Yudia conveyed that the trial of case Number 91-PKE-DKPP/VI/2023 will take place openly. The public can witness the trial firsthand through the DKPP Facebook account, @medsosdkpp.

This case was reported by Hendra Kasim and Julham Djagea. Both of them complained about Ardian Yoro Nareng as a member of the North Maluku Bawaslu who allegedly intervened in the selection process for Bawaslu members throughout North Maluku Province by creating a WhatsApp (WA) group containing a selection team and a number of political party cadres.

"The agenda for the trial is based on a summons for trial, namely, listening to the main complaint points from the complainant, the answers of the defendant and listening to witness statements," said Hendra.
