In response to Democratic Party and Nasdem Party, the Court has considered and instructed for DPR RI reelection in 15 Districts of South Halmahera. Therefore, every Court’s consideration to the reelection result may be applied as mutatis mutandis as well as a quo.

Court also rejected that violations have occurred during the reelection, since the report was informed by DPR RI candidate, named Boki Ratu Nita Budhi Susanti, which means the report is failed to meet requirements. Besides, Bawaslu reported that the violations did nothing to the final results. Therefore, MK declined Nasdem and Dems’ petition.(Nano Tresna Arfana/mh/kun)
