3. Fahri Bachmid

Constitutional law expert from the Indonesian Muslim University, Fahri Bachmid, asserted that the DPR has the authority to use the right of interpellation, the right of inquiry, and the right to express opinions. However, the use of these rights should be focused on supervising executive institutions, not on discussing election results.

Bachmid emphasized that the use of the right of inquiry to investigate alleged fraud in the election is not in accordance with constitutional principles. According to him, the settlement of election disputes should be carried out through the Constitutional Court in accordance with the provisions of the Basic Law.

"In this case, the process towards the Constitutional Court should be prioritized. Forcing the use of the right of inquiry in the context of elections will only damage the constitutional system," said Fahri Bachmid as reported by Koran Tempo.

Bachmid considers the use of the right of inquiry in election matters as an unreasonable and unconstitutional act. He asserted that issues related to election results should be submitted to the Constitutional Court and the General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu).

"If the discussion is outside the context of the election, it can be accepted. However, in the case of election results, legal efforts must be pursued through the Constitutional Court and Bawaslu," he emphasized, as quoted in the Friday edition of Koran Tempo, February 23, 2024.

4. Herdiansyah Hamzah

According to Herdiansyah Hamzah, a constitutional law expert from Mulawarman University, the right of inquiry does not have the authority to annul election results. The annulment of election results and investigation of fraud are the tasks that fall to the Constitutional Court (MK) and the General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu). Nevertheless, Herdiansyah considers it important to support the right of inquiry as part of the DPR's supervisory function. He also suggested that the use of this right of inquiry may lead to the impeachment process of President Jokowi, but this process has its own challenges. Herdiansyah explained that the impeachment process can only be carried out through the stage of the right to express an opinion, which requires at least 384 votes from a total of 575 DPR members. However, he highlighted that camps 01 & 03 have not reached the required number of votes, with only 314 votes. This statement was taken from the report of Koran Tempo, Friday edition, February 23, 2024.

5. Mahfud MD

Constitutional law expert and vice presidential candidate number 3, Mahfud MD, stated that the House of Representatives (DPR) has the authority to propose a right of inquiry to investigate alleged fraud in the 2024 election. Mahfud rejected the view that investigating election fraud is not in accordance with the use of the right of inquiry. "The right of inquiry can be used legitimately. Currently, there are a series of statements stating otherwise, but I assert that there is nothing that prevents the use of the right of inquiry," said Mahfud in his written statement on Sunday, February 25, 2024. Nevertheless, Mahfud asserted that the right of inquiry does not have the authority to change the decisions of the General Election Commission (KPU) and the Constitutional Court (MK) regarding election results. The right of inquiry can only be used to evaluate government policies related to elections.
