JAKARTA - The United Development Party (PPP) assessed that there was a difference in perspective from the Constitutional Court when it saw the object of the 2024 Pilleg General Election Result Dispute (PHPU) lawsuit. As a result, the party bearing the Kaaba symbol could not prove the alleged fraud.

"There is a different perspective in seeing the object of the lawsuit that PPP submitted. Consequently, the Constitutional Court's decision is far from expectations," said PPP Secretary General Arwani Thomafi, in a written statement, Thursday, May 23, 2024.

Arwani said the Constitutional Court's decision did not continue the PHPU lawsuit, which was different from their expectations. However, his party still respects the attitude of the Constitutional Justice.

"We need to emphasize that PPP has fought as well as possible and with respect," he said.

"We are fighting for PPP voters in the right way by respecting democratic institutions," said Arwani again.

For information, PPP's chances of walking to Senayan are getting thinner. The Constitutional Court assessed that the PPP lawsuit which stated that there was a transfer of votes from its party to other parties in a number of baseless areas.

In the dismissal decision read by Constitutional Justice Guntur Hamzah, PPP was deemed unable to explain in detail the location of the vote transfer site. PPP also could not explain how it happened.
