Jakarta, Legal Literacy - The pair Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka have submitted an application as a related party to the Constitutional Court (MK) regarding the Presidential Election dispute. They did this in response to lawsuits filed by the pair Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar and the pair Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud Md. The official registration was carried out by Prabowo-Gibran as a related party, as recorded in the MK's website on Monday (25/3/2024).

Yusril stated that his team had submitted all the requirements requested by the MK tonight. These requirements include a power of attorney signed by Prabowo-Gibran, an Advocate Identity Card (KTA), as well as minutes related to it.

"Then the application letters have also been submitted, one each for one application, which has been declared complete by the registrar of the Constitutional Court and has been recorded in the registration," he explained.
