JAKARTA - Komika Ardur Arsyad's Oration received an enthusiastic response from the masses when holding an action in front of the DPR/MPR/DPD Building, Thursday, August 22. Abdur asked President Jokowi to issue a statement that the Constitutional Court's decision (MK) was final. "As the president said a few months ago, the Constitutional Court's decision is final and we obey it. So that's also what he (Jokowi) should say today. Take care of the gentlemen in the Constitutional Court," said Abdur in an oration. Abdur also hopes that the KPU will remain upright with the Constitutional Court's decision. "And hopefully the KPU will obey what the Constitutional Court says, not the people in there," said Abdur. 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 change in the Pilkada Bill annulled the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) which changed the threshold for nomination requirements in the Pilkada. And 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-fractional view meeting which was held after the Pilkada Bill Working Meeting on Wednesday, August 21. Eight out of nine political party factions approved the bill amendment. Among them are the Gerindra, Democrat, Golkar, PKS, NasDem, PAN, PKB, and PPP factions. 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 into laws can be processed in accordance with statutory regulations?," said Deputy Baleg DPR RI, Achmad Baidowi in a meeting at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, August 21.
