JAKARTA - Vice Presidential Candidate number 3, Mahfud MD said the lawsuit filed by the pair camp number three to the Constitutional Court (MK) was not just looking for victory. They aim to maintain Indonesia's democracy in the future.

"What we are doing to the Constitutional Court is not looking for victory but beyond election, the future," Mahfud said at a press conference at the GAMA Command Post, Teuku Umar, Central Jakarta, Thursday, March 21.

Mahfud said that democracy in the future must be healthy. "There should be no destruction of democracy and the law because if democracy and law are damaged, it will happen again in the future," said the former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK).

"If you want to election, (later, red) you are close to power and have money. That's all. Then ordinary people, great ones, can't appear to take part in managing the country," continued Mahfud.

In addition, Mahfud also mentioned the assumption that the 2024 General Election would be the most brutal because of the participation of officials and officials in its implementation. Thus, he hopes that the Constitutional Court can decide fairly.

"It must be revealed in a legal theater, the first is the Constitutional Court which will reveal and for the future it is not for us. If we ourselves have integrity, yes, we have made an integrity pact," he said.

"We will accept whatever the results are. If there is dissatisfaction with a process, there is a legal mechanism that we use until the end," concluded the former Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam).
