Deputy Chairperson Of The KPK Nurul Ghufron/DOK KPK Public Relations

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nurul Ghufron plans to run again as a candidate for KPK leadership. He said this intention should be visible when submitting a judicial review regarding the limits after the KPK leadership candidate and the term of office to five years at the Constitutional Court (MK).

"I then felt that (when the year, ed) 2022 there were regulations that hindered me (to nominate again), then I was JR (judicial review) meaning that you can understand my interests," said Ghufron at the ACLC KPK building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Tuesday, May 14.

Ghufron has not detailed his readiness to run as a candidate for leadership. However, the lawsuit filed some time ago was indeed one of the facilities.

"My intention with JR is that in 2022, there is no need to ask (in line with the current nomination stage, ed)," he said.

As previously reported, the Presidential Special Staff, Ari Dwipayana, said that the name of the selection committee (pansel) for the KPK leadership was being studied by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). It is certain that the public hopes will be accommodated later.

"The names of candidates for Pansel Capim and the KPK Council are still being discussed by paying attention to the expectations of the community to get credible and integrity Pansel members," said Ari Dwipayana in a short message in Jakarta, Thursday.

Ari said the membership of the Pansel would number 9 people consisting of 5 elements of the government and 4 people from elements of the community who would be determined through the President's decision. "The names of members of the KPK Pansel will be announced this month," he said.
