JAKARTA - The Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team appreciates the Constitutional Court (MK) for rejecting the request for testing case number 141/PUU-XXI/2023 so that the Constitutional Court reinterprets Article 169 Letter q of the Election Law after the 90/PUU-XXI/2023 decision. This means that Gibran's candidacy in the 2024 presidential election has proven not to be flawed in law and ethics.

"The Constitutional Court has taken the right steps to firmly reject the petitioner's petition to re-examine the constitutionality of article 169 letter q of Law number 7 of 2017 which means the Constitutional Court's decision number 90 of 2023," said Chairman of the Strategic Coordinator of TKN Prabowo-Gibran, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad at the TKN Media Center on Jalan Sriwijaya I, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Thursday, November 30.

With this 141 decision, Dasco hopes that no more parties will declare Gibran's candidacy as a vice presidential candidate to be carried out in a way that is against the law and ethics.

"In fact, in this trial, eight constitutional judges without Mr. Anwar Usman who took part in the trial unanimously stated that the decision number 90 had no problem at all. Even in this decision there was absolutely no dissenting opinion and concurring opinion, so that Gibran's existence as a representation of young people, in election contestation is an important history for this country," Dasco explained.

"For the first time, the younger generation is represented as the subject of the election, and this is certainly very positive to increase the spirit of our youth," added the daily chairman of the Gerindra Party DPP.

The deputy chairman of the DPR reminded the election contestation participants to start prioritizing their respective ideas, vision and mission and programs to be equally assessed by the people. According to Dasco, do not pollute democracy with black propaganda and baseless accusations just because they are afraid to compete.

"So once again we emphasize that with there is a 141 decision, it also means stating that 90's decision has no problem, there are no legal defects, no ethical defects, no intervention, and it means that no judges have decided in 90 to express grief, in 141 they are not grieving. Because this decision was both decided without dissent, "said Dasco.

It is known that eight constitutional judges, minus judge Anwar Usman, have rejected the request for testing for case number 141/PUU-XXI/2023 Wednesday, November 29.

The Constitutional Court rejected the request on behalf of Brahma Aryana, a student of the Faculty of Law, Nahdlatul Ulama University Indonesia (Unusia), Jakarta, in its entirety. In his petition, Brahma Aryana asked the Constitutional Court to reinterpret Article 169 Letter q of the Election Law after the 90/PUU-XXI/2023 decision.

Through the Constitutional Court's decision number 90/PUU-XII/2023, the Constitutional Court has allowed someone who is not yet 40 years old to advance in the presidential election contestation with a note ever/in the position of being elected through the general election, including regional head elections.
