JAKARTA - The Ganjar-Mahfud Legal Team asked the Constitutional Court (MK) Judge to present the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo to hear his statement at the General Election Results Presence (PHPU) trial. A letter of application has also been sent.

"Look, we have sent a letter to the Constitutional Court, that in addition to the 4 ministers who will be presented plus DKPP, we will also ask the Chairman of the Assembly to present the Chief of Police at the next trial. We have written a letter for that," said the Head of the Ganjar-Mahfud Legal Team, Todung Mulya Lubis, to reporters, Tuesday, April 2.

According to Tudong, if the National Police Chief can be presented at the trial, what will be explored from the police general is about allegations of intimidation to the neutrality of police officers in the 2024 Umun Election (Pemilu).

"Why the police chief? Because later it will be shown that there are quite a lot of things related to the police, the police who carry out intimidation, criminalization, who are involved with neutrality in the campaign," he said.

In addition, Tudong also said that when presented, the Ganjar-Mahfud camp wanted the National Police Chief to explain policies and orders related to elections.
