Yusril Ihza Mahendra, Candidate’s attorney of Regional Head Pekanbaru City Firdaus – Ayat Cahyadi (Related Party), said the Election Commission's decision of Pekanbaru (Respondent) that renders the client, will not result in any law.
"For us, the KPU Decree No. 79/2011 it does not mean anything and has no legal effect nothing against the implementation of the PSU (Repeat Voting), the result has been determined and announced a day earlier by the Election Commission of Pekanbaru city," said Yusril in Case No 63/PHPU.D-IX/2011 trial continued on Thursday (12 / 1) afternoon. The Decree No. 79 contains about abortion to Firdaus as a candidate for Mayor of Pekanbaru.
One reason, said Yusril, because the decree is not retroactive. In fact, according to him, reason is premised by the Commission in Pekanbaru abort Related Party is just making it up. "The claims that can not be legally defensible," he said.
Supposedly, Yusril said, the Commission held a PSU Pekanbaru act professional, independent, and independent. "Not siding with anyone," he continued. "KPU does not need to be word wasted."
In addition, according to him, the Commission also has shown alignments to Candidate Regional Head Septina Primawati and Erizal Muluk (Petitioner). Because, if the filing does not mention that the second wife questioned by the Respondent, then the treatment should also aimed at Septina Primawati.
According to Yusril, actually Septina was not the wife of her husband. At least, there are other women who were married legally by the husband Septina. "Although there are listed, some are not," he explained. In fact, Septina not explain it when registering as a candidate. And, the Commission of Pekanbaru never brought up this matter.
In fact not only that, further Yusril, Septina also did not mention the status of children in the form. "Why does this have never been questioned?" said Yusril.
Over this state, Yusril admitted to disappoint it. According to him, this is very unfortunate people of Pekanbaru. Therefore, there is no definitive regional head after the last General Election of 2011 until now.
