JAKARTA (SINDO) – The finishing of Local Election Disputes (Sengketa Pemilihan Kepala Daerah (Pilkada)) of North Maluku called to be filed in Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK
Expert of The Constitutional Laws from Gadjah Mada University, Denny Indrayana, said the limited revision of Act No. 32/2004 on Regional Government accommodated all local election disputes to the Costitutional Court. So, if the North Maluku case had not finished and could not find the meeting point, it should brought to the Constitutional Court to get the Verdict . ”Dont wait until 18 years after the Act legalized. If it is legalized today, bring the case to the Constitutional Court tomorrow”, Denny Indrayana explained in a discussion titled Reformation Results in Jakarta, yesterday. Denny considered North Maluku local election disputes case had been so crucial and prolonged. The Supreme Court verdict and its legal decision did not met the bright point, and it made the Government confused. The most precise solution is to bring the dispute to the Constitutional Court. “The Constitutional Court  is credible in solving local election disputes. So, the Government did not have to be confused and asked the Provincial Parliament of North Maluku  hold an assembly meeting”, Denny stated. In different place, Head of the Provincial Parliament of North Maluku  Ali Syamsi rejected to hold an assembly meeting to decide the winner of the local election. There was no regulation which stated that the winner of the local election could be decided by an assembly meeting. Last time, Minister of Commerce and Industry Mardiyanto brought back the problem to the Provincial Parliament. Because, the problem had been prolonged and all parties claimed that they had passed the right mechanism (sofian dwi/ ahmad baidowi)
