JAKARTA - Former Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights Denny Indrayana has again spread rumors regarding the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK).

This time Denny predicts that the constitutional panel of judges will grant the dispute over the General Election Results (PHPU) aka the 2024 presidential election dispute proposed by the applicant, namely candidate pair number 01 presidential-vice presidential candidate Anis Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar and serial number 03 Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD.

"My prediction is that there is a potential application for candidate pair 01 and 03 granted by the Constitutional Court," Denny said in his X account, Wednesday, March 27.

Denny, who is also a candidate for legislative member of the Democratic Party, failed to qualify for the DPR in the 2024 General Election, said this prediction was based on the composition of the eight constitutional panel of judges, the leader of the 2024 presidential election dispute trial.

"The prediction is based not only on arguments in the application posita and evidence submitted by the Paslon 01 and 03 Legal Teams, but furthermore after observing the composition of the Constitutional Court Panel of Judges which tried the 2024 presidential election dispute," he said.

Denny then explained his calculations regarding the potential for the 2024 presidential election dispute trial to be won by candidate pair number 01 and 03. According to him, only four constitutional judges have agreed to smooth out the applicant's lawsuit.

"With a panel of only 8 (eight) people, without Constitutional Justice Anwar Usman, a minimum of 4 (four) judges are needed, with the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Suhartoyo in a position to grant it, the decision to disqualify Paslon 02, is possible," he said.

"Does that prediction come true? We will see when the verdict is read out in the next few days," continued Denny.

This is not the only time Denny predicts the results of the Constitutional Court's pususal. In mid-2023, Denny had spread information that the Constitutional Court would decide to turn the 2024 election system closed or vote on political parties.

The rumors led to Denny's reporting to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police with accusations of spreading hoaxes or fake news. Not only that, Denny was also reported to the Advocate Congress by the Constitutional Court on suspicion of violating ethics.
