Jakarta –
Former Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights (Wamenkumham) who now works as an advocate, Denny Indrayanaclaiming to have received information regarding the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) regarding the legislative election system which will return to closed proportional system or vote for a party. It is claimed by Denny that the verdict was colored by dissenting opinions at the Constitutional Court.
“This morning I received important information. The Constitutional Court will decide that the legislative election will return to a closed proportional system, again choosing only party symbols. The information states that the composition of the decision is 6 to 3 dissenting,” said Denny Indrayana to reporters, Sunday (28/5/ 2023).
Where did Denny get that information?
“Who is the source? A person whose credibility I really trust, who is definitely not a Constitutional Justice. So, we return to the New Order election system: authoritarian and corrupt,” said Denny.
He also rolled out issues related to the extension of the term of office of the KPK leadership to the submission of Moeldoko’s Judicial Review (PK) regarding the Democratic Party dispute. Denny himself is known to be one of Anies Baswedan’s supporters as a presidential candidate (bacapres).
“KPK is controlled, leaders tend to have problems which are rewarded with a 1-year term extension of gratuities. PK Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko, over the Democratic Party, is suspected of being swapped with the judicial mafia corruption case at the Supreme Court. Baswedan is almost certain to fail. Is there still hope? What is certain is that we will continue to strive, while waiting for miracles,” said Denny.
MK Spokesman Says Don’t Know
On the other hand Spokesman (Jubi) MK Fajar Laksono admitted that he did not know there was information that said the results of the 2024 election decision returned to closed proportional. Even about the existence of a dissenting opinion, Fajar gave the same answer.
“I don’t know yet. (Regarding the dissenting opinion) I don’t know either,” said Fajar Laksono. Fajar said when contacted separately.
As is known, in the last hearing on Tuesday (25/5), the Constitutional Court emphasized that the judicial review examination session on the electoral system had been completed. In the near future, the Constitutional Court will decide the fate of the 2024 electoral system, whether open proportional, closed proportional or using a new/mixed model.
“This is the last trial,” said Deputy Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, Saldi Isra during the trial.
The Constitutional Court respects the parties who wish to submit experts for their testimony to be heard at trial. However, because the time was past the deadline, he was forced to be unable to appear in court. MK provides an alternative to put his opinion in writing.
“If there are still objections, please submit them to a conclusion, we will evaluate the objections,” said Saldi Isra.
The Court emphasized that it was not delaying the application.
“This needs affirmations because we will finish this petition. So don’t accuse the Court of delaying either,” said Saldi Isra.
Meanwhile, Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Anwar Usman asked the parties to submit conclusions within the next week. After that, the Constitutional Court will hold a Judge Deliberative Meeting to decide on the case. The Court did not mention when the decision would be made.
“The next agenda is the conclusion of each party, no later than the next 7 days,” said Anwar Usman.
As is well known, the open proportional electoral system judicial review was sued by:
1. Demas Brian Wicaksono (PDIP Probolinggo branch)
2. Yuwono Pintadi
3. Fahrurrozi (read legislature 2024)
4. Ibnu Rachman Jaya (resident of Jagakarsa, South Jakarta)
5. Riyanto (Pekalongan resident)
6. Nono Marijono (Depok resident)
The Petitioner argued that political parties have the function of recruiting qualified and qualified candidates for legislative members. Therefore, political parties have the authority to determine candidates who will sit in the legislature.
“Stating the phrase ‘proportional’ Article 168 paragraph 2 of the Election Law does not have binding legal force as long as it does not mean ‘closed proportional system’,” explained the applicant.
A closed proportional system has characteristics in the concept of political party sovereignty. Political parties have the sovereignty to determine their cadres to sit in representative institutions through a series of education and political recruitment processes that are carried out democratically as mandated by the Law on Political Parties.
“Thus, there is a guarantee to voters that the candidates chosen by political parties have the quality and ability to represent the people,” explained the applicant.
