Mahfud said he had given power of attorney to his attorney. Therefore, he will focus on seeing the proceedings of the trial.

Previously, the Deputy for Law for the National Winning Team (TPN) Ganjar-Mahfud, Todung Mulya Lubis, revealed that his party proposed the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, to provide information at the 2024 presidential election PHPU case trial.
