JAKARTA - The Constitutional Court (MK) read out the decision on the 2024 presidential election case today. Anies Baswedan views that the case of alleged fraud in the 2024 General Election, which is now almost at the end of its settlement, is a crossroads.

This was conveyed by Anies at the AMIN National Team Winning Headquarters, Jalan Diponegoro, Jakarta PUSat, before leaving for the Constitutional Court building to attend the verdict hearing.

"Once again, we convey as we reveal in front of the panel of judges, that we are at a crossroads," said Anies, Monday, April 22.

Anies believes that there is a fraudulent practice of holding a structured, systematic, and massive election that won Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka. According to him, this cannot be tolerated.

"If it is allowed to become a habit and later the presidential election will not reflect the aspirations of the people, but reflect the aspirations of the authorities," said Anies.

Therefore, Anies entrusted his trust to the panel of judges at the Constitutional Court to issue a decision as well as possible.

"We believe that the panel of judges will be given the courage to decide, so that they will be given the best for Indonesia in the future," he said.

The Constitutional Court panel of judges began reading the decision of the 2024 presidential election dispute trial at a trial that was held since 09.00 WIB.

Even though on one trial agenda, the verdict was read out separately according to the case registration number, namely the presidential and vice-presidential candidate pair number 1 Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar, then presidential and vice-presidential candidates number 3 Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD.

In the petitum of his petition, both Anies-Muhaimin and Ganjar-Mahfud asked the Constitutional Court to cancel the results of the 2024 presidential election and ordered the KPU to re-vote without including Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

Then, Anies-Muhaimin has an alternative petition petitum, namely to disqualify Gibran as a vice presidential candidate during the re-voting, so Prabowo must look for another vice presidential candidate.
