Kapanlagi.com - Tensions in the 2024 East Java Regional Election are heating up! The gubernatorial and vice gubernatorial candidates, Tri Rismaharini and Zahrul Azhar Asumta (commonly known as Gus Hans), have officially filed a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court (MK) regarding the election results. This lawsuit arises from findings of blatant fraud during the election process, including shocking reports of zero votes in thousands of polling stations (TPS).
This lawsuit was filed on Wednesday night (11/12) at around 22:34 WIB and is part of a total of 270 election dispute cases that have been submitted to the MK. With registration number APPP 268/PAN.MK/e-AP3/12/2024, this lawsuit adds to the long list of 2024 election dispute submissions involving many regions in Indonesia.
Risma and Gus Hans are questioning the vote recapitulation results that favored the pair Khofifah Indar Parawansa-Emil Dardak. This second-placed pair was declared the winner by the East Java General Election Commission (KPU) with a total of 12.19 million votes (58.81%). Meanwhile, Risma-Gus Hans, who came in second with 6.74 million votes (32.52%), feel there are serious irregularities in the vote counting process. This situation is becoming increasingly tense and attracting public attention!
The Risma-Gus Hans couple officially filed a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court (MK) online on the night of December 11, 2024, precisely at 22:34 WIB. Through the official MK website, it was revealed that their lawsuit was registered with the registration number 268/PAN.MK/e-AP3/12/2024, using the Petition Application Act (APPP).
Their legal representative, Ronny Berty Talapessy, emphasized that this registration was carried out in accordance with the applicable regulations, where the MK provides a deadline of three working days after the KPU announces the election results. Risma-Gus Hans took this step after the East Java KPU announced the gubernatorial election results on December 9, 2024.
Interestingly, by that night, the MK had received a total of 270 requests for electoral disputes, with the majority related to the election of regents, followed by mayors and governors.
The legal team of the Risma-Gus Hans couple filed the lawsuit with strong reasons: more than 3,900 polling stations recorded zero votes, a phenomenon that is considered very suspicious given their support was evenly distributed across East Java.
Additionally, they found a striking discrepancy of up to 600 thousand unused ballots at the district/city level, while provincial reports indicated a figure of 1.2 million. This finding raised suspicions of structured, systematic, and massive (TSM) electoral fraud during the election. With high hopes, the legal team requested the Constitutional Court to provide a fair and transparent decision.
The East Java KPU has officially announced the pair Khofifah Indar Parawansa and Emil Dardak as the winners of the East Java Gubernatorial Election 2024 with 12,192,165 votes or 58.81%, while the pair Risma-Gus Hans had to settle for second place with 6,743,095 votes (32.52%).
On the other hand, the pair Luluk Nur Hamidah-Lukmanul Khakim garnered 1,797,332 votes (8.67%). However, this announcement did not come without controversy; the pair Risma-Gus Hans expressed disappointment over the vote counting process which they deemed non-transparent, considering their strong support in major cities in East Java.
The stark difference in votes between the winner and the second competitor has also drawn public attention, raising questions about the accuracy of the announced results.
The Constitutional Court has officially opened the door for the submission of disputes regarding the election results, which will last until December 18, 2024. After all documents are submitted, the Constitutional Court will immediately hold a preliminary examination stage to ensure the completeness of documents and the validity of the lawsuit.
In the context of the East Java Gubernatorial Election, the legal team of the pair Risma-Gus Hans has prepared a variety of strong evidence, including official documents from various polling stations, as well as witnesses ready to appear in court to provide testimony. If the Constitutional Court decides to proceed with this case, hearings will be held in stages, starting from witness examinations to the highly anticipated reading of the final decision.
The lawsuit filed by Risma and Gus Hans could dramatically change the political landscape in East Java. If the Constitutional Court decides to grant their request, the existing gubernatorial election results could be overturned, and the East Java Election Commission must prepare to hold a re-election in several polling stations.
Meanwhile, the pair of Khofifah and Emil emphasize that their victory is the result of an honest and transparent democratic process, urging their supporters to remain calm and respect the legal proceedings. Amid this tension, the people of East Java respond with a variety of reactions; some support the actions of Risma and Gus Hans, while others choose to patiently await the final decision from the Constitutional Court.
This couple noted striking irregularities when they found that thousands of polling stations recorded zero votes, along with a suspicious discrepancy in the number of unused ballots, which they consider a strong signal of fraud in the election process.
The Constitutional Court (MK) will undertake a series of important steps, starting from checking the completeness of documents to verifying various existing evidence. Not only that, but they will also hold hearings to listen to witness statements before finally delivering the awaited final decision.
This process generally takes several weeks, which can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the amount of evidence submitted.
