Indonesia’s election ethics body to hear four complaints over Gibran’s nomination
Indonesia’s election ethics body will hear four complaints about the 2024 presidential election.
The complaints were filed with DKPP, which oversees ethics matters involving election officials, against the KPU election commission and Bawaslu election supervisory agency.
The complaints allege ethics violations by the election bodies in their handling of Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s nomination.
The complainants say the KPU improperly added a rule to its election regulation and failed to properly check Gibran’s education documents.
They also accuse the KPU of limiting Bawaslu’s access to nomination documents and the candidate information system.
DKPP says the complaints concern election officials’ conduct, not Gibran’s later resignation as vice-president.
A hearing date has not yet been announced, but DKPP says it will provide details once the schedule is set.
Indonesia’s election ethics body will schedule hearings on four complaints about alleged ethical violations by election officials over Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s nomination.
DKPP chair Heddy Lugito said the complaints met administrative and substantive requirements.
The complaints concern alleged conduct by the General Elections Commission (KPU) and the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) during the 2024 election.
Heddy said the proceedings concern election ethics and are separate from Gibran’s resignation as vice president.
A hearing date has not yet been announced.
