So respect the Court, not divide the nation with assumptions that have not been proven until the Court’s decision is read.
The Constitutional Court (MK) has a very important role in upholding the supremacy of law and maintaining the political stability of a country, especially in the context of election disputes. As the highest law enforcement institution in terms of the constitution, the Constitutional Court plays a key role in ensuring the integrity and fairness of the general election process.
The General Chairperson of the Muhammadiyah Central Leadership (PP), said that the public should be wise in responding to the election results as a political reality and a logical consequence of the democratic system chosen by the Indonesian people. A number of parties filed a lawsuit against the 2024 election results to the Constitutional Court (MK).

All parties should obey the rules and order to wait for the Constitutional Court’s decision. A fair and objective resolution of election disputes is a solution and can provide political certainty. Resolving election disputes in an honest and trustworthy manner is a momentum to improve performance, improve image and restore public trust which has been declining.
Public trust in the Constitutional Court is very important. It ensures that decisions taken by these institutions are accepted by all parties, even by the losers in election disputes. This prevents conflict escalation and strengthens the foundations of democracy.
Election disputes are a natural part of the democratic process where various political interests clash. However, the settlement must be carried out transparently, fairly, and in accordance with applicable legal principles. In this context, the Constitutional Court is an institution that has the authority to resolve election disputes in accordance with the provisions stipulated in the constitution.
It should be noted that in resolving election disputes, all parties involved must respect the ongoing process at the Constitutional Court. This includes political parties, candidates, and society as a whole. Respecting the Constitutional Court means not only obeying its final decision, but also not interfering with the ongoing legal process.
In a political context that is often filled with tension and dispute, it is important for all parties to maintain calm and avoid actions that could damage the integrity of the legal process. Respecting the Constitutional Court is also a form of commitment to democracy and the supremacy of law.
When an election dispute is brought to the Constitutional Court, it is necessary for all parties involved to comply with the established legal process. This includes providing necessary evidence, following trial procedures, and respecting the final decision given by the Constitutional Court.
In respecting the Constitutional Court, we must also ensure that this institution can carry out its duties free from political interference or external pressure. The success of the Constitutional Court in resolving election disputes depends on its independence as a judicial institution.
In addition, it is also important to ensure transparency in the legal process. The public must be given adequate access to information about the trial process and the arguments put forward by both sides. This helps increase public confidence in the decisions taken by the Constitutional Court.
The resolution of election disputes by the Constitutional Court not only resolves technical problems related to election results, but is also an important step in strengthening democracy. This shows that the rule of law is respected and that the constitution is used as a strong guide in the political system.
In addition, active participation in the election process must always be accompanied by readiness to accept the results, including through dispute resolution mechanisms established by law. This is an integral part of a healthy democratic process and strengthens people’s trust in democratic institutions.
It is important for all parties to respect the Constitutional Court as the institution responsible for resolving election disputes. This reflects the importance of compliance with legal processes and recognition of decisions taken by independent institutions. By respecting the Constitutional Court, all parties demonstrate their commitment to democratic principles and the supremacy of law.
Thus, in dealing with election disputes, all parties involved must show a constructive attitude and respect the ongoing legal process at the Constitutional Court. Only in this way can the integrity of democracy be maintained and the country’s political stability can be maintained.
