JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Minister of Law & Human Rights Yasonna Laoly issued a letter No. M.HH.AH.11.03-26 on Tuesday (Mar. 10) noon regarding his decision to recognize the central executive board (DPP) of Golkar Party led by Agung Laksono.
Yasonna said his decision is based on the verdict from the Golkar’s Judiciary Council dated Mar. 3, 2015, that accepted a petition from Agung’s Golkar against Aburizal “Ical” Bakrie’s faction. He said accordance to Article 32 Paragraph 5 of the Law No. 2/2011 on the Amandment of Political Party Law No. 2/2008, the verdict from the Party’s Judiciary Council is final and binding.
Yasonna said he’s ready should Ical’s faction file a petition to challenge his decision.
Similar to Yasonna, Agung Laksono told the press that he’s also ready should Ical’s faction bring Yasonna’s decision into the courts. Agung, however, hopes for Ical’s faction willing to resume the reconciliation effort. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.
