JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party respects the steps taken by the General Chairperson of the PDIP, Megawati Soekarnoputri, who filed an amicus crime in the 2024 presidential election dispute. However, Gerindra believes that Megawati's amicus theft will be ruled out by a judge of the Constitutional Court (MK) because it does not meet the formal and material requirements.

"I respect Mrs. Megawati as a national figure. However, we are sure that the Constitutional Court will rule out the amicus theft proposed by Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri because she does not meet the formal and material requirements," said Gerindra Party Deputy Head Habiburokhman to reporters, Wednesday, April 17. Habiburokhman explained that those who volunteered as amicus STOre should not have legal interests or legal relations with litigants. Therefore, he considered, Megawati did not meet the requirements as an amicus stealee. This is because Megawati is the PDIP chairman who carries Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD as the applicant for the 2024 presidential election dispute at the Constitutional Court.

"Mrs. Megawati is not just having an interest or a connection with candidate pair 03 who is the Petitioner 2 in the 2024 presidential election PHPU. Mrs. Megawati is even part of the Paslon 03 entity because she is the General Chair of the PDI-P as the party that carries the candidate pair 03," he explained.

The Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR also believes that the Constitutional Court will decide the presidential election dispute case wisely and professionally. He is optimistic that the Constitutional Court will reject applications from the 01 and 03 camps.

"We believe that the constitutional judge will prioritize the attitude of statesmanship by deciding cases based on trial facts and the public's sense of justice, namely rejecting the petitioners' petition," said Habiburokhman.
