JAKARTA, KOMPAS – The Jakarta High Court’s decision to overturn the Central Jakarta District Court’s ruling in the lawsuit brought by the Prima Party reaffirms that the 2024 elections will proceed as planned. The court argues that judicial institutions must refrain from interfering with matters to do with the Elections Law outside of enforcing it.

In the Jakarta High Court’s decision read out on Tuesday (11/4/2023), the judicial panel presided by Sugeng Riyono, with fellow judges Hardi Mulyono and Haris Munandar, stated that the panel accepted the General Elections Commission’s (KPU) appeal. The judges also overturned Central Jakarta District Court Decision No. 757/Pdt.G/2022/PN Jkt Pst, dated 2 March 2023.
