Ganjar Nilai Amicus Curiae Megawati Mendorong Putusan Sengketa Pilpres Adil

JAKARTA - Presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo assesses that the application for amicus to steal or a court friend by the Fifth President of the Republic of Indonesia Megawati Soekarnoputri will encourage the Constitutional Court to decide that the dispute over the 2024 General Election Results (PHPU) is fairer.

He believes that amicus theft can encourage the Constitutional Court to decide the case requested as well as possible. However, according to him, Megawati is not the only one who pays more attention to the Constitutional Court.

"I think this is an extraordinary momentum for the Constitutional Court not to make April Mop, but to commemorate what a Kartini had done, after the dark it was clear," said Ganjar in Jakarta, Tuesday.

"From the condition of the Constitutional Court which has been an insult, a curse, yes, the stamps that are not good with the Constitutional Court's decision, it feels like this is the momentum to restore the dignity of the Constitutional Court," he continued.

In addition, Ganjar and Megawati understand that amicus theft will not affect the decision that will be under the authority of the Constitutional Court. He said Megawati's writing could encourage a decision to be taken fairly.

Based on the results of the vote count by the General Election Commission (KPU), pair number 02 Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming was the elected pair in the 2024 presidential election. Then, in second place followed by pair 01 Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar as many as 40,971,906 votes. Then, the number of valid votes for pair 03 Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud Md was 27,040,878 votes.

Previously, Tuesday (16/4), Megawati Soekarnoputri submitted a letter from Amicus Curiae or Friends of the Court to the Constitutional Court (MK) represented by the Secretary-General of the PDI-P Hasto Kristiyanto and the Chairman of the PDI-P DPP Djarot Syaiful Hidayat.

The Amicus Curiae letter for the dispute over the General Election Results (PHPU) of the Presidential Election was handed over at Building II of the Constitutional Court, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, to the judiciary which was represented by and the Head of the AACC Secretariat for Foreign Cooperation, Immanuel Hutasoit.

"My arrival was to submit the opinion of the Friends of the Court from an Indonesian citizen (WNI), namely Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri, so that Mrs. Mega in her capacity as an Indonesian citizen volunteered as Amicus Curiae or Friends of the Court," said Hasto.

Then, he showed and read Megawati's handwritten on the back page of the letter containing several considerations to the Panel of Judges of the Constitutional Court.

"My beloved Indonesian people, let us pray that the Constitutional Court's hammer is not a hammer, but a golden hammer. As Ibu Kartini said in 1911: After the dark comes light, so that the dawn of democracy that we have fought for from the past, reappears and will be remembered continuously by the generations of Indonesians," said Hasto reading Megawati's writing.

Under the writing was also signed by Megawati Soekarnoputri and it was also written that there were three calls for independence.
