As many as 17 of 18 political parties claimed to register 580 DPR candidates or the maximum number that could be registered in 84 electoral districts.

The Jakarta High Court has ruled in favor of the General Elections Commission’s (KPU) appeal, overturning the Central Jakarta District Court’s decision to halt all ongoing preparations for the 2024 elections.

The Central Jakarta District Court has no authority to order the KPU to stop the election process or to ask the KPU to restart the 2024 election process.

The General Elections Commission (KPU) should not waste its authority to set the electoral districts and their allocation of seats in the House of Representatives and Regional Legislative Councils (DPRD).
