jpnn.com – JAKARTA – Member of the General Election Commission (KPU) Idham Holik reminded DPR members who are ministers in the Red and White Cabinet to immediately resign from their positions as people’s representatives.
According to Idham, until now the KPU has not received a list of names of DPR members who must carry out interim dismissals (PAW), due to holding concurrent positions as ministers who were newly appointed by President Prabowo Subianto.
Di said the PAW process must follow the mechanisms that have been regulated.
“Not yet (the KPU has not received the list of names of members who have been dismissed temporarily from the DPR leadership),” said Idham when confirmed in Jakarta, Wednesday (23/10).
He said the PAW process for DPR RI members is technically regulated in KPU Regulation (PKPU) Number 6 of 2017 and PKPU Number 6 of 2019.
The two PKPUs refer to a number of articles in the MD3 Law.
As a first step that must be taken, the minister concerned must write a letter of resignation as a member of the DPR to the political party.
Then, the political party conveys it to the political party faction in the DPR RI and continues with a notification from the chairman of the faction to the Chair of the DPR RI.
“Then, the Chairman of the DPR RI conveyed to the KPU RI to verify the data on the most votes obtained by PAW candidates and the KPU Republic of Indonesia replied to the notification by conveying the results of verifying the data on the votes obtained by PAW candidates for members of the DPR based on the most votes obtained next to the Chairman of the DPR RI,” he said.
After all these processes were carried out, the Chairman of the DPR RI then forwarded the document from the KPU RI to the president.
President Prabowo Subianto in Jakarta, on Monday (21/10), inaugurated cabinet officials consisting of 109 members consisting of 48 ministers and 56 deputy ministers.
The President has also inaugurated other officials such as heads of agencies and heads of institutions, special envoys, and special staff on Tuesday (22/10).
A number of politicians who are members of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) were also appointed as ministers or at ministerial level in the Red and White Cabinet.
