And the Presidential Election Law Article 112 provides: " The vote Presidential election held later than three months after the announcement of election results for DPR, DPD, provincial and regency / city .

Yusril has been decided as the Crescent Star Party Politics Presidential Candidate in the 2014 presidential election was harmed or potentially harmed their constitutional rights with the enactment of these articles .

Yusril assessing the Presidential Election Law Article 9 violated Article 6A paragraph ( 2 ) and Section 22E of paragraph ( 3 ) of the 1945 Constitution , because manipulating the word " election " .

" If the number of seats each party participant elections are known , then the political party is not a political party participants in the election , also said before the general election because the election in question is that participants DPR and DPRD political parties referred to in Article 6A paragraph ( 2 ) and Section 22E of paragraph ( 3 ) of the 1945 Constitution , "the petition Yusril .

While the norm of Article 14 of the Presidential Election Law Article 6A contrary to paragraph ( 2 ) of the 1945 Constitution , as if that meant the establishment of a national register after the results of the election of members of Parliament, then at that time the political party or coalition of political parties is no longer a participant elections .

According to Yusril , the 1945 Constitution does not specifically regulate the order of election , but if you read Article 22E Paragraph ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) show that the 1945 elections are held one time meant ( at once ) , so that Article 3 paragraph ( 4 ) , Article 9 , Article 14 paragraph ( 2 ) and Article 112 contrary to the norms of Article 4 paragraph ( 1 ) of the 1945 Constitution and Article 7C .

Yusril also assess matters set forth in Article 3 paragraph ( 4 ) , Article 9 , Article 14 paragraph ( 2 ) and Article 112 of the Presidential Election Law was not in earnest to implement or enforce constitutional norms , but rather to prevent the emergence of Presidential candidates and Vice President of the strength of the other party .

That concerns candidates for President and Vice President will be too much so it should be limited to the presidential threshold becomes lost its relevance since the 2014 election only 12 followed by a National Political Party and 3rd Party Local Aceh .

If the 2014 election will be followed by 12 Put Candidates by the applicant still within reasonable limits , said Yusril ..
