DINAMIKA PEMILIHAN GUBERNUR JAWA TIMUR
Abstract: This research is
aimed at finding the reasons of the Board of Trustees of the General Election
Committee (DKPP) in granting the charge of Khofifah Indar Parawansa and the
reasons of the Constitutional Court in rejecting the charge related with the
Regional Head Election of East Java in 2013. This research is a normative
research with the approaches used consisting of Acts and Case studies. The data
used are secondary data involving primary legal material, secondary legal
material, and tertiary legal material. The data collected were then analyzed
qualitatively. The result of the research concludes that according to the
Costitutional Court, the Jalan Lain Menuju Kesejahteraan Rakyat (Jalin Kesra)
program conducted by Soekarwo is not a fatal mistake in the Regional Head
Election. According to the Constitutional Court, the program is a sustainable
program initiated and conducted since 2010. Meanwhile, the consideration of
DKPP to grant the charge of Khofifah-Herman is because the General Election
Committee was proven of diminishing the party constitutional right to suggest a
candidate in the Regional Head Election of East Java including Khofifah-Herman
for the candidate for governor and deputy governor. The grant and social
assisstance (bansos) program must be conducted in the first three years of the
regional head governance so that there will not be an allegation of the grant
and social assistance manipulation for campaign activities if the incumbent
plans to be reelected.
