he Surabaya StateAdministrative Court (PTUN) has dropped on Friday Khofifah Indarparawangsa's lawsuitagainst the East Java General Elections Commission (KPUD) over the KPUDone-sided cancelation of her candidacy at the upcoming East Java gubernatorialelections.
The lawsuit withdrawal was solely motivated by the KPUD latest decision to annul its ruling which disqualified Khofifah and her running mate Herman Surjadi Sumawiredja from the East Java gubernatorial election.
Presiding judge Tri Cahya Indra Permana said the PTUN had issued Decree No. 127/2013 which approved Khofifah-Herman's legal team request to drop the lawsuit.
'The KPUD [as the defendant] has revoked its ruling as instructed by The General Election Organizers Ethics Council (DKPP) on Wednesday. So the lawsuit is no longer a relevant subject," KPUD's lawyer Darwati said as quoted by kompas.com on Friday.
