JAKARTA - Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian asked not to discuss the problem inventory list (DIM) that the government had proposed. According to him, the current discussion of DIM is irrelevant.

The Minister of Home Affairs also requested that the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) be also considered in the discussion of the revision of the Pilkada Law.

"So the DIM that we propose, we suggest it will not be discussed anymore. So it is sufficient to discuss which is in accordance with the current context, including considering the points on the Constitutional Court's decision regarding changes to the threshold (threshold) for the nomination of candidates for regional heads and candidates for deputy regional heads, as input," Tito said while attending the DPR RI Legislation Body (Baleg) working meeting at the parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, August 21, confiscated by Antara.

A number of DIMs according to the Government are no longer relevant for discussion, including: (1) arrangements regarding the taking of the DPRD's promise (imputation) in November 2024; (2) arrangements regarding the implementation of the Pilkada vote which were submitted to September 2024; and (3) arrangements regarding the adjustment of the number of Provincial Bawaslu members, Regency/City Bawas, and District Panwas according to the Election Law, and the addition of the number of Panwas Kelurahan/Village' from one person to three people.

The Deputy Chairperson of the Legislative Council of the Republic of Indonesia, Achmad Baidowi, at the start of the meeting, said that the DIM for the Pilkada Bill that had been submitted by the Government amounted to 496 DIMs.

He then detailed that there were 336 permanent DIM, seven DIM editorial changes, nine DIM changes in substance, then four DIMs were removed, and as many as 140 new DIM proposals.

Awiek, Achmad Baidowi's nickname, also explained that the Pilkada Bill is not a bill that has just been proposed by the parliament, but has been rolling since last year and was agreed to be a bill for the initiative of the DPR at the DPR RI Plenary Meeting on November 21, 2023.

However, he said that the discussion of the Pilkada Bill had been postponed due to the 2024 presidential election, and the Constitutional Court issued a decision rejecting the schedule for the 2024 Pilkada to be postponed so that the discussion would only continue on Wednesday.

"So, this is not a recently proposed bill, but is a continuation of the DPR's initiative proposal, which in this case, today is a continuation in the discussion of Level I," said Awiek, his nickname, when opening the meeting.

At the meeting, a number of leaders of the DPR RI Baleg were also present, namely, the Chairperson of the DPR RI Baleg Wihadi Wiyanto and the deputy chairmen of the Legislative Council of the Republic of Indonesia: Ichsan Soelistio, Willy Aditya, and Abdul Wahid.

Previously, Tuesday, August 20, the Constitutional Court decided two crucial decisions related to the stages of nomination of regional heads, namely Decision Number 60/PUU/XXII/2024 and 70/PUU-XXII/2024.

Decision Number 60/PUU/XXII/2024 changes the threshold for nominating political parties or coalitions of political parties to nominate pairs of candidates for regional heads and candidates for deputy regional heads.

As for 70/PUU-XXII/2024, it is emphasized that the minimum age limit for regional head candidates has been calculated since the appointment of a candidate pair by the General Elections Commission (KPU). The decision invalidated the previous Supreme Court (MA) decision which stated that the age limit was calculated since the elected candidate pair was sworn in.
