"Later back here is already evening, it was disbanded," said Suhartoyo. "In the morning, the Chief of Panel Three sessions of the 2024 PHPU, Constitutional Justice Arief Hidayat, asked the KPU to seriously face the case. He conveyed this because he found the KPU RI commissioner as the Defendant Number 246-01-1206/PHPU. The binding one is not there later," he said.
"Please convey that the KPU must be serious. So since yesterday's (dispute) presidential election, the KPU has not taken these issues seriously. It must be conveyed to the commissioner," he said.
