The plenary session today scheduled a Level II / Decision-making Discussion on the Draft Law on the Fourth Amendment to Law Number 1 of 2015 concerning Stipulation of Government Regulations in Lieu of Law Number 1 of 2014 concerning the Election of Governors, Regents, and Mayors into Laws (UUU). Dasco claims that the plenary meeting of ratification of the Pilkada Law this morning was held for all Indonesian people. "I am the dream (Prime meeting), ed. For the people of Indonesia," said Dasco at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday, 22 August. Previously, the Legislation Body (Baleg) of the DPR RI agreed to bring the draft Revision of Law (RUU) Number 10 of 2016 concerning Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) to the Plenary Meeting on Thursday, August 22, today. The amendment to the Pilkada Bill annulls the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) which changed the threshold of the terms of candidacy in the Pilkada. As well as the age limit for regional head candidates must be 30 years. The agreement to bring the draft bill on the Pilkada to the Plenary Meeting was taken in a mini-regation meeting held after the Working Meeting of the Pilkada Bill on Wednesday, August 21. A total of eight out of nine political party factions approved the change in the bill. Among them are Gerindra factions, Democrats, Golkar, PKS, NasDem, PAN, PKB, and PPP.

Meanwhile, those who stated that they did not agree with the bill were brought to the Plenary Session only to the PDIP Faction. "Can the results of the discussion of the Bill on the fourth amendment to Law number 1 of 2015 concerning Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2014 concerning the Election of Governors, Regents, and Mayors be the law that can be processed according to the laws and regulations?," said Deputy Baleg DPR RI, Achmad Baidowi in a meeting at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, August 21.
