DOK ANTARA

JAKARTA - The Constitutional Court (MK) received 275 applications for the 2024 Pilkada lawsuit or a dispute over the results of the 2024 regional head election (PHPKADA).

In the 'Laftar for Requests for Simultaneous Regional Head Elections in 2024', 15 applications for gubernatorial disputes have been registered, 213 applications for election disputes for regents, and 47 applications for election disputes at the mayor's level.

Member of Commission II of the DPR Ahmad Irawan also reminded the Constitutional Court to carefully decide on the 275 Pilkada Dispute lawsuits. He hopes that the results of the Constitutional Court's trial decision will later end the dispute in the Pilkada.

"I hope that what the Constitutional Court has done will end the dispute between the parties. Therefore, the Constitutional Court must be careful in deciding because any decision produced by the Constitutional Court must be accepted by the parties," said Ahmad Irawan, Friday, December 13.

Irawan said the Constitutional Court had a long experience in resolving disputes over election results. He believes that the process of handling disputes over the results of the 2024 Pilkada can be better than before.

"The long experience of the Constitutional Court makes me confident that from the management aspect and aspect of handling cases for dispute resolution results in 2024 it should be better than before," he said.

The legislator from the East Java V electoral district also explained that the application submitted to the Constitutional Court by the candidate pair was a form of seeking justice from the dissatisfaction of the candidates who had not received the results from the General Election Commission (KPU). So that the decision is a form of protecting the constitutional rights of citizens.

"Of course it concerns the truth that he believes is related to alleged violations that occurred during the implementation process and dissatisfaction with the implementation of the implementation stages," said Irawan.

"With all his experience, the Constitutional Court must understand how to deal with and resolve the disputed petition submitted to him," he added.

Irawan said that the dispute over the election results was a stage and forum for the process accountability and the results of the regional elections. He also encouraged the KPU and Bawaslu as election organizers to prepare everything needed in the process of resolving regional election disputes.

"KPU and Bawaslu as parties in resolving disputes on these results are important to prepare everything and prove that they have worked in accordance with the principles and principles of holding elections," said Irawan.

Members of the Commission in the DPR in charge of Election affairs also gave appreciation for the pairs of candidates who did not file a lawsuit on the results of the Pilkada. Irawan said this was a form of statesmanship.

"I appreciate specifically for those who do not apply for dispute over results to the Constitutional Court and immediately accept the results that have been determined by the KPU as the organizer of the election. An attitude that is knight in a political battle," he said.

On the other hand, Irawan advised regarding regions that carry out elections with noken systems such as areas in Central Papua and Papua Mountains. He asked the Constitutional Court to decide by considering several things.

"The Constitutional Court not only decides based on the evidence submitted by the parties, but also with all its beliefs, experience and wisdom in seeing the growing and practiced democracy in the area," concluded Irawan.
