AKARTA, PUBLIC RELATIONS—Constitutional Court held the ruling hearing for case Number 101/PHP.BUP-XIX/2021 concerning 2020 Regional Head Elections Results Dispute for Nabire Regency filed by Candidate Pair Number 1 Yufinia Mote and Muhammad Darwis held virtually from the plenary courtroom on Friday (19/3). The Court in the Decision stated that the petition was partially granted.  

“Decision…, in the Petitioner’s pleading, granting the Petitioner’s petition partially. Stating that 2020 Regent and Vice Regent Election of Nabire Regency with the basis of the revised Final Voters List according to the law and to conduct an election redo using the direct voting system referring to the Decision for case Number 84/PHP.BUPXIX/2021,” stated the Chief Justice Anwar Usman as the Plenary Chairman accompanied by other Justices. 

The Court in this decision reaffirmed the petition filed by other petitioners, namely Fransiscus Xaverius Mote and Tabroni bin M. Cahya in the case Number 84/PHP.BUP-XIX/2021 which had been ruled by the Court previously in the same day deciding that the 2020 Regent Election of Nabire was conducted based on the invalid Final Voters List (DPT), illogical and did not use direct voting system hence the voting results were invalid. 

Therefore, the Court commanded the General Elections Commission (KPU) of Nabire Regency to conduct an election redo for the Regent and Vice Regent of Nabire based on the revised DPT according to the law. That being said, the Decisions Number  101/PHP.BUP-XIX/2021 and 84/PHP.BUP-XIX/2021 could not be treated separately. 

“Considering that the decision for a quo case should refer to the decision for case Number 84/PHP.BUP-XIX/2021, then, as the legal consequence to the a quo case should be applied the same legal consequence that was compliance to the Decision of the Constitutional Court Number 84/ PHP.BUP-XIX/2021 dated on March 19, 2021 read earlier which was the a quo case should also conduct an election redo as commanded in the Decision Number 84/ PHP.BUP-XIX/2021. Therefore, the Court concluded that there was no relevance in considering the Petitioner’s claims any further,” explained Justice Daniel Yusmic P. Foekh in reading the legal consideration of the decision.
