Jakarta, (MKRI) — The Constitutional Court (MK) issued a verdict for case No. 23-02-04-01/PHPU.DPR-DPRD-XXII/2024 on the 2024 DPR-DPRD (House of Representatives-Regional Legislative Council) election results dispute. The petition was filed by Jufri Sulaiman, a candidate for the Aceh Legislative Council (DPRA) from the electoral district of Aceh 5. The verdict was delivered by the nine constitutional justices on Tuesday, May 21, 2024 in the plenary courtroom.

In its considerations, the Court stated that at the preliminary hearing on Tuesday, April 30 at 13:30 WIB, it had requested the Petitioner to clarify the object of the petition. The Petitioner confirmed that the petition concerned the rejection of the KPU’s Sirekap (vote recapitulation information system) results.

Subsequently, the justice deliberation meeting (RPH) on May 15 had concluded that the Petitioner’s request did not involve the annulment of the election results certification. Therefore, the Petitioner’s petition was outside the Court’s authority.

“[The Court] rules that it does not have the authority to adjudicate the Petitioner’s petition,” said Chief Justice Suhartoyo.
