.

Therefore, Bamsoet assessed that the position of chairman of the DPR must continue to follow the applicable rules. He refused if there was a revision of the MD3 Law just to accommodate his party being the leader of Parliament. Because according to him, all parties must maintain political stability.

"In my opinion, we must maintain political stability and a conducive atmosphere after this election. Do not bring up things that make us noisy," said Bamsoet.

"I was the first person to disagree if there was a push for change in the MD3 Law," he concluded
