JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said that the most important thing about the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) on the dispute over the 2024 Presidential Election Results (PHPU) was accusations against the government that were not legally proven.

"The Constitutional Court's decision which also states that accusations against the government, such as fraud, intervention by the authorities, then politicization of social assistance, then mobilization of the apparatus, inequality of regional heads, have been declared unproven. This is important for the government," said President Jokowi on the sidelines of the inauguration of the reconstruction of the post-earthquake construction in Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi, Tuesday, April 23.

President Jokowi said that the government respects the Constitutional Court's final and binding decision on various legal considerations in the case.

After the Constitutional Court's decision, the Head of State called for the Indonesian nation to unite again to face the global geopolitical challenges that are currently hitting.

"Because the external geopolitical factor really suppresses all countries, it's time to unite, work, build our country," he said.

"In addition, the government will soon prepare and fully support the transitional government process to the elected president and vice president," the President added.

"The government also supports the transition process from the current government to the next new government. We will prepare it because now the Constitutional Court has done it, it's just a matter of determining it by the KPU tomorrow," he added.

On Monday (22/4), the Constitutional Court held a hearing to read the PHPU decision for the 2024 presidential election. The judge stated that he rejected all requests from the Anies Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar pairs, and rejected all requests from the Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud Md pair.
