JAKARTA, Legal Literacy - The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia will hold a preliminary hearing on the dispute over the election results for prospective members of the Regency DPRD in the Intan Jaya 2 Electoral District on Monday, April 29, 2024. This case is registered under number 152-02-09-36/PHPU.DPR-DPRD-XXII/2024 on behalf of the applicant Venos Sondegau, a prospective member of the Regency DPRD from the Nusantara Awakening Party (PKN) in the Intan Jaya 2 Electoral District, Intan Jaya Regency, Central Papua Province, with Serial Number 1.
In the preliminary hearing led by Constitutional Justice Arief Hidayat, accompanied by Constitutional Justice Anwar Usman and Constitutional Justice Enny Nurbaningsih, the petitioner, through his attorney, Regio Alfala Rayandra, argued that there was a difference in votes between the election results determined by the respondent (General Election Commission) and the correct election results according to the petitioner. According to the petitioner, the petitioner's vote acquisition should have been 3,378, but according to the results determined by the respondent, the petitioner's vote was 1,161.
“Venos Sondegau obtained 3,378 votes. However, the respondent determined it to be 1,161 votes. There is a difference of 2,217 votes,” said Regio Alfala Rayandra. The petitioner argued that the difference in vote acquisition was caused by the elimination of the petitioner's votes from two villages, namely Kendetapa Village and Mbamogo Village, totaling 2,217 votes. This reduction in votes was due to the petitioner's votes being robbed and/or eliminated by members of the District Election Committee (PPD) and members of the Voting Committee (PPS).
According to the petitioner, the votes that were robbed and/or eliminated were then transferred and added to the votes of other prospective members of the Intan Jaya Regency DPRD, namely Benyamin Kobogau from PKN serial number 4. In addition to the difference in votes, the petitioner in his petition also questioned the election implementation process which was not in accordance with the principles of direct, general, free, and secret (luber and jurdi) as mandated by the laws and regulations.
On this basis, the petitioner, through his attorney, requested the Court to grant his petition in its entirety, annul General Election Commission Decree Number 360 of 2024, and determine the correct vote acquisition results according to the petitioner or order the Intan Jaya Regency General Election Commission to conduct a Re-Vote (PSU) in all districts included in the Intan Jaya 2 Electoral District, which includes Homeyo District, Wandai District, and Ugimba District.
