Anwar Usman/DOK ANTARA

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN), Habiburokhman, spoke about the removal of Anwar Usman from the position of Chairman of the Constitutional Court (MK). He called Anwar Usman a victim of a scapegoat in the aftermath of the Constitutional Court's decision 90/PUU-XXI/2023.

According to Habiburokhman, a number of parties deliberately sought Anwar's mistake, who at that time decided the Constitutional Court's decision Number 90 regarding the conditions for nominating the president and vice president.

"Through the Constitutional Court's decision Number 141, it is clearer and clearer, actually Mr. Anwar Usman is a victim of a scapegoat for people who are deliberately looking for their fault because they are to legitimize the Constitutional Court's decision," Habiburokhman said at a press conference at the Media Center TKN Prabowo-Gibran, Jalan Sriwijaya I, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Thursday, November 30.

The Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR said that a constitutional judge who rejected a similar case in the Constitutional Court's Decision Number 141 proved that there was no Anwar intervention in the 90 decision.

Habiburokhman also considered that the sanctions for serious violations imposed on Anwar and had to be removed as Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court were not appropriate.

"Where this decision was then brought and related to us, the Prabowo-Gibran pair, is said to be colored by legal defects, colored with ethical defects and so on," said Habiburokhman.

The Deputy Chairperson of Gerindra also emphasized that in case Number 141, eight MKs stated that there were no problems in case Number 90. Therefore, Habiburokhman asked certain parties to stop practicing black framing politics.

"There is absolutely no dissenting and concurring opinion. So unanimous decision that case Number 90 is not a problem. So, we should no longer practice slander politics, black framing politics, we put forward the contestation of ideas, we contest the vision of missions, programs, track records," said Habiburokhman.
