JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team, Habiburokhman, responded to the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) which rejected the request for testing on case number 141/PUU-XXI/2023 for the Constitutional Court to reinterpret Article 169 Letter q of the Election Law after the 90/PUU-XXI/2023 decision.

Based on this decision, according to Habiburokhman, former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Anwar Usman became a victim of a scapegoat for the trial of the Constitutional Court's Honorary Council (MKMK) decision for allegedly committing an ethical violation of the Constitutional Court's decision 90.

"I repeatedly emphasize that in the Constitutional Court's decision there is absolutely no discussion and of course there is no evidence of intervention. This is then said to be an excuse to impose severe penalties for violations against Anwar Usman's brother," Habiburokhman said at a press conference at the TKN Prabowo-Gibran Media Center on Sriwijaya I Street, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Thursday, November 30.

Habiburokhman explained that in the Constitutional Court's decision, there was no evidence of intervention against nine Constitutional Court judges regarding the decision 90. So that severe sanctions in the form of dismissal handed down to Usman because it is said to open an intervention room should be a question.

"This is what we say is chaos, yes, enforcement of ethics carried out by the MKMK itself. I am strengthening again with the Constitutional Court's decision number 141 yesterday, if you are careful with the article, what is called page 43, the court is of the opinion that the petitioner's argument is related to the decision of the Constitutional Court number 90 which contains intervention from outside, conflicts of interest, becomes a legally flawed decision that creates legal uncertainty and invites violations of legal state principles, it cannot be justified. This is what is talking about 8 judges of the Constitutional Court. The eight judges of the Constitutional Court said that the argument said yes, the petitioner's argument that said there had been intervention in case 90, cannot be justified in this decision, "explained Habiburokhman.

"So that it is clearer and clearer, actually Mr. Anwar Usman is a victim of a scapegoat. The person who is deliberately looking for his mistake is just to make legitimacy, yes, to the Constitutional Court's decision," added the deputy chairman of Commission III of the DPR.

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.
