JAKARTA - One of the founders of the Democratic Party and the initiator of the North Sumatra Extraordinary Congress (KLB), Hencky Luntung responded to the statement of the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Mahfud MD, which stated that Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) was still the legitimate chairman of the Democratic Party.
According to Hencky, there is nothing wrong with Mahfud's statement. The reason is, indeed the results of the KLB of the Democrat Party in Deli Serdang North Sumatra will be registered tomorrow with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. So, until now AHY is still recognized as the Demokrat Party Chairperson.
"It is natural if a high-ranking official makes a statement like that. We still don't have the result of KLB, it is supposed to be tomorrow. Until now, AHY is still the party chairperson. So our logic is correct, and it is very good, Mr. Mahfud is very wise", said Hencky to reporters, Sunday, March 7.
However, Hencky believes this status will change after the decision made by the KLB of the Demokrat Party is registered with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
"If it comes in tomorrow, then the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (MenkumHAM) will verify. Verification cannot be done in one minute or two minutes. Of course, there is time. Still, we will temporarily acknowledge that (AHY is the party chairman) while it is being verified, or even state according to the Statutes and Bylaws (AD/ART) whether it is legal or not, right? there has been no decision yet", he added.

As previously reported, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Mahfud MD stated that the government still considers Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) as the general chairman.
"AHY is the official board at the government office as of now", Mahfud said via a video recording to reporters, Saturday, March 6.
He said that as long as there is no report on the results of the KLB that was held in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, there will be no legal problem. According to him, they are still waiting for the results of the KLB to be reported to the Government.
"If you asked whether after the KLB in Medan or in Deli Serdang Medan and for the government we do not talk about legal and illegitimate, now because for the government there is no official KLB report. So there is no legal problem", he added.
