YOGYAKARTA The decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) regarding the dispute over General Election Results (PHPU) or the dispute over the 2024 presidential election proposed by Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD was marked by dissenting opinions or differences of opinion. Of the 8 Constitutional Court judges who tried the case, 3 of them expressed differences of opinion. Who are they? The following is a list of dissenting judges for the 2024 presidential election dispute decision.

1. Saldi Isra

The first Constitutional Court judge to declare a dissenting opinion was Saldi Isra. In the trial of reading the decision on the dispute over the results of the 2024 presidential election which was held on Monday, April 22, 2024, Saldi said that some Acting Regional Heads were not neutral so that the election took place dishonestly and fairly.

"I believe that there is a discrepancy between some regional heads, including regional officials, which causes elections not to take place honestly and fairly. All of this leads to the absence of elections with integrity," said Saldi Isra.

"Thus, the petitioner's argument reasoned according to the law," continued Saldi.

According to Saldi, the argument of the AMIN team (Anies-Muhaimin) regarding the politicization of social assistance and mobilization of apparats is legally reasonable. Therefore, the Constitutional Court should have ordered to re-vote.

"Considering that based on all the descriptions of the legal considerations above, the petitioner's argument regarding the politicization of social assistance and mobilization of apparat / state apparatus / state administrators is legally reasonable," said Saldi.

"Therefore, in order to maintain the integrity of honest and fair election administration, the Court should order re-voting in several areas," he said again.

2. Enny Nurbaningsih

Next is Enny Nurbaningsih. When reading the dissenting opinion, Enny conveyed that the president's provision of social assistance ahead of the election had an impact on the participants due to inequality.

"Providing social assistance ahead of the election and during the campaign period, within reasonable limits of reasoning, this certainly has an impact on election participants due to inequality," said Enny.

Next, Enny said the application submitted by the AMIN team and the Ganjar-Mahfud team had legal reasons for part.

In Enny's view, there are officials who are partially surrounded by the provision of social assistance that occurs in several areas.

"Because it is believed that there has been an neutrality of officials, some of which are related to the provision of social assistance that occurred in several areas that have been considered above," said Enny.

"So to ensure the holding of honest and fair elections as guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution, the Court should order a re-vote for some of the areas above," Enny added.

3. Arief Hidayat

The next list of dissenting judges for the presidential election dispute is Arief Hidayat. In reading the dissenting opinion, Arief argued that the Constitutional Court should partially grant the lawsuit filed by the AMIN team and the Ganjar-Mahfud team.

According to Aried, re-elections should be carried out in several areas, namely DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, East Java, Bali, and North Sumatra.

"Declare the Decree of the General Election Commission Number 360 of 2024 concerning the Determination of the General Election Results of the President and Vice President, Members of the DPR, DPD, Provincial DPRD and Regency/City DPRD nationally in the 2024 General Election dated March 20, 2024 which was announced on Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at 22:19 WIB throughout the electoral districts of DKI, West Java, Central Java, East Java, Bali, and North Sumatra," said Arief.

The Constitutional Court decided to completely reject the 2024 presidential election dispute lawsuit filed by Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD.

"Rejected the application in its entirety," said Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Suhartoyo during a trial at the Constitutional Court Building, Central Jakarta, Monday, April 22, 2024, quoted by VOI.

The Constitutional Court reasoned that the arguments submitted by the applicant had no legal basis.

"The petitioner's application has no legal basis," said Suhartoyo.

The decision was marked by dissenting opinions from 3 judges at the Constitutional Court, namely Saldi Isra, Enny Nurbaningsih, and Arief Hidayat. However, the dissenting opinion does not affect the Constitutional Court's final and binding decision.
