MK: Arsul Sani Still Joins In Handling The Election Results Lawsuit Session

JAKARTA - Deputy Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK) Saldi Isra said Constitutional Justice Arsul Sani was still following the process of handling the 2024 Presidential Election Result Dispute (PHPU) case as long as no one expressed objection.

"We will see if there are any of the parties who will object to Pak Arsul's whereabouts. If there is, we will discuss it later," said Saldi when met at the Constitutional Court building, Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, March 25.

The Constitutional Court is still paying attention to developments that will occur in the future related to this decision.

"Yes, we'll see the progress after this. There are still a few days," he said.

As for so far, Arsul Sani is still following the process of handling the case because no party has filed an objection.

Meanwhile, regarding Arsul Sani's involvement in handling the PHPU for the Legislative Election, a member of the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court (MKMK) Prof. Yuliandri on Friday (8/3) said he was committed not to be involved in the dispute over the legislative election related to the United Development Party (PPP).

It is known that Arsul Sani is a former PPP politician. He submitted his resignation from his position and membership in the party bearing the Kaaba symbol in December 2023 because he was elected as a constitutional judge in 2024 at the DPR's suggestion.

The Constitutional Justice and Spokesperson for the Constitutional Court Enny Nurbaningsih also conveyed the same thing on Friday (18/1). He ensured that Arsul would not handle the PHPU Pilleg case related to PPP.

Enny emphasized that if a potential conflict of interest is found between the constitutional judge and the incoming PHPU case, the judge concerned will be transferred to a panel of other cases.

According to Enny, the Constitutional Court has prepared the composition of judges who carefully try the PHPU case. The Constitutional Court learned from the problems that occurred when hearing Case Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 regarding the age requirements for presidential and vice presidential candidates.

"So, we have prepared it very carefully and we also learn from what became the problem yesterday," he said.
