JAKARTA - The Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK), Suhartoyo, said that he had banned four ministers of President Joko Widodo or Jokowi to hear his testimony as a witness in the General Election Result Dispute (PHPU) trial.

They include Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Muhadjir Effendy; Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani; and Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos) Tri Rismaharini.

"Based on the results of the meeting of His Excellency the judges this morning, the first thing that the Court needs to hear is Muhadjir Effendy Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, Airlangga Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Sri Mulyani Minister of Finance, Tri Rismaharini Minister of Social Affairs," Suhartoyo said in the trial, Monday, April 1.

Not only that, the Court also agreed to present the Honorary Council of Election Organizers (DKPP).

It's just that, emphasized, their summons does not mean that the Court accommodates the petitioners. However, it is only for the benefit of the trial.

"This is solely for the benefit of the judges. In simple language, we reject the petitioners' petition, but we take a separate stance because the positions of the judges choosing these parties are considered important to be heard at trial," he said.

The plan is that Jokowi's four ministers will be presented and their statements will be heard this weekend.

"Hopefully it can be heard on Friday, April 5, 2024," said Suhartoyo.
