The letter would be sent after the Golkar Faction in the Parliament receives a letter from the Golkar Executive Board, Aziz Syamsuddin, Secretary of the Golkar Faction, said here on Tuesday.
The decision was taken following a ruling by the Constitutional Court (MK) that accepted the judicial review submitted by Novanto.
Novanto is the general chairman of Golkar, and therefore, it is important to restore his name, he said.
The Parliaments Ethics Council (MKD) has recovered his reputation following the MK ruling, which is the base of returning him back to the House Speaker seat, he added.
The decision was discussed in a plenary meeting of Golkar on Monday (Nov 21), he remarked.
Executive Chairman of the Golkar Executive Board Nurdin Halid said the decision was taken referring to the ruling of the MK concerning
"Papa asks for share" case and also based on the fact that the MKD never sanctioned Novanto.
Yorrys Raweyai, Golkar coordinator for political, legal and security affairs, said the current House Speaker, Ade Komarudin, would be replaced not because he performed poorly but because of a need to restore the dignity of the party.
Novanto, a cadre of the Golkar party, gave up the position while facing charge of violation of ethical code in the (MKD) for alleged misusing the name of the president while seeking a share in a project of gold and copper mining company Freeport Indonesia last year.
He was replaced by Komarudin, another Golkar leader.
Later, he was elected general chairman of the Golkar party and since then, the call for his reinstatement began. ***2***
