JAKARTA, MKRI - The Constitutional Court (MK) held the preliminary hearing on the 2024 Election Results Dispute (PHPU) for the North Aceh DPRK (Legislative Council) candidate in Electoral District (Dapil) Aceh Utara 6 for Case No. 233-02-23-01/PHPU.DPR-DPRD-XXII/2024 at Panel 3 of the Court, Tuesday afternoon, April 30, 2024. The hearing presided over by the Constitutional Justices Arief Hidayat (panel chair), Anwar Usman, and Enny Nurbaningsih. The petitioner in this case was M. Nasir, a candidate for the North Aceh DPRK from the SIRA Party. The petitioner attended without using legal counsel.

In his petition, the Petitioner questioned SIREKAP in Dapil Aceh Utara 6 , Aceh Province. The Petitioner argued that there had been inflation and transfer of the Petitioner's votes to the Great Movement Party’s (Gerindra) candidate based on witness testimony at each polling station (TPS) carried out by certain individuals.

According to the Petitioner, election fraud or violation is essentially a criminal offense in accordance with the Election Law. On the basis of the arguments stated, the Petitioner requests the Court to follow up on the fraud by ordering a recount to avoid a sense of distrust and disappointment from the Petitioner's supporting community.
