JAKARTA, Public Relations of the Constitutional Court—The Constitutional Court (MK) rejected the entire petition No. 08-33/PHPU-DPD/XVII/2019 by Papua DPD candidate Hasbi Suaib in the 2019 DPR-DPRD (House of Representatives-Regional Legislative Council) legislative election results dispute (PHPU) hearing of Papua Province.

Constitutional Justice Saldi Isra read out the Court\'s legal considerations that the Petitioner alleged procedural violations in the DPR RI election in Tolikara, Dogiyai, and Deiyai Regencies, among others.

However, after careful examination, the Court stated that the claim was not proven and the a quo petition was irrelevant, therefore must be declared legally groundless for the whole. “The verdict heard, declares to reject the Petitioner’s petition for the whole,” said Chief Justice Anwar Usman in the hearing on Friday (9/8/2019) in the Plenary Courtroom of the Constitutional Court.
