JAKARTA - Chairman of the Constitutional Court (MK) Suhartoyo said that his party already has formulas in examining and adjudicating disputes over the results of general elections (PHPU) without Constitutional Justice Anwar Usman so as not to interfere with the performance of the assembly. "We already have formulas to anticipate that. Hopefully it won't interfere," Suhartoyo said when met at the Indonesian Constitutional Court Building, Jakarta, Antara, Wednesday, January 10. Suhartoyo said that it was certain that Anwar Usman would not be allowed to try the PHPU for the 2024 Presidential and Vice Presidential Elections (Pilpres), as stated in the decision of the Constitutional Court Honorary Council (MKMK). Meanwhile, for the PHPU, there is still potential for legislative elections (pileg). "PHPU who have the presidential election, cannot participate in the trial. If it is a legislative election, that seems like a potential one," he said. Regarding the legislative PHPU, the Constitutional Court will still consider the parameters whether or not Anwar Usman could be involved. This must be determined together with other constitutional judges through a panel of judges (RPH). "We will have a meeting of the judges later on the parameters. Maybe we can't convey it now," said the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court. Previously, Tuesday (7-11-2023), MKMK imposed a sanction of dismissal from the position of Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court to Anwar Usman for being proven to have committed a serious violation of the code of ethics and behavior of constitutional judges in prosecuting Case Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023. Anwar Usman is also not allowed to be involved or involved in examination and decision-making in disputes over the results of the presidential election, elections for members of the DPR RI, and elections for DPRD members as well as the election for governors, regents, and mayors who have the potential for conflict of interest.

He was found guilty of violating Saptakarsa Hutama, namely the principle of impartiality, principle of integrity, principle of competence and equality, principle of independence, and principle of appropriateness and decency.
