Participating parties of 2014’s elections can only bite their nails after six parties have their pleadings blown away.

Rejected pleadings of Bengkulu feud were filed by Golkar, Hanura, Nasdem, PKS, Democratic Party, and Gerindra. While PKB’s pleading was considered ineligible.

Golkar objected inflated votes of its own as many as 56 votes while PAN’s votes were also inflated to 575 votes. It was happened because the Defendant has wrongly calculated the ballots presumably trespassing regulation contained on Act 8/2012 for the recap on District and Region. “After deep inspection of the C1 form, apparently the evidences were entirely downloaded from KPU’s website,” Justice Wahiddudin Adams explained the sentence on MK Plenary Room, on Friday (27/6).

Scanned documents on KPU’s website which also can be downloaded are not the final data. “C1 Plano form or the recalculation results have been corrected in PPS, PPK and KPU level. Thus the downloaded documents are invalid,” he said

Over the Due Time

Meanwhile PKB’s pleading is ineligible after it was registered after the due time. During the first due time there was no explanation from PKB over what the pleadings were actually objecting about. It was later revealed on the revised documents which registered on the second due time. PKB objected for DPR RI candidate but it was contained on revised document which supposedly registered on the first due date.

“According to the Court, the pleading is ineligible as the explanation was registered on second due date while it supposed to be explained in first registered files on the first due date. As contained in Article 30 letter d of Act of MK, it is considered ineligible and unacceptable,” Justice Muhammad Alim said. (Lulu Hanifah/mh/kun)
