JAKARTA, Legal Literacy - DKPP Sanctions KPU Chairman Regarding Gibran Rakabuming Raka's Registration. The Election Organizer Ethics Council (DKPP) announced the final severe warning sanction to the Chairman of the General Election Commission (KPU), Hasyim Asy'ari, on Monday (5/2/2024). The sanction was given because Hasyim Asy'ari was considered to have violated the code of ethics in processing the registration of Gibran Rakabuming Raka as a vice presidential candidate.

Reason for Violating the Code of Ethics

Hasyim Asy'ari was declared to have violated the code of ethics for not changing the minimum age requirement for presidential and vice presidential candidates, in accordance with the Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023, in KPU Regulation Number 19 of 2023. "Hasyim Asy'ari as defendant 1 is proven to have committed a violation of the code of ethics and guidelines for the behavior of Election organizers," said DKPP Chairman Heddy Lugito when reading out the verdict at the trial in Jakarta.

In addition to DKPP Sanctioning the KPU Chairman Regarding Gibran Rakabuming Raka's Registration, DKPP also issued a stern warning to six KPU Commissioners, namely August Mellaz, Betty Epsilo Idroos, Mochamad Afifuddin, Yulianto Sudrajat, Parsadaan Harahap, and Idham Holik.
