REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Commission II of the House of Representatives (DPR) has approved a draft regulation by the General Elections Commission (KPU) regarding regional head candidacy, aligning it with the Constitutional Court's (MK) rulings.
"Do we all approve of this? Thank God," said Ahmad Doli Kurnia, the commission's chairman, during a hearing session with the KPU and the government in Jakarta on Sunday.
"We all understand that the draft regulation fully incorporates MK Decisions Number 60 and 70, without any omissions or additions," he said.
On Thursday, the DPR postponed the ratification of the Regional Election Bill (RUU Pilkada) during a plenary meeting due to a lack of quorum, following protests in various regions opposing the bill.
