JAKARTA - The government will consider making a legal umbrella regarding the 2024 General Election. This is done after the three Papua New Autonomous Regions (DOBs) were just ratified some time ago.
"The legal umbrella (election) is being considered," said Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD when confirmed by reporters, in Jakarta, Monday, July 4, quoted from Antara.
Mahfud said there were a number of points that would be noted, namely the question of the occupancy of legislative representatives at the central level and the expansion regions based on the 2024 general election.
"That's all that matters, the others usually appear on their own when the main points have been agreed upon," said the former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK).
Previously, member of Commission II of the DPR RI, Guspardi Gaus, said that so far it was agreed that discussions at Commission II of the DPR would propose to President Jokowi to issue a Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu) related to the 2024 Election.
"So far, discussions and talks at Commission II of the DPR have agreed that the Perppu will be adopted to fill the void of legal instruments regarding the 2024 Election in those locations rather than revising Law Number 7/2017 concerning General Elections," he said, in Jakarta, Sunday (3/3). /7).
Commission II of the DPR tends to prefer that the president issue a Perppu regarding the emergence of electoral districts due to the division of three provinces in Papua and the National Capital (IKN) of the Archipelago.
According to him, the tendency of the factions in Commission II of the DPR to consider revising the Election Law will take a long time and may spread to other clusters.
"In fact, we will only fill in the gaps in the rules regarding the election because of the new autonomous regions in the three provinces in Papua and IKN," he said.
