ASATUNEWS - constitutional expert who is also a presidential candidate who will put forward the Crescent Star Party, Prof. Dr. Yusril Ihza Mahendra, still continued to petition for Presidential Elections Act to the Constitutional Court (MK). Previously, the Court granted the judicial review also, the proposed Civil Society Coalition for Election Simultaneously, among others, led by Effendi Gazali. Court decisions: legislative and presidential elections held simultaneously on the same day starting in 2019.
"After carefully reviewing the decision Effendi Ghazali, I decided I was not going to pull pemohonon Act test the presidential election. I keep moving forward. I have to fix the petition and show that my application was not ne bis in idem. There is a difference with the petition Effendi Ghazali, "said Yusril via his Twitter account, which must be written with a lot of abbreviations.
On Monday (3/2), according to Yusril, the Court will continue hearing the petition for Presidential Elections Act which Yusril proposed.
"I begged, after the Court declared provisions of the Presidential Election Law who tested contrary to the Constitution of '45 and had no binding legal force, the Court interpreted the meaning of Article 6A directly paragraph 2 and Article 22 E Constitution 45. With the Court's interpretation, dipelukan no longer change the law to carry out simultaneous elections, "said Yusril.
He also criticized the legal reasoning of the Constitutional Court which states stages of the election will be disrupted if the elections in 2014 simultaneous dilaksakan this. "The Court's not the Commission. Meanwhile, the Commission itself said they were ready to carry out any decision of the Court. Thus, the Court's decision-fetched it, "said Yusril.
According to Yusril, resignation legislative elections of April and together with the presidential election in July will be better. "To this day, it is still a mess DPT. Sound card for pileg also not printed, let alone distributed to the regions. If pileg postponed to coincide with the presidential election in July, the Commission will be better prepared. Election costs could be saved half of it, "said Yusril again.
In a previous statement on Twitter as well, which dikicaukan after the decision of the Constitutional Court, on Thursday (23/1), Yusril said it would provide a way out of a legal vacuum problem occurs if the Court feared pileg and presidential elections held simultaneously this year as well.
"In my request, I showed jelan out of it. I directly asked the Court to interpret the intent of Article 6A paragraph 2 and Section 22E of the '45 Constitution. If the Court interpret the intent of paragraph 2 of Article 6A, political parties participating in elections to nominate a candidate pair before pileg, do not need another law to do so. If the Court interpreted Article 22 E of paragraph 1 that the elections held once in the same year and the presidential election means pileg together, no need to change the legislation to implement it. Thus, unification and presidential pileg be implemented in 2014 as well, "said Yusril.
Apparently, Yusril legal footing is quite strong. Will the Court granted the petition will Yusril?
