JAKARTA - The Ganjar-Mahfud camp supports the Anies-Muhaimin or Cak Imin legal team's request that the Constitutional Court (MK) judges present four cabinet ministers Joko Widodo or Jokowi as in the General Election Result Dispute (PHPU) trial.

However, if it is considered too many or other things, it is hoped that two ministers will be presented.

"We also want to submit the same application. But because it has been submitted by applicant 1, we support what is conveyed by applicant 1, as well as the proposal of applicant 1 for the Minister of Social Affairs. At least these two ministries that we consider very important, very vital, we ask the panel of judges to grant it," said Ganjar-Mahfud's Legal Team, Todung Mulya Lubis in a trial at the Constitutional Court, Thursday, March 28.

The two ministers in question are Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani and Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini.

A member of the Ganjar-Mahfid Legal Team, Maqdir Ismail, said that the two ministers would be questioned about government policies under Jokowi's leadership during the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) contestation period. In particular, regarding the use and procurement of social assistance or social assistance.

"What we convey our requests to present witnesses or experts from the ministry is a process of proof, especially related to policies that have been taken by the government. Because also the use of social assistance from the APBN and APBN belongs to all of us, not to certain people," said Maqdir.

"Because this can be held accountable or in demand for information on other matters, we are given the opportunity to ask them to be presented so that they can explain what is the basis and consideration for the use of social assistance up to 495 T," he continued.

Previously, the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin camp asked the Constitutional Court (MK) judges to present four cabinet ministers Joko Widodo or Jokowi as witnesses to the General Election Result Dispute (PHPU) trial.

The ministers include Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani, Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini, Minister of Trade Zulkifli Hasan, and Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto.

Responding to the request, Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Suhartoyo said he would first discuss it with other Constitutional Court judges. Especially about the urgency of the statements or testimonies of the ministers being published. "Yes, we will discuss that later, four ministers, right?" asked Suhartoyo.

"Four Your Majesty ministers, that's right," said Amir.
