REJANG LEBONG - The Rejang Lebong Regency General Election Commission (KPU), Bengkulu, stated that hundreds of supporting data from the People's Party of Justice and Prosperity or Prima in the region did not meet the requirements (TMS) after re-verification.Coordinator of the Technical Division and Implementation of the Election of KPU Rejang Lebong Visco Alexander said, the Prima Party included 286 samples of party membership to the KPU to be verified. Furthermore, 164 membership as a sample was carried out to be carried out on April 1 to 4, 2023. "Of the 164 samples, we have carried out factual verification and the results were only three samples that were declared eligible, the remaining 161 supports were declared TMS or did not meet the requirements," explained Visco as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, April 11. The sample declared to meet the requirements only fulfilled the projected value of five members, while the minimum requirements for party membership in Rejang Lebong Regency were 282 members. Furthermore, the Prima Party had to deposit as many as 277 membership samples with a record all of them had to meet the requirements in the factual verification stage of improving the district/city level management and membership requirements on April 16 to 19, 2023. "The Prima Party can deposit new membership because it is currently in a period of improvement and the time is very tight. We will make improvements for only a few days directly conducting administrative verification in one day and direct factual verification," he added. According to him, the membership sample included by the Prima Party in the region has been declared by TMS because since the party was declared ineligible, many of its supporters have resigned.

Another problem is that the large number of residents who were included as supporters stated that they did not support and some of their supporters could not be found. Previously, the re-verification of the Prima Party as a candidate for the 2024 General Election was carried out by the Indonesian General Election Commission based on the Indonesian Bawaslu decision which won the Prima Party lawsuit on March 20, 2023.
