Jakarta, Hilton News –
The Constitutional Court (MK) said it could not accept the application for disputes over the results of the general election (PHPU) or the 2024 Pileg dispute submitted by the DPR candidate and incumbent from the National Mandate Party (PAN) Sungkono.
He took issue with the votes of his partymate, Afrizal Tom Liwafa aka crazy rich Surabaya. Both are PAN candidates competing in East Java electoral district I.
Judgment No. 197-02-12-15/PHPU. The DPR-DPRD-XXII/2024 was read by the Chairman of the Constitutional Court Suhartoyo in a session pronouncing the verdict/decree in the Plenary Session Room of the Constitutional Court, Jakarta, Wednesday (22/5).
“Adjudicating, in exeption, granted the respondent’s exception as far as legal position is concerned, stating that the applicant does not have legal standing to file a quo application, rejecting the respondent’s exception for other than and the rest,” Suhartoyo said.
“In the main application, stating the applicant’s application is inadmissible,” Suhartoyo continued.
The Court also touched on the requirements of the application in the legal consideration of this ruling, namely the approval letter of the DPP of the political party to submit a PHPU application.
Arsul said Sungkuno through his lawyer admitted that he did not get a letter of approval from the DPP PAN.
“With these facts, according to the Court, the petitioner does not meet the provisions of Article 8 paragraph (3) PMK 2 of 2023. Therefore, the applicant does not have legal standing to file the application,” explained Arsul.
“Considering that based on all the above considerations, the Court is of the opinion that the applicant does not have legal standing to file a quo application, so the respondent’s exclusion regarding the applicant’s legal position is well-founded in law,” said Arsul.
