JAKARTA - Chairman of the PKB faction of the DPR RI Jazilul Fawaid responded to a request for a judicial review (JR) regarding the article governing the interim replacement (PAW) of members of the DPR RI to the Constitutional Court (MK). Jazilul emphasized that the replacement of board members is the authority of a political party (Parpol) so that the Constitutional Court should reject the lawsuit.
Jazilul considered that the lawsuit against the PAW article to the Constitutional Court was inappropriate and irrelevant because the replacement of members of the DPR was the right of a political party. According to him, it is political parties that have the authority to replace it according to existing regulations.
Jazilul explained that the members of the council are representatives of political parties and are party cadres. Before running as candidates for legislative members (Caleg), he said, they must first become members of the party.
"Caleg are party cadres. Not just anyone can run as a legislative candidate. Their status must be clear as party cadres," said Jazilul, Wednesday, April 23.
Therefore, continued Jazilul, only parties have the right to conduct PAW to members of the DPR. Because it was the party that carried it in the legislative election (Pileg).
"The MD3 Law has clearly regulated the PAW issue. So far, the replacement has been in accordance with existing procedures," explained the Deputy Chairman of the Budget Agency (Banggar) of the DPR RI.
Jazilul emphasized that if there are parties who sue the PAW article, then the party wants to cut the party's authority towards its members. "They don't want political parties to take care of their own household matters," said the Deputy Chairperson of the PKB.
The former deputy chairman of the MPR RI was surprised by the existence of two identical lawsuits against the Constitutional Court. As is known, on the website of the Constitutional Court on Tuesday, April 22, there were two lawsuits related to the rights of PAW members of the DPR by the party. The first lawsuit was filed by Chindy Trivendy Junior, Halim Rahmansah, Insan Kamil, Muhammad Arya Ansar, and Wahyu Dwi Kanang. The second lawsuit was filed by Zico Leonard Djagardo Simanjuntak.
"That's the spirit of those who want to cut the authority of political parties. What's really going on? How come there are two identical lawsuits about PAW," said Jazilul.
Jazilul then highlighted the plaintiff's request for PAW to conduct a general election (Pemilu) in the electoral district (Dapil). He admitted that he was confused, because the elected candidates and members of the DPR had gone through a fairly long Pilleg process.
"In addition to being strange, the election in the electoral district for the benefit of PAW is a wasteful thing and a form of waste. So, it is impossible for there to be re-elections just for the sake of replacing council members," said Jazilul.

"So we hope that the lawsuit is rejected by the Constitutional Court. PAW is the authority of the political parties. This is in accordance with our constitution," he concluded.
