JAKARTA|SUDUTPANDANG.ID – Legal Team Member Prabowo-GibranOC Kaligis is of the view that all the evidence submitted in the 2024 presidential election dispute petition for candidate pair 01 Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar and candidate pair 03 Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD to the Constitutional Court (MK) is just a narrative.
This was conveyed by OC Kaligis during a press conference by the Prabowo-Gibran Legal Team after registering as related parties in the 2024 Presidential Election Results Dispute (PHPU) lawsuit at the Jakarta MK on Monday (25/3/2024) evening.
““I conclude that the evidence they put forward is narrative evidence,” said OC Kaligis.
According to the senior advocate, not a single judge’s verdict was correct dictum Candidate pair number 2 has committed fraud.
“They only labeled pair number 2 as having fraudulent elections without evidence of the judge’s verdict, and this was done as the basis for their slander against pair number 2,” said OC Kaligis.
In fact, he said that the lawsuit by candidate pairs 01 and 03 to the Constitutional Court was only to enliven “Street Justice”.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Prabowo-Gibran Legal Team, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, assessed that the lawsuit filed by the rival camp was like being against the MK itself. The reason is, this is related to the Constitutional Court’s decision which changed the nomination requirements.
“If Mr. Gibran comes forward based on the Constitutional Court’s decision and asks the Constitutional Court to disqualify, then the two Petitioners are actually not dealing with the KPU Respondent and us as the Related Party. They faced the MK itself. “Later we will see how the Constitutional Court responds to this request,” said Yusril.
Monitoring at the Constitutional Court building, a number of top advocates who were part of the Prabowo-Gibran Legal Team at 20.50 WIB.
The team of 45 advocates was commanded by Yusril Ihza Mahendra who was accompanied by several well-known lawyers, including Otto Hasibuan, OC Kaligis, Hotman Paris Hutapea and dozens of other advocates.
They officially registered themselves as related parties after previously two legal teams for candidate pair 01 and candidate pair 03 registered a PHPU lawsuit for the Presidential Election.
In their petition, the legal teams for candidate pairs 01 and 03 both requested that the Prabowo-Gibran pair be disqualified as participants in the 2024 presidential election. They considered that the issue of administrative requirements related to Gibran’s candidacy as vice presidential candidate had violated serious ethics.
