JAKARTA - The People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) is preparing to revise the Order for the Inauguration of the President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia for the 2024 '2029 Period.
"This concerns the procedures for taking oaths and the inauguration of the president, which we are trying to do in accordance with what is stated in the Basic Law," said MPR Chairman Bambang Soesatyo as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, May 28.
According to him, the inauguration of the President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia was returned consistently in accordance with the constitutional authority of the MPR RI as regulated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Article 3 Paragraph (2).
Bamsoet explained that the MPR inaugurated the president and/or vice president, it was necessary to issue a decree regarding the determination of the pair of candidates for the 2024 presidential election as President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia for the next 5 years.
Thus, he said, the president and/or vice president have a stronger legal basis in the form of MPR Decree, not only based on the minutes of the inauguration and decision of the General Elections Commission (KPU).
So far, he said, only in the form of a KPU decision on the Determination of a Pair of Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates Elected in the Election, as well as the taking of oaths or promises made in the form of minutes of swearing or promises on the grounds that the president and vice president are directly elected by the people.
