Airin's Defeat Anomaly In The 2024 Banten Gubernatorial Election, PDIP Prepares Lawsuit To The Constitutional Court

JAKARTA - Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) DPP Ahmad Basarah said that his party found a number of anomalies or irregularities that occurred in the 2024 Banten Pilgub.

This was felt by the camp of the couple promoted by PDIP, namely Airin Rachmy Diany-Ade Sumardi. Basarah revealed that PDIP would file a lawsuit to the Constitutional Court (MK).

Basarah gave an example of the anomaly that occurred to Airin, namely the existence of power intervention. In fact, according to him during the 2024 presidential election, Airin was the head of the Prabowo-Gibran winning team in Banten Province.

"The first anomaly, beyond our reason. Airin, who is the head of the Prabowo-Gibran winning team, won Prabowo-Gibran in Banten. However, when he became a candidate for governor, he had to experience power intervention to thwart victory," Basarah said during a press conference at the PDIP DPP office, Menteng, Central Jakarta on Thursday, November 28.

Basarah revealed that he was directed by the Secretary General of PDIP Hasto Kristiyanto that his party would soon act on anomalies in the 2024 Banten Pilgub.

"Therefore, we will continue to carry out legal action, measured resistance. I have coordinated with Bung Ronny Talapessy, to prove the anomalies that occurred in the Banten Province Pilkada and we will proceed to the Constitutional Court," he said.

The chairman of the PDIP faction in the MPR also mentioned the results of a survey released by most research institutions before voting day. According to him, the survey results show that Airin-Ade's electability dominance is far superior to its competitors.

"Realistic or not? A survey result that has been almost one week, reporting a very significant comparison between Airin's voice survey process and the other candidates, above 70%, then in just a few days it could change significantly," he said, commenting on Airin's defeat in the 2024 Banten Pilgub.
