"Bawaslu decided and stated that the reported party, in this case the KPU, was not proven to have violated procedures and mechanisms," he said as quoted by Antara. He said the position of Bawaslu in this case was neutral between the complainant and the reported party because conclusions had been drawn based on evidence and witnesses presented from each litigant. "This decision is based on reports, answers, conclusions from each party that we have analyzed and this is the basis for consideration of decision making," he said. He said in the trial the complainant's decision on behalf of Yan Firdaus did not attend the trial, the reason was not conveyed.

"The obligation of the trial that has been prepared and for this decision to attend or not, the decision must be read out, both the reporter and the reported party," he said. In the rules of the reporting parties, if the verdict has been read out, then an agreement will be given to the parties if they are dissatisfied, they can submit a correction. "This decision correction was submitted to the Indonesian Bawaslu, which is three days from the issuance of the decision. So, if there are parties who are not satisfied, they can submit a correction," he said.
