The Minister of Law, Suprancman Andi Agtas, stated that the\ngovernment has not yet discussed the Election Bill, which regulates the\nparliamentary threshold and presidential candidate requirements.\nSupratman noted that the government will submit the List of Problems\n(DIM) once the bill officially becomes a proposal from the House of\nRepresentatives (DPR).<\/p>\n
\u201cThat has not been discussed yet. It is still rolling within the DPR.\nOnce the DPR has finished, the government will certainly compile the\nDIM,\u201d Supratman said at the Presidential Palace complex, Jakarta, on\nTuesday (29\/09\/2026).<\/p>\n
Supratman explained that the Election Bill is a DPR initiative,\nmeaning the government\u2019s current position is passive, waiting for the\nlegislature. \u201cSince it is a DPR initiative, how can we take a stance if\nthe DPR\u2019s proposal is not yet available?\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
According to Supratman, there is an established legislative custom\nregarding the Election Bill and the Political Parties Bill. He noted\nthat the Election Bill is typically proposed by the DPR, whereas the\nPolitical Parties Bill is usually drafted by the government.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we are waiting. We are waiting because this is the custom.\nHistorically, the convention has been that for laws regarding elections,\nthey are drafted by the DPR. The Political Parties Law is drafted by the\ngovernment. Currently, the Election Law is in progress. We are waiting\nbecause it has long been an agreement that the DPR proposes it,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n
The DPR is reportedly set to hold a meeting with the leadership of\nnon-parliamentary political parties to discuss the Election Bill. This\nmeeting has been rescheduled and is set to take place this coming\nFriday.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Speaker of the DPR, Dasco, revealed that the audience was\noriginally intended to be held today. However, the DPR decided to\nreschedule to accommodate more non-parliamentary political parties that\nhad requested meetings.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is indeed a plan to meet with non-parliamentary parties,\naccompanied by the leadership of Commission II. However, it was\noriginally intended for today,\u201d Dasco told reporters at the\nparliamentary complex in Senayan, Jakarta.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/government-awaits-dpr-deliberations-on-election-bill-before-drafting-list-of-problems-1790679515", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
