Medan, CNN Indonesia –
General Electoral Commissions (KPU) Medan City has completed the recap of the vote counting results for the 2020 Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Medan. However, the winning team Akhyar Nasution-Salman Alfarisi did not want to sign the minutes of the open plenary session of the recapitulation.
In the plenary session, the results were that the Bobby Nasution-Aulia Rachman couple obtained 393,327 votes. Meanwhile, Akhyar-Salman’s competitors garnered 342,580 votes.
The vice president of the winning Akhyar-Salman team, Gelmok Samosir, said they found several irregularities during the Medan Pilkada process.
“We conclude that we will not sign the minutes. We do it as a way of thanking our voters. We have a moral responsibility towards our voters to see that this attitude is carried out,” Gelmok said at the Santika Medan Hotel, on Tuesday (12/15 ).
Gelmok said that from the beginning of the electoral process there were many allegations of fraud, not just on the day of the vote.
“Of course we are ready to lose, ready to win. But something is out of our control,” he said.
He cited the example of Belawan. His party found that voters in eight polling stations were using PCTs who were not Belawan residents. His party also asked for the polls to be opened, but the KPU refused.
In addition, he said, they suspect that hundreds of C6 letters (invitations to vote) did not reach the voters. This condition is considered detrimental to Akhyar-Salman.
“There were C6 letters that we found stacked in one place, that is, in one of the posts where there was a Paslon 02 banner. We have presented the evidence to Bawaslu,” he explained.
Akhyar’s team is still considering filing a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court regarding the recapitulation of the results of the vote counting.
On that occasion, Bobby-Aulia spokesman Ikrimah Hamidy said that his party did not oppose the results of the recapitulation carried out by KPU Medan.
“The technical problems related to invalid ballots were due to weaknesses in the distribution of records,” he said.
His party also has no objection if the Akhyar-Salman camp later challenges the results of the Medan regional elections before the Constitutional Court.
“Everyone has the right to go to the Constitutional Court. But we will hand over to those who sue if they have concrete data. If we ourselves think they are true data,” he said.
Bawaslu director Medan Payung Harahap said several records were evaluated. Finding Camp Paslon 01 regarding several ID cards that were not residents of Belawan participated in the vote, their party asked them to immediately report to Bawaslu Medan.
“This does not actually affect the results, but you entered the wrong number incorrectly. It is in 19 sub-districts. Regarding Belawan, we recommend that they give us a report,” he said.
In Medan Pilkada, President Jokowi’s son-in-law Bobby Nasution, who was paired with the Gerindra Aulia Rachman Party cadre, was promoted by eight political parties, namely PDIP, Gerindra, Golkar, NasDem, PPP, PAN, Hanura and PSI .
Meanwhile, his rival, Akhyar Nasution-Salman Alfarisi, only supported the Democratic Party and the PKS.
