"Ready (for the trial case). I'm the one who complains, I have to be ready," he added.
Taufik said that the decision of the KPU to take his name as bacaleg because of his status as a former convict of corruption is not fair and is contrary to the electoral law.

Taufik asked KPU not to decide anything arbitrarily. Because the KPU regulation falls under the law, it should also in the making of regulations, the KPU must refer to the applicable law.
"In our opinion, the KPU regulation is under the law." He should refer to the law, not only, I'm really arrogant, KPU, so, in my opinion, "he concluded.
