Presidential Election Dispute Hearing at the Constitutional Court: KPU's Response Regarding Gibran's Nomination Lawsuit for Vice President

"Dream - The General Election Commission (KPU) responded to the lawsuits filed by Candidate Pair 01 and 03 in the ongoing dispute hearing or Dispute of the General Election Results (PHPU) at the Constitutional Court Building on Thursday, March 28, 2024. KPU's Legal Counsel, Hifdzil Alim, provided a response to the applicant's argument stating that KPU had violated the rules by accepting the nomination of Gibran Rakabuming Raka as the candidate for vice president number 2."

Hifdzil asserts that what the applicant conveyed is not relevant. Because throughout the electoral process, from registration to campaign and debate for the 2024 Presidential Election, there has not been a single applicant who objected to Gibran Rakabuming Raka's registration.

"If the applicant argues that the determination of the vice presidential candidate number 2 does not meet the formal requirements, the applicant should raise objections or at least object during the implementation, starting from the drawing of the number order of the candidate pairs to the implementation of the campaign with the method of candidate debates,"

Hifdzil said, the applicant did not object at all to the KPU. On the contrary, candidate pairs number 1 and 3, along with candidate pair number 2, followed the stages from the drawing of candidate numbers to the implementation of the campaign with the debate method.

"Even in the implementation of a campaign with a debate method between candidate pairs, the applicants throw questions at each other, facilitated by the respondent's rebuttals."
reveal Hifdzil.

"Newly Questioned After the Vote Count Results Come Out"

Therefore, Hifdzil concluded that the non-communication of any objections from the applicants is a form of strangeness.

Because it has only been presented as an allegation of the failure to fulfill the formal requirements for the registration of the 2024 presidential candidate after the vote counting results are known.

"The question is, if the applicant obtains the most votes in the 2024 Election, will the applicant argue the allegation of non-fulfillment of formal requirements for candidate registration? Of course, the answer is no!"
he said.

"Dream.co.id."

"Thus, the applicant's argument stating that the respondent intentionally accepted candidate number 2 unlawfully and violated the law is not proven."
say Hifdzil.
