JAKARTA - The Election Organizers Honorary Council (DKPP) concluded that all KPU and Bawaslu members were not proven to have violated the code of ethics and code of conduct for election organizers. Thus, the People's Sovereignty Party (PKR) complaint to DKPP was rejected.

"The defendant I and the defendant XII were not proven to have violated the code of ethics and code of conduct and code of conduct for election organizers," said DKPP member I Dewa Kade Wiarsa Raka Sandi when reading the conclusion of case decision Number 6-PKE-DKPP/I/2023 in the DKPP Courtroom, Jakarta, Thursday 30 March, confiscated by Antara.

With the evidence of the complaint, the Chairman of the DKPP Heddy Lugito then conveyed that the DKPP decided to reject the complaints of the complainants in its entirety and rehabilitate the names of all KPU and Bawaslu commissioners.

Previously, DKPP member Ratna Dewi Pettalolo said, based on the facts at the trial, DKPP assessed that Defendant I to Defendant VII, namely the chairman and members of the KPU were professional and had legal certainty in implementing PKR registration as candidates for the 2024 General Election.

They are also considered to have provided sufficient time for the complainants to prepare complete data and registration documents for PKR as candidates for the 2024 General Election.

DKPP assessed that the complainants, in this case PKR, proved not optimal in uploading registration documents into the information system of political parties (Sipol).

Meanwhile, related to the chairman and members of Bawaslu, Raka Sandi said that the DKPP assessed that they had examined the complainants, defendants I to defendant VII, witnesses, experts, and evidence of letters submitted by related parties in the trial of examination of alleged election administrative violations by the KPU reported by PKR.

Furthermore, in the decision, DKPP ordered the KPU and Bawaslu to carry out the decision no later than seven days after the verdict was read.

Next, ordered Bawaslu to oversee the implementation of the decision.

This case is related to the alleged violation of the election organizers' code of ethics (KEPP) by the KPU and Bawaslu commissioners in the PKR registration stage as candidates for the 2024 election participants who were complained by the General Chairperson of PKR Tuntas Subagyo and the Secretary General of PKR Sigit Prawoso. They gave power to R. Indra Priangkasa.

In their complaint, they suspected that the KPU chairman and RI member Hasyim Asy'ari and KPU members, namely Betty Epsilon Idroos, Mochammad Afifuddin, Parsadaan Harahap, Yulianto Sudrajat, Idham Holik, and August Mellaz as defendants I to VII were unprofessional and had no legal certainty in carrying out PKR registration as candidates for the 2024 General Election.

The defendants are considered not to have checked the completeness of the registration requirements document belonging to the People's Sovereignty Party which is stored in 38 flash drives.

Next, the complainant suspects that the Chairperson of the Indonesian Bawaslu and Totok Hariyono as a member of the Indonesian Bawaslu, namely Herwyn J. H. Malonda, Puadi, Lolly Suhenty, and Totok Hariyono as a defendant VIII until XII is unprofessional and has no legal certainty in carrying out a trial to adjudicate the registration of political parties for candidates participating in the 2024 General Election for neglecting documentary evidence stored in 38 flashdisks.
