The presence of Nisya Ahmad at the inauguration of the West Java Provincial Parliament members on Monday (2/9) raised public questions. Many were curious as to why Nisya could be sworn in, even though she failed to win the legislative candidate election.
Quoted from Merdeka.com, Nisya was sworn in after Thoriqoh Nasrullah Fitriyah, the candidate who won the election from PAN, resigned. According to the KPU's statement, Thoriqoh resigned in mid-August and her position was filled by Nisya, who ranked second in the vote count.
