JAKARTA, MKRI – The Constitutional Court (MK) held a preliminary hearing on the Election Results Dispute for House of Representatives (DPR) – Regional Legislative Council (DPRD) on Thursday afternoon, May 2, 2024. The hearing was presided over by Constitutional Justices Arief Hidayat (panel chair), Anwar Usman, and Enny Nurbaningsih.

The hearing took place at Panel 3 Courtroom for examining case No. 206-02-05-11/PHPU.DPR-DPRD-XXII/2024. The petition was filed by Fenty Lindari Amir Fauzi, a DPRD candidate of DKI Jakarta Province, Electoral District (Dapil) 7 with candidacy number 4 from the National Democratic Party (NasDem), with the petition object on the General Election Commission (KPU) Decree No. 360 of 2024.

At the hearing, the Petitioner did not attend even though sufficient time had been given. Therefore, the Constitutional Justice Arief Hidayat concluded that the Petitioner was not serious about  participating in the hearing process.

"Because the Petitioner was not summoned, it was stated that she was not serious," said Arief Hidayat as Panel Chair 3.

Previously, the Petitioner argued that there were differences in vote calculations between the Respondent's data and the data presented by the Petitioner based on the C1 copy for DKI Jakarta 7. According to the Petitioner, the correct vote acquisition was 19,320 votes, different from the total of 4,108 votes, which was certified by the Respondent. Meanwhile, Wibi Andrino, NasDem legislative candidate number 5, should have received 9,002 votes, different from the 23,925 votes previously certified by the Respondent.

In its petition, the Petitioner requests the Court to annul the KPU Decree NO. 360 of 2024 and certify the correct vote acquisition according to the Petitioner. (*)
