Will Sue Election Results At The Constitutional Court, Ganjar: Tomorrow Or Saturday We Will Register Soon

JAKARTA - Presidential Candidate number three, Ganjar Pranowo said that his party respects the 2024 presidential election process. However, a lawsuit to the Constitutional Court (MK) will be made to straighten democracy.

"The Ganjar-Mahfud team has agreed that if all of this must be straightened out so that democracy can run well, then the last fort is the Constitutional Court," said Ganjar at the GAMA Command Post, Jalan Teuku Umar, Central Jakarta, Thursday, February 21.

"And we have prepared a legal team for us to immediately register whether tomorrow or Saturday for us to immediately convey everything we have, which we have prepared to become a constitutional judge's consideration later," he continued.

Ganjar said this lawsuit was filed because there was a lot of information from the public over the past month about the election process. "Many notes have indeed been submitted to us, of course we and the legal team must verify one by one," said the former Governor of Central Java.

One of the information that comes in is related to money politics and intimidation. And I think this is a very good momentum for the panel of judges who will be in the Constitutional Court to show their credibility," he said.
