Jakarta –
The National Winning Team (TPN) Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud Md welcomed the appointment Suhartoyo becomes the new Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK) replacing Anwar Usman. TPN assesses that Suhartoyo has a good track record as a judge.
“We, TPN, respect and appreciate the appointment of Mr. Suhartoyo as the new Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court. I briefly read Mr. Suhartoyo’s history as a career judge since the mid-1980s,” said TPN Legal Director Ronny Talapessy when contacted, Thursday (9/11/2023).
Ronny also touched on Suhartoyo’s attitude when delivering his speech dissenting oppinion in deciding case No. 90 concerning the age limit for presidential and vice presidential candidates. This case is known to have attracted public attention.

“In his opinion, he firmly stated that he rejected the application because the applicant does not have legal standing because he has no direct interest in becoming a presidential or vice presidential candidate. So, Mr. Suhartoyo’s opinion is very firm from a legal aspect, so his firmness is also what we hope for “so that we can maintain and make the Constitutional Court truly independent and free from intervention. We can also restore the authority of the Constitutional Court,” he said.
TPN Ganjar-Mahfud is confident that Suhartoyo’s leadership will restore public trust in the Constitutional Court. He hopes that Suhartoyo can maintain his independence while serving as Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court.
“With the election of Pak Suhartoyo, we hope that under his leadership, the Constitutional Court can restore public trust in it as an institution that protects the constitution. It can also maintain its independence and be free from intervention from any party,” said Ronny.
“We will continue to support the Constitutional Court in its best work even though it has just been hit by the ‘Uncle-Nephew’ legal scandal,” he continued.
Constitutional judge Suhartoyo was agreed to become Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK). Suhartoyo replaced Anwar Usman.
“What was agreed upon from our results was that the next Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court would be Mr. Suhartoyo,” said Saldi Isra at a press conference at the Constitutional Court Building, Jl Medan Merdeka Barat, Central Jakarta.
“And I will continue to carry out my duties as Deputy Chair,” he added.
This decision was taken at a judge’s deliberation meeting (RPH) which was held behind closed doors. The RPH was led by Deputy Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, Saldi Isra.
The election of the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court is a follow-up to the decision of the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court (MKMK) last Tuesday (7/11). MKMK previously dismissed Anwar Usman from his position as Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court because he was proven to have committed serious ethical violations.
