Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, said President Prabowo Subianto could annull the results of the selection committee (pansel) for leadership candidates (capim) and candidates for members of the Supervisory Board (Dewas) of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) formed by the 7th President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

Ghufron said Jokowi's move to form a pandemic in June 2024 was a follow-up to the rules for the Pansel to be formed 6 months before the leadership period of the KPK leadership ends in December 2024.

"Pak Prabowo currently as president also has the authority to later annull, because this has his relay to the new president. Therefore, he also has the authority to continue or not, that is the president's authority," said Ghufron at the ACLC KPK building, Jakarta, Tuesday.

Ghufron also mentioned the purpose of submitting a judicial review (JR) to the Constitutional Court (MK) regarding the KPK Law regarding the age limit and the periodization of KPK leaders.

According to him, this is in order to maintain the independence of the KPK and so that each period the KPK leadership is proposed and processed by different presidents. Therefore, Ghufron views Prabowo as authorized regarding the KPK's Pansel. This is because the selection process has not been completed in the Jokowi era.

"That later it has not been completed because as of October 21 changing presidents, it is the president's authority to continue, including reviewing again or then changing it once again the president's authority," said Ghufron.
