THE COURT (MK) on Monday 22 April 2024 will decide on the 2024 presidential election dispute. This has sparked various comments, including from academic circles.
Academician and political observer from Al-Azhar University Indonesia, Ujang Komaruddin, assesses that the electability of presidential and vice presidential candidate number 02 Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka in the 2024 presidential election is the highest in the world, namely being chosen by 96,214,691 Indonesian people.
According to him, it is believed that with the highest vote, it will be taken into consideration by the Constitutional Court judges in deciding the 2024 presidential election dispute lawsuit.
“That 96 million people’s votes chose Prabowo Gibran is the largest in the history of the world presidential election, Prabowo is the highest as the president with the largest number of voters in the world and even received many congratulations from other heads of state,” said Indonesian Al-Azhar University political observer Ujang Komaruddin. , Sunday (21/4)
According to Ujang, the decision in the trial regarding the dispute over the results of the 2024 Presidential Election will be focused by the Constitutional Court judges on the trial evidence submitted by the applicant, so it will not be looked at on the number of votes obtained by a particular candidate.
“I see that the judge will objectively consider the evidence and facts at trial,” he said.

Ujang explained that in legal matters applicants are required to provide valid evidence so that their application can be granted by the judge, but if the evidence submitted by the applicant is not strong then it is certain that their application will be rejected.
“This law is about proof. “So if camps 01 and 03 can’t prove fraud, they can’t, meaning that if the evidence is weak and invalid, it will likely be rejected, unless the evidence is strong,” he explained.
Ujang said, in the 2024 Presidential Election dispute trial yesterday at the MK, the evidence presented or provided yesterday at the MK trial was not strong enough to say that there was fraud in the victory achieved by Prabowo-Gibran.

“Because after all, when the law talks about evidence, it must be real, concrete and contain conjecture,” he said.
Ujang gave an example regarding accusations of social assistance fraud from camp 01, camp 03, so that 4 ministers were present in Jokowi’s cabinet. However, the presence of these ministers further proves that there is no politicization of social assistance as alleged.
“It turns out that the minister’s presence at the trial did not benefit 01, it did not benefit 03 either, it even benefited 02,” he explained.

Therefore, the applicant’s allegations of fraud through social assistance by 02 cannot be proven, so the chances of the presidential candidates 01 and 03’s applications being rejected are very high.
“So, if the allegations of fraud through social assistance appeared to be refuted in yesterday’s trial, even though we both know about social assistance and politics, every government regime is used. “I see that Prabowo-Gibran’s 96 million votes are a very big vote in Indonesia and even in the world,” he said.
“I saw that the yes with a big vote was disqualified, the yes was cancelled, there is no history of disqualification, there is also no history of cancellation unless there is a repetition at several polling stations, even if there are proven allegations of fraud,” he continued.
For this reason, if in the results of this presidential election dispute trial the petitioners are unable to prove their accusations, then it is certain that Prabowo-Gibran will win the 2024 presidential election. In fact, the potential for lawsuits 01 and 03 to be rejected is very large when referring to the trial process that took place yesterday.
“If the alleged fraud is not proven, Prabowo-Gibran can easily win at the Constitutional Court. “I see that the potential for the lawsuit to be rejected is high or large based on the consideration of the trial at the Constitutional Court, but whatever the judge’s decision is tomorrow, we have to accept whatever the decision is,” he explained.
“If camp 01 and camp 03 are rejected, they must accept it wisely, in a logical manner because the mirror of statesmanship is seen from when they are ready to lose, when they are ready to win. “And those who win don’t need to be arrogant because that is the mandate given by 96 million votes which must be maintained,” he concluded.
