TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Expert from Kubu Prabowo-GibranAminuddin Ilmar, revealed the impact if the Constitutional Court or MK granted the petition for dispute over the results of the Presidential Election Anies-Muhaimin and Ganjar-Mahfud.
Amirudin said that the Constitutional Court should consider deciding disputes over the results of the Presidential Election according to its authority. He also cited Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections which states that the Constitutional Court handles disputes over results, while administrative violations are handled by Bawaslu and process disputes are handled by the KPU.
As is known, the arguments of the Anies-Muhaimin and Ganjar-Mahfud camps are regarding fraud in the election process. Meanwhile, from the first day of the trial until now, the Prabowo-Gibran Defense Team has maintained that the Constitutional Court only handles disputes over election results in the form of numbers, not the narratives argued by candidate pairs 01 and 03.
“In other words, don’t let the Court judge things other than those related to disputes over election results,” said Amirudin in a hearing at the Constitutional Court Building, Jakarta on Thursday, April 4 2024
If the Panel of Judges hold opinions and opinions outside their authority, he said, it will certainly have an impact on the constitutional situation and conditions. This professor at the Faculty of Law, Hasanuddin University, believes that this constitutional condition has never happened before.
“The process of changing or rotating national leadership will certainly not be realized. As a legal consequence, there will be a vacancy in the positions of President and Vice President which will end in October 2024,” said Aminuddin.
