At the preliminary hearing, the Petitioners alleged that the Intan Jaya Regency Elections Commission (KPU) had not conducted the vote count recapitulation transparently. They questioned the Intan Jaya KPU’s finalization of the vote count recapitulation without the participation of the representatives of the candidate pairs.

The recapitulation had been initially scheduled to begin on December 13 and to finish on December 14, 2024. However, due to protests from the witnesses of Candidate Pairs 2, 3, 4, and 5, the session was postponed.
