REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- A political observer of Indonesian Public Institute Karyono Wibowo said the camp of Prabowo Subianto-Hatta Rajasa duo had not provided concrete evidence in the election result dispute (PHPU) at the Constitutional Court (MK).

"During the election dispute hearing, Subianto-Hatta camp could not provide strong evidence to prove accusations of structured, systematic, and massive violation during the 2014 presidential election," Karyono Wibowo said here on Tuesday.

Karyono noted that the applicant, Prabowo-Hatta camp, had more presented "testimonium de auditu," namely witnesses who gave testimony based on information received from another party. The witnesses had not directly seen, heard, or experienced the incidents.

"Prabowo-Hatta camp had disputed only against the number of additional special voters list and the opening of the ballot boxes by the General Elections Commission (KPU)," he pointed out.

He remarked that the lawsuit of Prabowo-Hatta camp was still weak. Moreover, it has also been clarified by the defendant, the KPU.

According to the schedule, the panel of judges will read the verdict of the PHPU on Thursday (Aug 21) at 14:00 pm local time.

"Also, the trial calls for MK to read the verdict without formally summoning the parties," MK Chief Justice Hamdan Zoelva said here on Monday.

During the hearing, the MK had approved and received written evidence from each party--the applicant (Prabowo-Hatta pair), the defendant (the KPU), and related parties (Jokowi-JK pair).

Hamdan emphasized that the MK had examined and verified the list and physical evidence presented by the parties.

"The MK had discovered thousands of pieces of evidence that existed," he added.
