The Application Contains Fundamental Errors

The PPP as a Relevant Party stated that the Petitioner's application was unclear (obscuur libel) in terms of vote comparison. The Petitioner's application which states that there is an error in the vote acquisition results, if examined further by comparing it with valid vote calculation result documents (Form Model C TPS Results, Form Model C Copy of TPS Results, Form Model D Sub-district Results, and Form Model D Regency Results), then there is no error because the vote acquisition determined by the Respondent is in accordance with the recapitulation results at each level.

In addition, the Petitioner's application is unclear because the petitioner's petitum contains fatal errors. In the Petitioner's Application Improvement dated March 26, 2024, at 12:59 WIB which was registered at the Constitutional Court Registry, the Petitioner submitted a petitum requesting that the Court decide the Petitioner's vote acquisition to be 24,413 votes and the Relevant Party's vote acquisition to be 24,362 votes, as stated on page 3 of the Petition.

The petitum contains fundamental and fatal errors because the Petitioner's petitum does not make sense when compared to the Petitioner's and the Relevant Party's vote acquisition that has been determined by the Respondent. If the Petitioner's petitum is granted by determining the Petitioner's and the Relevant Party's vote acquisition as requested by the Petitioner in the petitum, then there is a difference of 1,115 valid votes that are lost. Meanwhile, in its petitum, the Petitioner does not explain where the 1,115 valid votes that are lost went.

“The Petitioner's petitum contains a fatal error because it does not make sense when compared to the vote acquisition,” said M. Zainul Arifin as the legal counsel for the Relevant Party, the United Development Party.

Vague Application

The Aceh Party, which is also a Relevant Party in this case, explained that the petitioner's application is unclear because it cannot explain where the TPS location is that is the problem/difference in this application. In the subject matter of the application, according to the Aceh Party, the correct valid vote acquisition of the National Mandate Party (PAN) and the Aceh Party for filling the membership of the DPRK of the Pidie Jaya Regency 1 Electoral District is in accordance with the Respondent's Decree No. 360/2024.

“The petitioner's application is unclear or obscuur libel,” said Pebri Kurniawan as the legal counsel for the Relevant Party, the Aceh Party.
