TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Spokesperson for the Constitutional Court (MK) Enny Nurbaningsih confirmed that there would be no summons of other witnesses to provide information in the 2024 Presidential Election Results Dispute (PHPU) trial. The Constitutional Court considered that the testimony of four of President Joko Widodo’s cabinet ministers was sufficient to provide information.
Previously, a number of civil society groups urged the Constitutional Court to also summon President Joko Widodo for questioning. “It’s finished. “It’s considered sufficient because it’s a speedy trial (quick proof), yes, it’s impossible for us to invite so many parties like that, unless the PUU (Legislation Test) trial is different,” said Enny, after the PHPU hearing at the Constitutional Court Building, Central Jakarta, on Friday, April 5, 2024.
Enny stated that the Constitutional Court had closed the PHPU trial. Therefore, yesterday’s summons of the four ministers of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet and the Honorary Council for Election Organizers (DKPP) was the final session.
“The trial is the final evidentiary examination. “Just waiting, coincidentally this time an opportunity has been opened to convey conclusions,” he added.
The next agenda is that the Constitutional Court will wait for the submission of conclusions from the parties concerned, no later than Tuesday, April 16 at 16.00 WIB.
Today, Saturday 6 April 2024, the Constitutional Court has started a judge’s deliberation meeting (RPH) to determine the decision on the entire PHPU case trial process. In the trial, all constitutional judges expressed their views regarding the entire PHPU series.
The Constitutional Court also opens opportunities for parties who wish to convey their conclusions during the RPH.

Until now, the Constitutional Court has not set a date for the PHPU trial decision. Previously, Enny confirmed that the date was still tentative, meaning it could be sooner or later than the previously targeted date, namely April 22 2024.
“Yes, looking at the latest situation,” said Enny.
At the PHPU session on April 5 2024, the presence of four of President Jokowi’s cabinet ministers was on the main agenda as witnesses regarding allegations of politicization of social assistance in the 2024 presidential election dispute. The ministers present were Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani, Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Muhadjir Effendy, Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto, and Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini .
The alleged politicization of social assistance is one of the main points in the presidential election dispute lawsuit filed by the pair Anies-Muhaimin and Ganjar-Mahfud to the Constitutional Court (MK). The lawsuit is number 1/PHPU.PRES-XXII/2024 which was filed by camp 01 Anies-Muhaimin, and number 2/PHPU.PRES-XXII/2024 which was filed by camp 03, Ganjar-Mahfud.
