JAKARTA - Constitutional Justice and Spokesperson for the Constitutional Court (MK) Enny Nurbaningsih said Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Anwar Usman would still examine, try and decide the 2024 election dispute case.
Anwar will also be involved in the 2024 presidential election case, although if the respondent is a vice presidential candidate (cawapres) Gibran Rakabuming Raka is his nephew.
"Regarding the decree that signed, yes, still the chairman (MK, ed), must be the chairman," said Enny after the trial of the Constitutional Court's decision regarding the maximum limit of the 70-year-old presidential and vice-presidential candidates at the Constitutional Court Building, Central Jakarta, Monday, October 23.
Enny emphasized that the constitutional judge consisting of nine people was authorized to try disputes about elections.
Although, he continued, constitutional judges including Anwar Usman, Enny Nurbaningsih and Saldi Isra were reported to the Constitutional Court's Honorary Court (MKMK) regarding alleged ethical violations.
"Even though I, Prof. Saldi, was reported, and even the chief judge was reported. There were reports related to 9 judges, but normatively, the chairman was still the one who signed. Except for the head who was unable to win, so he proposed to his deputy to represent the interests of this Constitutional Court institution. So he still signed the decree," said Enny.
