Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD is determined and has confirmed that the government and the people will hold simultaneous elections in 2024.
"Tonight's meeting was important because we were recently surprised by the issue of the postponement of elections because the decision of the North Jakarta court which won a party lawsuit and asked the KPU to postpone the election until 2025," said the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs in Manado, North Sulawesi, Saturday night, quoting Antara.
According to Mahfud, here there are two legal aspects, first, according to the usual law, the court's decision was the wrong room, the position was wrong because the District Court did not have the competence to determine the election.
In the Constitution already has four judicial environments, Article 24 states, the Supreme Court consists of four judicial environments, namely general justice, religious justice, military courts and state administrative courts.
The election dispute is in the realm of the state administrative judiciary, the Prima Party lost because it was deemed ineligible by the KPU to participate in the election.
"Revoke to Bawaslu in accordance with the law, if you argue with the KPU to Bawaslu, losing at Bawaslu sue to the Administrative Court, lose again. Now this suddenly appears to win in the general court," he said.
According to him, the room was wrong because this court tried the election affairs that had been decided by the previous court.
"If it is forced, for example, the Supreme Court will win it from a legal point of view, it can be declared as a decision that cannot be implemented," he said.
He supposes, for example, Olly Dondokambey as governor makes decisions, land across from the office is claimed to belong to the local government.
Then they were sued in court, won, but it was written that the address was different from the place where the land was.
For example, what was claimed on Jalan Jati turned out to be in the decision of the land on Jalan Jati, not that, the decision could not be implemented.
Simple is the same, this is a state administrative judicial matter to civil, and if it is civil, why are the people's rights taken and then given civilly to the Prima Party.
"It is not permissible, choosing it is the people's right therefore, (the decision) cannot be carried out," he said.
Mahfud MD's visit was to attend "Sacarita Night Deng Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs" with the theme "Maintaining Harmony of Diversity to Create Democratic 2024 Simultaneous Elections and Pilkadas".
The event was attended by North Sulawesi Governor Olly Dondokambey, Forkopimda, regional heads, sources, KPU, Bawaslu and other invitees.
