Deputy Chair of Commission II of the DPR and PDIP Central Executive\nBoard Chairman Deddy Sitorus stated that he has heard of discussions at\nthe leadership level regarding revisions to the Election Law. However,\nDeddy mentioned that no draft of the Election Bill has been created\nyet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have heard that there are already preliminary and informal\ndiscussions at the leadership level related to several crucial issues.\nSo far, nothing formal like a draft exists because it is still being\nrefined at the DPR\u2019s Expert Body,\u201d Deddy told reporters on Wednesday\n(22\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
Deddy said that the KPU selection committee should be formed in\nSeptember 2026 if following the current Election Law. He refrained from\npredicting whether the formation of the election organiser would follow\na new law or the existing one.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know if it will use the new law from the revision or stick\nwith the existing one. We\u2019ll just wait; everything depends on the\ngovernment and DPR leadership in the next one or two months,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Deddy emphasised that the government is targeting to complete the\nElection Law draft soon. He believes that the government and DPR have\nenough time to prepare for the election stages.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, the government\u2019s revision draft should be in April 2026. In my\nview, this is realistic to meet the deadline and give us enough time for\nthe election stages,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
As is known, the DPR is rumoured to be discussing revisions to the\nElection Law secretly or behind closed doors. DPR Speaker Puan Maharani\nhas already denied the rumour.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, PKB Secretary-General Hasanuddin Wahid, or Cak Udin, is\npushing for the Election Bill to be discussed this year. Cak Udin said\nthat his party is still discussing the seat calculation system.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach party is conducting studies, discussions, in-depth analyses,\nand simulations on the crucial materials of the Election Law. In\naddition, Commission II has held various coordinations, hearings, and\ndiscussions with various stakeholders,\u201d Cak Udin told reporters on\nWednesday (22\/4).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hope is that official discussions on the Election Bill can be\nheld this year, either through a working committee or otherwise,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pdip-hears-of-discussions-on-crucial-issues-at-leadership-level-regarding-election-law-1776855157", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
