West Aceh Regency KIP through his legal counsel, Imran Mahfudi, the answer states, eight pairs of candidates who have applied for the position and interests of different laws. Petition should be filed by each candidate. "In our opinion, because there are differences in interest and legal standing, then this request should not be filed in an application.

"The petition is defective because of a change in the way of formal proceedings, it is because the original request to change an entity, then it should request cannot be accepted," said Imran.

According to KIP Aceh Barat, the petition does not qualify the results of the election dispute case. Therefore, the description in the petition regarding violations that are intended by the applicant, are not included in the category of offenses systematic, structured, and massive.

Therefore, West Aceh KIP requested the Court to grant the exception. Then declare the petition cannot be accepted.

Because the amount of money provided by success team Alaidinsyah-Rachmad is money to the witnesses. "The money amounting to Rp 600,000 distributed among the witnesses as many as 13 people each receives Rp 50,000 per person witness. So what is alleged by the Petitioners to Related Parties are absolutely without foundation," said Agus.
