JAKARTA - A member of Anies-Muhaimin's legal team, Zainudin Paru, responded to the issue of the presence of ASN sent by the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) to witness Prabowo-Gibran at the 2024 presidential election dispute trial.

Zainudin assessed that the involvement of ASN as a candidate pair witness proved that the Ministry of Home Affairs was not neutral in holding the 2024 General Election.

"Faktanya pejabat Kemendagri yang hadir pada saksi pihak terkait adalah pejabat dalam negeri, ASN yang datang surat tugas atas persetujuan Sekjen Kemendagri. Ini membukti bahwa nyata ASN kementerian dalam negeri berpihak pada 02," kata Zainudin di gedung MK, Kamis, 4 April.
