According to Muhadjir, there was no special preparation in the face of the Constitutional Court's invitation.

"There is no preparation, I want to ask everything we have done so far," he said.

Muhadjir also said that he had asked the President for permission to fulfill the Constitutional Court's invitation, and had obtained permission.

"Yes, the minister is an assistant to the President," he said.

In fact, he had to cancel his trip to Egypt to deliver humanitarian aid from Indonesia to Egypt and Sudan which were released by the President this morning.

"God willing, I will attend. I should have gone to Egypt to deliver the aid that was released by the President. However, because there was a call from the Constitutional Court, I decided to fulfill the call," he said.

Previously, the Constitutional Court scheduled the summons of four ministers of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet to attend as parties who needed to be heard at the 2024 PHPUPilpres follow-up hearing, Friday (5/4).
