Previously, Monday, May 29, Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menkopolhukam) Mahfud MD said the Constitutional Court would look for people suspected of leaking information about decisions related to the judicial review of the legislative election system.
On Sunday, May 28, Denny Indrayana via his Twitter account @dennyindranaya said, "This morning I received important information. The Constitutional Court will decide on the legislative election to return to a closed proportional system, again choosing the party's image mark."
In his tweet, Denny also mentioned the source in the Constitutional Court. However, he confirmed that the source was not a constitutional judge.
From the information he received, Denny Indrayana said that the composition of the Constitutional Court judges who would decide the lawsuit was 6:3. This means that six judges of the Constitutional Court stated that they would decide that the election would return to a closed proportional basis and three other judges would still break the open proportional electoral system.
Thus, Denny said that Indonesia would return to a closed electoral system which he considered authoritarian and corrupt.
Meanwhile, the Constitutional Court accepted a request for a judicial review of Article 168 paragraph (2) of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections, especially articles related to an open proportional system, which was registered with case registration number 114/PUU-XX/2022 on November 14, 2022.
The six applicants are Demas Brian Wicaksono (Pemohon I), Yuwono Pintadi (Pemohon II), Fahrurrozi (Pemohon III), Ibnu Rachman Jaya (Permohon IV), Riyanto (Pemohon V), and Nono Marijono (Pemohon VI).
