JAKARTA - Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Sufmi Dasco Ahmad stated that the leadership of the House of Representatives did not target the schedule for the ratification of the revision of the General Election Law (Pemilu). He asked all parties to be patient while waiting for the ongoing discussion process.
"We have been back and forth, the election law has been sued. The Constitutional Court annulled, the Constitutional Court chose this, then the Constitutional Court again chose another one, so this time please be patient," said Dasco at the DPR building, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, April 21.
Dasco assessed that the discussion of the revision of the Election Law did not need to be rushed so that the resulting legal products could be of quality. Therefore, according to him, the discussion of the law must be carried out in a transparent manner.
"We want to make an election law that is really, let's say, not perfect, but close to perfect. We are asking political parties to conduct simulations, both in parliament and in non-parliamentary ones," said Dasco.
"So don't rush, because if the stage can just go, the KPU recruitment, Bawaslu can go without having to make a new law. We are nothing, don't let us rush or rush the law. The election law will have another one, we are confused about the MK decision from 1 to 5 there are other decisions. Meanwhile, he said, the MK is final and binding. Yes, that's about it," continued the Chairman of the DPP Gerindra.
According to Dasco, it would be better if the discussion of the revision of the Election Law was carried out with a thorough study, as long as it did not come close to holding the 2029 Election.
"If the discussion at the end is actually that the law will be less good, then yes. Well, while from now on, what is it called? From now to the election is still a bit long, so we still need to do a study, simulation," he said.
Regarding the start of discussions and the target for completion, the DPR leadership also stated that the decision depends on the agreement of the existing factions in parliament.
"Yes, if the target can't be targeted by ourselves, what should it be called? An agreement between factions after they are finished. Because the factions of the parties also have those who have not yet. We from Gerindra are Pileg, Pilpres that must be discussed," concluded Dasco.
