Candidate No. 6 in Sidenreng Rappang District Election 2013, couple Rudsi Masse - Dollah Mando, officially won Election after Constitutional Court decided to reject a lawsuit filed by three regional head candidates on Monday (09/30/2013). The lawsuit was filed by the competitors, Andi Walahudin - Hj Yuriadi Abadi, Muhammad Rafiddin – Bahari Parawangsa and Insan Parenrengi - Kemal Baso.

Verdict in a trial led by Chief Justice M. Akil Mochtar, the Court acknowledged that there has been violation of Election as claimed by the applicant, such as money politics and the mobilization of civil servants, but the Court did not assess violations are systemic.

"Only sporadic influence the vote totals were not significant and therefore cannot invalidate the election results," explained Judge Maria Farida Indrati.

In his judgment, the Court believes the applicant does not prove the existence of misappropriation of funds in social grant budget used to win Masse - Mando. The existence of a series of facts presented by the applicant describe nothing the systemic violations committed by the successful team winning the General Election, and thus, the Court decided to reject the argument of the dispute.

"Rejecting the petition of the applicant in its entirety," Akil lid in case number 110/PHPU.D-XI/2013. (Julie / mh)
