JAKARTA - The Supreme Court (MA) has decided on a dispute over the general election process (election) proposed by the Central Leadership Council of the Adil Makmur People's Party (DPP Prima) regarding political parties (parpol) participating in the 2024 General Election.

The Supreme Court has officially rejected the Review (PK) submitted by the Central Executive Board against the General Elections Commission (KPU) decision.

"Declaring a request for a review from the Petitioner of the Central Leadership Council of the People's Fair and Prosperous Party is not accepted," reads the Supreme Court's decision, Friday, August 11, which was confiscated by Antara.

In this case, the KPU became the party being sued. The case was decided by the Chief Justice Irfan Fachruddin, Member of Assembly 1 Yodi Martono Wahyunadi and Member of Assembly 2 Bright Bangun.

The PK application relates to the dispute over the general election process submitted by the PRIMA DPP to the Jakarta State Administrative Court against the General Election Commission Decree Number 518 of 2022 concerning the Determination of Political Parties Participants in the General Election of Members of the House of Representatives and the Regional House of Representatives and the Aceh Local Political Party Participants in the General Election of Members of the Aceh People's Representative Council and the Regency/City House of Representatives in 2024, dated December 14, 2022.

That for the stipulation of the Indonesian KPU, DPP Prima filed a dispute over the general election process to the Jakarta State Administrative Court with case registration Number: 468/G/SPPU/2022/PTUN.JKT which case was decided on January 19, 2023.

In the PK decision, the Supreme Court is of the opinion that the State Administrative Court's Decision regarding the dispute over the general election process is final and binding and no legal appeal, cassation or PK can be carried out, in accordance with the provisions of Article 471 paragraph (7) of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Election in conjunction with Article 13 paragraph (5) PERMA Number 5 of 2017 concerning Procedures for Completing Disputes in the General Election Process at the State Administrative Court.

"Thus, it is appropriate for the application for a quo's review to be declared unacceptable," wrote the official statement of the Supreme Court.

DPP Prima expressed objections to the results of the administrative verification of political parties candidates for the 2024 Simultaneous Elections, by submitting a Review (PK).
