However, Denny reminded that the 60 days given by the Constitutional Court was not a long time to win the South Kalimantan Pilkada.
The former official of the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono era also asked his supporters to prepare for the re-voting (PSU) which will be held in 6 sub-districts and 24 polling stations.
“Let us together strengthen our intentions and determination. Ulun (I) and all of you have arrived at the end of the Constitutional Court, affirming the principles of politics without money, “Denny said on his official twitter account, Friday (19/3/2021).
As is well known, the Constitutional Court (MK) ordered the General Election Commission (KPU) of South Kalimantan Province to re-vote (PSU) in 6 sub-districts and 24 polling stations.
The six sub-districts that were ordered to be carried out by the PSU included one sub-district in Banjarmasin City, namely the South Banjarmasin District.
Meanwhile, the other 5 sub-districts, namely Mataraman District, Aluh-Aluh District, Kontak Makmur District, Martapura District, and Astambul District are in Banjar Regency.
In addition, the panel of constitutional judges also asked the South Kalimantan KPU to hold a re-election in 24 polling stations in Binuang District, Tapin Regency.
“Partially granted the petitioner’s claim and ordered the South Kalimantan KPU to re-vote in 6 sub-districts and 24 polling stations in Binuang District,” said Constitutional Justice Panel Anwar Usman, Friday (19/3/2021).
The panel of constitutional judges considered that the voting process in a number of polling stations and 6 sub-districts was fraudulent and the vote mark-up was in favor of the incumbent candidate pair.
With the re-election, the South Kalimantan KPU decision to win the incumbent Sahbirin Noor was canceled. This decision applies to regions that are required to hold a re-vote.
The General Election Commission (KPU) of South Kalimantan Province previously determined the votes acquired by the candidate pair for governor and deputy governor number 1, Sahbirin Noor and Muhidin, winning 8,127 votes from pair number 2, Denny Indrayana and Difriadi Derajat.
The open plenary meeting of the recapitulation of vote count results in the 2020 South Kalimantan Pilkada which was held 17-18 for 13 districts / cities at the Golden Tulip Hotel, Friday (18/12/2020), finally officially determined the acquisition of the two pairs of candidates, where the difference in votes did not reach 1 percent, to be precise 0.48 percent.
The KPU determined that the total votes acquired by the Sahbirin-Muhidin pair that were carried out by the Golkar, PAN, PDIP, Nasdem, PKS, PKB, and supported by PSI, PKPI and Perindo was 851,822 votes or 50.24 percent.
Meanwhile, the total votes acquired by the Denny-Difri pair carried out by the Gerindra, Democrat and PPP parties were 843,695 votes or 49.76 percent, of the total valid voter ballots on the voting on December 9, 2020, as many as 1,695,517 votes.
