JAKARTA (MKRI) — The Constitutional Court (MK) delivered a ruling for the 2024 DPR/DPRD (House of Representatives/Regional Legislative Council) election results dispute for case No. 211-02-02-02/PHPU.DPR-DPRD-XXII/2024 on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The case was petitioned by Maulidi Azizi, a DPRD candidate for the electoral district of North Labuhanbatu 2 from the Great Movement Party (Gerindra).

“[The Court] rules to declare the Petitioner’s petition inadmissible,” said Chief Justice Suhartoyo alongside the other eight constitutional justices.

In the decision delivered by Constitutional Justice Daniel Yusmic P. Foekh, the Court said that the justice deliberation meeting on May 15, 2024 had concluded that the Petitioner’s absence at the panel preliminary hearing was without a valid reason despite summons showed that the Petitioner did not file the a quo petition seriously. “Thus, the Petitioner’s Petition must be declared invalid,” said Justice Guntur.

The case No. 211-02-02-02/PHPU.DPR-DPRD-XXII/2024 was filed by Maulidi Azizi a witness from Gerindra. In his petition, he argued that there were violations in Tanjung Mangedar and Sei Apung Villages of Kualuh Hilir Subdistrict. For this reason, he requested the Court to annul the General Elections Commission (KPU) Decree No. 360 of 2024.
