jpnn.com – JAKARTA – The Constitutional Court (MK) has been asked to immediately make a decision on the judicial review of Law Number 10/2016 concerning the Election of Governors, Regents, and Mayors or better known as the Pilkada Law.
The Labor Party and the Gelora Party asked the Constitutional Court to decide on the judicial review they filed before registration for the 2024 regional elections begins.
According to the applicants’ attorney, Said Salahudin, if the decision is made close to the registration time, it is feared that the political cooperation or coalition that is built will be carried out in a hurry.
“As a result, it has the potential to produce executive leaders who are not qualified and who are less on the side of the interests of the people in the regions,” said Said Salahudin at the follow-up hearing in the Constitutional Court Courtroom, Jakarta, Wednesday (24/7).
In this case, the Labor Party and the Gelora Party submitted a request for a judicial review of Article 40 paragraph (3) of the Regional Election Law.
They asked the Constitutional Court to remove the provision that only political parties or coalitions of political parties that obtain seats in the DPRD can propose regional head candidate pairs.
According to Said, his client’s request is different from other judicial review cases of the Regional Election Law that are currently being processed at the Constitutional Court.
Therefore, he felt that Case Number 60/PUU-XXII/2024 needed to be prioritized.
The Constitutional Court (MK) has been asked to immediately decide on the judicial review of the Regional Election Law, here are the reasons.
