The Lawsuit Against The Pileg Dispute Rejected By The Constitutional Court, Mardiono Suspected There Was An Effort To Prevent PPP From Passing Parliament
Acting Chairman of the United Development Party (PPP) Muhamad Mardiono suspects that there are invisible hands who try not to pass parliament in the 2024 Legislative Election.Efforts to prevent PPP from passing this parliament, said Mardiono, occurred from vote calculations to lawsuits to the Constitutional Court (MK).The goal is to prevent PPP votes as much as possible from breaking the parliamentary threshold or a parliamentary threshold of 4 percent."As if there is a system that does block, limiting that every PPP (noise) will appear until those boundary points, it will definitely run aground," said Mardiono at the PPP DPP office, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, May 22."For example, when the Sirekap system at the KPU, when PPP was in the position of more than 4 percent, the sirekap became error and died. As if there was a system that didn't want the PPP (noise) to appear. I deserve to ask, I should explain," he continued.Unfortunately, Mardiono said that his party could not prove his suspicions at the trial because the Constitutional Court had issued a dismissal decision that did not accept applications for PPP legislative disputes in dozens of provinces."Unfortunately, the evidence has not yet arrived, then the Constitutional Court has locked it again, that the Constitutional Court's decision lawsuit has not been continued," he said.On that occasion, Mardiono expressed his disappointment with the panel of judges at the Constitutional Court over the dismissal decision.In fact, Mardiono hopes that the Constitutional Court will play a role in safeguarding the sovereignty of the people's votes in elections, especially those entrusted to PPP."Of course I am disappointed that the Constitutional Court did not carry out a comprehensive examination, so that it could provide a sense of justice to the people who have mandated their constitutional rights as sovereignty to the United Development Party," he said.It is known that the Constitutional Court (MK) decided that a number of PPP lawsuits in the 2024 Pilleg general election results dispute case (PHPU) could not be accepted.PPP, in its lawsuit, argued that there would be a transfer of votes from his party to other parties in a number of areas.In calculating the votes collected internally by his party, PPP claimed to have received 6,343,868 votes with a percentage of 4.17 percent and 12 seats in the DPR RI.Meanwhile, the results of the national recapitulation by the KPU stated that the PPP votes in the DPR RI legislative election were only 5,858,777 votes.
In the dismissal putsan, the Constitutional Court assessed that PPP did not explain clearly and in detail how the transfer of votes was carried out, who was the party or person who turned the vote, and when the transfer of votes was carried out.The rejection of the PPP lawsuit made the opportunity to qualify for the DPR or Senayan even more closed. This is because the Kaaba Party no longer meets the 4 percent threshold.
