TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Djohermansyah Djohan, director general for regional autonomy at the Home Affairs Ministry, said that the House of Representatives (DPR) should pass the Govenment Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu) on Regional Election that will govern regional elections in 2015.
"The DPR should just accept and move on so that regional elections are not disrupted," said Djohermansyah on Friday, November 28, 2014.
He said if the DPR decided to cancel the Perppu, he would submit indirect regional election draft to the DPR.
He further said that preparation for indirect elections is simpler than direct elections. "The problem is if the discussion drags on, it would become a problem because the 2015 regional election is [coming up soon]," he said.
