JAKARTA - The Governor of Jakarta who was elected in the 2024 Pilkada, Pramono Anung, admitted that he had no problem if the schedule for the inauguration of an undisputed regional head at the Constitutional Court (MK), including himself, was postponed.
Initially, the government planned the inauguration of regional heads on February 6. Now, the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) has postponed the inauguration schedule between 17, 18, 19, and January 20.
"Anyway, I, as the government of Jakarta, must obey, obey, obey the central government," Pramono said when met in the Ancol area, North Jakarta, Friday, January 31.
Pramono admitted that he understood the time for the inauguration of regional heads to be fully under the authority of the central government. This is because he has experience in formulating laws and regulations when he was still Cabinet Secretary
"There are 152 words related to the central and regional governments, the authority to regulate it lies with the central government, including the inauguration of being carried out completely by the central government. I want to go at any time," said Pramono.
Previously, Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian revealed that the timing option for the inauguration of regional heads was held between 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th January. The postponement of this schedule takes into account the trial process for the dispute over the results of the elections at the Constitutional Court.
The Constitutional Court will read out the interim decision on February 4-5, 2024. Thus, the government can combine the inauguration of regional heads who are not in dispute with regional disputes whose lawsuits were rejected by the Constitutional Court in the interim decision to one time.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Home Affairs has 14-15 days to inaugurate regional heads since the reading of the decision on the sidelines of the 2024 Pilkada dispute on February 4-5, 2025.
"Approximately 12-14 days, 12-14 days if calculated from the 5th [February] [reading] of the verdict, meaning [the inauguration of the regional head] approximately 17-18-19-20 [February]," said Tito.
