JAKARTA, LEGAL LITERACY - The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia will hold a preliminary hearing on the dispute over the election results of prospective members of the Regency DPRD in the Intan Jaya 3 Electoral District on Monday, April 29, 2024. This case is registered under case number 126-02-05-36/PHPU.DPR-DPRD-XXII/2024 on behalf of the applicant Julianus Agimbau, a candidate for member of the Regency DPRD from the Nasdem Party in the Intan Jaya 3 Electoral District, Intan Jaya Regency, Central Papua Province, Serial Number 8.
In the preliminary hearing led by Constitutional Justice Arief Hidayat, accompanied by Constitutional Justice Anwar Usman and Constitutional Justice Enny Nurbaningsih, the applicant, through his attorney, Regio Alfala Rayandra, argued that there was a difference in votes between the election results stipulated by the respondent (General Election Commission) and the correct election results according to the applicant. According to the applicant, the applicant's vote acquisition should have been 3,528, but according to the results stipulated by the respondent, the applicant's vote was zero.
“Julianus Agimbau's votes were zeroed, and according to the applicant, his votes were transferred, so Julianus Agimbau's votes should have been 3,528,” said Regio Alfala Rayandra. The applicant argued that the difference in vote acquisition was caused by the elimination of the applicant's votes from four villages by 3,528 votes. This reduction in votes is claimed to be a result of the applicant's votes being robbed and/or eliminated by members of the District Election Committee (PPD) and members of the Polling Station Committee (PPS).
According to the applicant, the votes that were robbed and/or eliminated were then diverted and added to the votes of other prospective members of the Intan Jaya Regency DPRD from the Nasdem Party. In addition to the difference in votes, the applicant also questioned the election implementation process which was not in accordance with the principles of direct, general, free, and secret (luber and jurdil) as mandated by the laws and regulations.
On this basis, the applicant, through his attorney, requested the Court to grant his application in its entirety, annul the General Election Commission Decree Number 360 of 2024, and determine the correct vote acquisition results according to the applicant or order the Intan Jaya Regency General Election Commission to conduct a Re-Vote (PSU) in all districts included in the Intan Jaya 3 Electoral District, which includes Biandoga District, Agisiga District, and Tomosiga District.
