In addition, he continued, the Constitutional Court has prepared security personnel in the courtroom and around the Constitutional Court Building.

On a different occasion, Central Jakarta Police Chief Kombes Susatyo Condro Purnomo said the police would deploy 400 personnel for security around the Constitutional Court Building.

The 400 personnel are only for the Constitutional Court, namely in buildings, courtyards. The rest is security related to the delivery of aspirations. Of course, the troops will be different later," said Susatyo when met at the Constitutional Court Building.

The Central Jakarta Police together with Polda Metro Jaya, he continued, ensured that the 2024 General Election process at KPU, Bawaslu, DKPP, DPR, and MK could run safely and smoothly.
