Constitutional Justice Arief Hidayat gave advice to the Aceh Party's attorney regarding the clarity of the applicant's identity in the case of Dispute over General Election Results (PHPU) for Members of the 2024 Nagan Raya Regency DPR.

This was conveyed by Arief because the attorney for the Aceh Party, Muzakir, had just conveyed the change in the identity of the applicant from the original individual to party name when the preliminary examination hearing had begun.

"Your Excellency, we first convey that there is a revision of the identity. Previously we conveyed the individual," said Muzakir during a preliminary examination hearing in the 2024 PHPU three panel trial room for the Legislative Election, 1st Building of the Indonesian Constitutional Court, Jakarta, Tuesday, April 30, which was confiscated by Antara.

Initially, Muzakir explained that the application submitted to the Constitutional Court was indeed on behalf of an individual, namely the candidate for member of the Nagan Raya Regency DPR number 2 Muhibuddin and the candidate for member of the Nagan Raya Regency DPR Number Urut 5 Abdul Rahman. The Aceh Party feels that the application is more appropriate if submitted on behalf of the party.

"After we saw it, it turned out that what was more appropriate was on behalf of the party because it was against PPP (Union Development Party). So, today there is a complete file, there is a revision," said Muzakir.

Arief Hidayat then said that the application for the legislative dispute in the Constitutional Court must have the correct identity of the applicant. Moreover, the applicant has been given sufficient time to properly compile their petition before the inaugural trial is held.

"You have the opportunity to make a 3 x 24 hour application after being determined by the KPU. Next, you are still given 3 x 24 hours to improve. On the opportunity to improve it, it is still open to the possibility of improving major repairs. Whether it adds, reduces, or anything is still allowed," said Arief.

After the application document was uploaded by the Court, the application became public. In addition, the respondent and related parties related to the petition have also prepared answers to the petitioner's petition.

"Well, now if it is changed, the major one, will it still provide a sense of justice?" said Arief.

Nevertheless, Arief Hidayat as chairman of the third panel still invited the Aceh Party's attorney to read out the arguments of his petition. However, whether or not the change in the identity of the applicant will be considered by the Court.

"Please. So, this is not an individual dispute, but an inter-party dispute?" asked Arief.
