JAKARTA, LEGAL LITERACY – The General Elections Commission (KPU) stated that the petition of M. Nasir, a candidate from the SIRA Aceh Utara Party, is not related to the dispute over the acquisition of votes and has not received a recommendation from the Petitioner Party, so the Court is not authorized to examine and adjudicate this petition. This was conveyed by the KPU as the Respondent in the 2024 General Election Results Dispute (PHPU) trial at the Constitutional Court (MK) in response to the petition filed by M. Nasir, a candidate for member of the DPRK Aceh Utara from the SIRA Party for filling the DPRK Aceh Utara Aceh Utara Electoral District 6.

“In the exception, the petitioner's application is not related to the dispute over the vote count, so the Court is not authorized to adjudicate.
