"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.
