JAKARTA - The Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court (MKMK) read out the verdict regarding the alleged violation of the ethics of the Constitutional Court judge. The reported judge, Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Anwar Usman, was proven to have committed a serious violation and he was dismissed from his position.
The decision number 2/MKMK/L/11/2023 was read out in a trial held at the Constitutional Court Building, Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, on November 7, 2023. The trial was chaired by a panel consisting of Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Jimly Asshiddiqie and members of Bintan R Saragih and Wahiduddin Adams. From this trial, Anwar Usman was sentenced to dismissal from the position of Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court for violating a number of serious ethical violations as Constitutional judges.
The MKMK then ordered the Deputy Chairperson of the Constitutional Court to look for a replacement for Anwar Usman in the next two days. Meanwhile, Anwar himself was prohibited by the MKMK from being involved in a trial related to disputes over election results. For information, the Constitutional Court started the reading by explaining the Constitutional Court's final and binding decision. The Constitutional Court is predicted to reject or at least consider the request of the reporter to conduct an assessment, cancel, correct or review the Constitutional Court's decision which changes the requirements for the age of the presidential and vice presidential candidates.
In addition to the dismissal of Anwar Usman as the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, the results of the MKMK trial cannot change the Constitutional Court's decision which allows Gibran Rakabuming Raka to become a vice presidential candidate. This means that Mas Gibran can continue to advance in the 2024 presidential election contestation, which is said to be thanks to his uncle, even though his profession is threatened.
