JAKARTA - Presidential Candidate Anies Baswedan stated that he was ready to file a lawsuit on the results of the 2024 presidential election to the Constitutional Court (MK). The KPU previously named Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka as the winner of the vote.

Anies in his written statement, touched on the legitimacy of the process and results of the 2024 presidential election.

"Ladies and gentlemen, leaders born from processes tarnished by fraud and irregularities will produce a regime that produces policies that are full of injustice and we don't want this to happen," said Anies.

Anies emphasized that in the principles of modern democracies, non-normalities and deviations "refined" according to the rules, they apply.

"The steps we are taking are not getting angry and making initiatives to the public, but our step is to gather all the evidence to be brought to justice. We want this country to continue to build political maturity, not back and forth near the pre-reforming period," he explained.

Although he realizes that there are parties who are trying to degrade the constitutional business of the AMIN national team, these various irregularities according to Anies cannot be tolerated.

"We emphasize, we don't want to let these various democratic irregularities pass without a record and set a bad precedent for all future election organizers, both at the national level and hundreds of regional elections and the first and second stages of the legislative elections," he explained.

"We are aware, in the current situation, the possibility of getting justice feels very small. Various state institutions related to the implementation of elections and dispute resolution have been coordinated by individuals who are proven to have violated ethics, some even have their heads repeatedly received warnings but are still allowed to carry out their roles," he continued.
