How long will the Opposition doubt the EC? Certain political parties persistently question the Election Commission, its decisions, and EVMs. If the EC fails to meet its constitutional obligations, the courts will not remain passive. Lawmakers should express their concerns in Parliament instead of rushing to court. #ElectionIntegrity #OppositionConcerns #ECTransparency #DemocraticProcess #EVMTrust #PoliticalAccountability #JudicialOversight #ParliamentaryDebate #DemocracyInAction #ElectionFairness

Sharing my view with TVRI World regarding the current idea of setting into motion the parliamentary right of inquiry (hak angket) by two presidential candidates in the 2024 general election. I think the political move will be protracted given the need of the two presidential candidates first to internally convince parties supporting their candidacy to be on board (they themselves are not party leaders), and then waging the battle in the house of representatives will take much time. This political route is certainly less preferable for a working democracy in contrast to the judicial route of taking post-election dispute to the constitutional court, normatively speaking. But more importanly, election result is not yet formally announced by General Election Commission. Hence a political move regarding post-election dispute is arguably rather premature.

Ohio, where the leader of the Republican legislature said there will be no fix this year to Ohio election law that will prevent Joe Biden -- but not Donald Trump -- from appearing on the ballot. If there is one thing that is true about Republicans, it is that they learn what Vladimir Putin teaches them about gaining and retaining power completely and implement it whenever they can. https://lnkd.in/excVE7ge
