KPUD seeks review by Supreme Court

JAKARTA: The Depok General Elections Commission on Tuesday
filed for a review by the Supreme Court of the West Java High
Court's ruling overturning the victory of the Prosperous Justice
Party (PKS) in the June 26 mayoral election.

Aside from filing a review, counsel for the Depok KPUD also
urged the Supreme Court to prioritize the appeal so as to put an
end to the uncertainty facing the Depok city administration.

"We are not mixing politics with this case. We are
only taking legal action," said West Java election committee head
Setia Permana as quoted by detik.com.

In its application, the commission argued that the high court
decision contravened the law, but it did not submit any new
evidence as required for a case review. --JP
