BERITA SOLO - The Constitutional Court (MK) decided to accept the file of dispute application results of the 2019 Presidential Election from the Vice President Candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto - Sandiaga Uno as a result of revision or improvement. This closed the polemic about whether or not the revised file had been rejected by the KPU.
Thus, the Constitutional Court ruled out the exception or objection that had been submitted by the KPU and the Jokowi - Maruf Amin Legal Team during the initial hearing of the case some time ago.
MK Judge Enny Nurbaningsih said that the initial application file for the Prabowo Legal Team - Sandiaga Uno which was submitted on May 24 and the file for the revised application on June 10 was an inseparable unit.
Therefore, Enny said, the Court also did not assess the application submitted by the Prabowo - Sandiaga Uno Legal Team on June 10 as a file for the revision of the application.
"In this case the court is of the opinion that the manuscript referred to by the applicant as an amendment is an inseparable part of the manuscript submitted on May 24, 2019. Therefore, the court also does not consider this as an amendment in the actual meaning, namely substantially separate May 24, 2019, "Enny said during a session of the 2019 Presidential Election PHPU, at the Constitutional Court, Central Jakarta, Thursday (06/27/2019).
MK Judge Saldi Isra's member added, the Constitutional Court had provided an opportunity to the KPU's defendants, parties related to the Jokowi Legal Team, and the Bawaslu's statement to respond to the June 10 application file.
"The court's attitude is clear on the one hand that there is no inconsistent desire to carry out legislative orders, especially the procedural law at the constitutional court. On the other hand, it must pay attention to the justice of all parties, especially the technical issues that occur," said Saldi.
"Therefore the objection of the respondent [KPU], as far as relating the text according to the respondent is that the revision of the application must be declared unwarranted for the law," he added.
Previously, Head of the Paslon 01 Legal Counsel Team Joko Widodo (Jokowi) -Ma'ruf Amin, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, asked the judge of the Constitutional Court (MK) to use the application document submitted the first time by Paslon 02 legal counsel Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno.
Previously, the legal counsel team of the candidate pair 02 had submitted the dispute claim document for the 2019 Presidential Election the first time on May 24, 2019. The team led by Bambang Widjojanto later submitted a document revision on June 10, 2019.
Yusril said that he would strongly reject the change in accordance with the provisions of the law and the procedural law of the Constitutional Court. "In the case of this presidential dispute, the request may not be changed at all. So we will hold fast to that provision and will expect the panel of judges to examine the registered application, May 24, 2019," he said at the Court Building on Thursday (13 / 6/2019).
