JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party responded to the PKS proposal for the leadership of the DPR RI to be filled by representatives of the factions. Gerindra also gave a 'OK-only' signal by inviting PKS to submit the proposal democratically. "Please just convey it with the mechanism for changing the democratic law," said Deputy Gerindra, Habiburokhman to reporters, Tuesday, July 9. Habiburokhman said, if the majority of DPR members agree with the proposal, the existing rules will be changed. On the other hand, if they do not get approval, the composition of the DPR leadership will remain the same.

"If most members of the DPR agree, we will change it. On the other hand, if we don't get approval, it will remain like this," he continued. According to the Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR, the number of DPR leaders does not need to be a polemic. Because he said, the PKS proposal was only a matter of regulating DPR members, not the people.

"The point is simple, this is only a matter of what kind of model agreement is more appropriate to implement," said Habiburokhman. "Regarding the number of DPR leaders, there is no need for too many pros and cons at the public level, because it only regulates DPR members, not directly regulates the people," he added.

Previously, PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu proposed to the Chairman of the MPR, Bambang Soesatyo (Bamsoet) that the seats led by the DPR RI be filled by representatives of all factions or parties that passed to Parliament. As composition of the MPR and DPD RI leaders. So we certainly appreciate the development of the MPR today, where all factions are represented by all factions in the leadership. In the MPR plus DPD RI. Now, for the DPR, of course, there are fewer factions in the DPR RI," said Syaikhu after receiving a visit to the national relations of the MPR RI leadership at the DPP PKS office, South Jakarta, Monday, July 8.

"Well, of course it is still more possible for it to be realized so that all factions have representation as DPR leaders," he continued.

According to Syaikhu, communication between parties will be easier if there are representatives of factions in the chair of the leadership of the DPR.

"I think when we communicated between political parties it would be easier when the representation in the leadership was all representative," he explained.
