JAKARTA - PBNU General Chair (Ketum) Yahya Cholil Staquf assessed that the attitude of the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia Megawati Soekarnoputri to apply as an amicus theft or a court friend is the right of citizens and there is no need to question.

"I think that, amicus curiae, we should not question the rights of citizens. That is the right," Yahya said at the PBNU Jakarta Building, Thursday, April 18, which was confiscated by Antara.

Yahya also hopes that the panel of judges at the 2024 General Election Result Dispute (PHPU) session at the Constitutional Court (MK) will produce decisions based on absolute considerations or can be accepted by all parties. "We hope that the decision of the Constitutional Court as a court stipulation, is based on considerations that are more or more absolute or acceptable to all parties. There is no consideration of nisbi," he said. Yahya said, a decision in the nature of nisbi would actually lead to a long and continuous debate. The Constitutional Court's decision must reduce all disputes. Therefore, he encouraged that decisions that would later be taken to be accepted by all parties. Moreover, the community, he said, was tired of the controversy that emerged. "People are already longing to work as usual, they are not fussy anymore. I see that the public in general has hope that there is no more controversy over the election - there will be no controversy to continue. It can return to normal, work again," said Yahya.

Previously, Megawati Soekarnoputri submitted Amicus Curiae's letter to the Constitutional Court represented by the Secretary General (Sekjen) of the PDI-P Hasto Kristiyanto and the Chairperson of the PDI-P DPP Djarot Syaiful Hidayat. The amicus stealee letter for the 2024 presidential election PHPU case was handed over at Building II MK, Central Jakarta, Tuesday 16 April.
