So, the next question is, when will the Pilkada dispute really be resolved? Based on the existing Law, a maximum of 45 days from the submission of the application. However, it needs to be understood that the resolution of the Pilkada dispute is not just a matter of the issuance of a Dismissal Decision from the Constitutional Court. In fact, after the decision, the examination of the main case of the Pilkada dispute in the Constitutional Court begins. Here, the government must be more careful and not rush into making decisions. Based on the Constitutional Court Decision Number 27/PUU-XXII/2024, the inauguration should be carried out after all Pilkada dispute applications have been decided by the Constitutional Court, not just based on the dismissal decision. The only exception is for regions that in the Constitutional Court's decision are required to undergo a Revote (PSU). For elected regional heads, it is better to be more patient, because this is not just a matter of time, but also concerns the legitimacy of regional government legally. In addition, it needs to be remembered that regional heads resulting from the 2020 Pilkada also have the right to complete their term of office according to the mandate given by the people, even though in fact their term of office has been cut to less than five years.

Don't be in a hurry to come to power. As a state of law, Indonesia must comply with the Constitutional Court's Decision to avoid potential further legal disputes. In addition, this year is the final stage of the transition towards Simultaneous Pilkada and the alignment between the central and regional governments. Thus, if the inauguration of regional heads resulting from the 2024 Pilkada is still forced before all disputes in the Constitutional Court are resolved—except for regions that are required to undergo a Revote (PSU)—then this action risks creating a legal defect because it is contrary to the Constitutional Court Decision No. 27/PUU-XXII/2024.
