p>Jakarta – A General Elections Commission (KPU) member said that the upcoming gubernatorial election in Aceh had been prepared under the existing regulations.

"We will proceed with the electoral registration phases. There is no legal basis to suspend it," KPU member Endang Sulastri said on Wednesday in an electoral dispute trial at the Constitutional Court.

Two independent candidates have filed charges against the commission, asking it to suspend the election due to the short registration period and strict requirements. The election is scheduled to begin in December.

Endang said that all electoral stakeholders had agreed to let the KPU to continue its electoral phases after many deadlocked discussions that were mediated by the Home Ministry.

"Even though some might still have objections, the KPU and its local branch in Aceh have coordinated with all the stakeholders and opened discussions on the consideration to suspend the election," she added.
