MAKASSAR - The Honorary Board of Election Administrators (DKPP) imposed permanent discharge sanctions on Baharuddin Hafid from the position of Chairman of the KPU in Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi. The head of the KPU Jeneponto was found guilty of committing a violation after the Perindo legislative candidate complained about the rape case and promises to get votes in the 2019 Pileg.
The decision to dismiss the Chairperson of the Jeneponto KPU is contained in Decree Number 96-PKE-DKPP / IX / 2020 and Number: 104-PKE-DKPP / X / 2020. The DKPP decision was announced on Wednesday, November 4.
"Imposing permanent dismissal sanctions on Defendant Baharuddin Hafid as the Chair and concurrent member of the KPU of Jeneponto Regency since the reading of this decision," reads the DKPP decision.
In the verdict, the Chairperson of the Jeneponto KPU described the start of a complaint by Puspa Dewi Wijaya, a 2019 candidate who is also the treasurer of the DPD Perindo Jeneponto. After the determination of the DCT on September 26, 2018, Baharudin, according to the complainant, asked to prepare a place to talk about the winning vote mapping strategy.
The complainant prepares a meeting place at one of the cafes. However, in the complaint, the head of the KPU Jeneponto asked that the talks be held at the hotel.
"And here there was rape / coercion of sex by Baharuddin and vowed to help win complainant I as a legislative candidate for electoral district IV DPRD of South Sulawesi Province," said the statement of the complainant delivered orally at the DKPP hearing.
However, recently the complainant failed to qualify in the 2019 Pileg. The complainant also admitted that he was blackmailed by the Chairperson of the Jeneponto KPU.
"The defendant was proven to have violated the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct for election organizers," said DKPP.
Meanwhile, the legal adviser to the head of the Jeneponto KPU, Muhammad Nur, admitted that he could not yet comment on the DKPP decision. Because his party has not received a copy of the decision from DKPP.
"It means this, I can't comment on the letter of dismissal. I haven't received it, I haven't got it yet, so I can't comment on what is disruptive," said Nur when contacted by VOI, Thursday, November 5.
"So in my opinion, I don't want to be careless. Right now, we are reading and reading about the legal efforts we take, which we will take if indeed the dismissal letter already exists," he continued.
