Chairman of the province's KPU La Ode Abdul Natsir remarked in Kendari on Tuesday that in spite of the stage-wise holding of the Plenary Meeting in Southeast Sulawesi Province on May 8-12, 2019, and having officially ended, a certain section of the public are dissatisfied and are allowed to sue in line with existent procedures.
"It is beyond a doubt that the results of the vote recapitulation plenary meeting that concluded two days back have been very transparent and have not been covered up," he noted.
Ojo, the nickname of the Head of the Southeast Sulawesi KPU, remarked that during the General Elections in Southeast Sulawesi, both the election of District- and City-level Legislative Assembly (DPRDs), Provincial DPRDs, the Central Legislative Assembly (DPR ) RI, the Regional Representative Body (DPD), and the election of the president and vice president proceeded in a transparent, honest, fair, and democratic manner.
"Thus, the entire series of electoral processes in Southeast Sulawesi, so far, were implemented democratically, honestly, and fairly. If some parties are not satisfied by certain aspects linked to these results, I urge them to go through the existing legal channels," he noted.
Ojo further called on the people having issues over the implementation of the stages of the election to proceed through official channels, including the Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu).
The public can report any findings concerning violations of the code of ethics by the General Election organizers to the Election Organizers Honor Council (DKPP).
