MK Tolak Permohonan Anies-Muhaimin, Tiga Hakim Berpendapat Berbeda (Putusan Nomor 1/PHPU.PRES-XXII/2024)

The Constitutional Court rejected the Anies Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar challenge to the 2024 presidential result in full, grouping the claims into six clusters: independence of the election bodies, validity of the candidacies, social assistance, mobilisation and neutrality of state officials, election procedure, and the Sirekap application. It held that social protection spending of Rp 496.8 trillion within a planned budget of Rp 3,325.1 trillion was lawful and that no empirical evidence showed it directed voters' choices, and that the DKPP and Honorary Council ethics findings did not invalidate the candidate registration. For the first time in a result dispute three justices dissented: Saldi Isra, Enny Nurbaningsih and Arief Hidayat would have ordered re-voting, Arief naming Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, East Java, Bali and North Sumatra within 60 days.
