Jakarta, NU Online
East Java's regional elections commission (KPUD) will consult with the Constitutional Court about postponing the gubernatorial election redo, because the legislative council has turned out its pockets.
"We need to know whether the Constitutional Court's decision on the redo would allow us to postpone it until Jan. 2, after the currently irrevocable Dec. 28 deadline," KPUD chair Wahyudi Purnomo said Tuesday, as quoted by Kompas.com.<>
East Java's legislative council has refused to approve a budget allocation for the redo without legal backstopping from the Home Ministry.
Stuck between a deadline and a stalled allocation, Wahyudi said the KPU had pled with the ministry to provide the legal protection.
"We will wait two days for the ministry's response," he said. Wahyudi, however, declined to respond when asked what the commission would do if the ministry failed to respond; the government has scheduled holiday leave days between Dec. 25 and Dec 29.
Separately, the province's acting governor Setia Purwaka said the administration was still making efforts to speed up a ministerial decision over the financial twist.
"That decision may come down this week," he said. (jp/dar)
