Roeskan Effendi & Rohidin Mersyah v. General Election Commission of South Bengkulu

Judgment

Question Presented: Did the General Election Commission (KPU) of South Bengkulu manipulate the official result “systematically, structurally, and massively” by conducting dishonest and unfair vote counting?

Alleged Acts: The KPU of South Bengkulu was accused of manipulating the official results of the Regional Head Election by conducting dishonest and unfair administrative vote counting which resulted in the defeat of Roeskan Effendi and Rohidin Mersyah by their opponent.

Procedural history: Roeskan Effendi and Rohidin Mersyah filed a complaint to the Constitutional Court.

Summary: In the lawsuit, Roeskan Effendi and Rohidin Mersyah alleged that the regional KPU allowed the winning candidate, who was an ex-convict with seven years sentence, to pass the candidate registration and verification process. Although the plaintiff already reported the findings to the election supervisory committee, the institution did not follow up with cross checking the document with the regional police department.

Conclusion: After the Constitutional Court completed its investigation of all witness testimonies, six out of seven judges decided to annul the results of the regional head election of South Bengkulu and ordered the KPU of South Bengkulu to conduct a re-election. However, one judge expressed a dissenting opinion that the law should not have disfranchised the political right of the ex-convict and stated that the law violated the principles of legal equality and legal opportunity before the law.
