The Constitutional Court on Monday decided that Busyro Muqoddas would serve a full four-year term as a chairman the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
"Article 34 of the KPK Law on the commission's leadership tenure cannot be interpreted other than four years, for those appointed collectively since the beginning, as well as their replacements," Constitutional Court judge Hamdan Zoelva said, reading the ruling.
KPK leadership consists of five commissioners, a chairman and four deputy chairmen.
While this means that Busyro will serve as one of the five commissioners for another three years, as he was appointed in 2010, it does not make him the automatic chairman for the 2011-2015 term.
The KPK will hold an election through the House of Representatives later this year to determine the chairman.
This also means that the current KPK leadership selection committee will only have to forward 8 names for the other 4 remaining spots for the House to process during a fit and proper test due next month.
Separately, human rights activist Bambang Widjojanto, who came second after Busyro during last year's KPK chairman election, officially registered for a position on the KPK leadership on Monday.
Another heavy contender registering this morning included Yunus Husein, the chairman of the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK).
The registration period closes today at 4 p.m.
