“There are at least five categories of very principle violations that occurred in the 2024 Presidential Election process. First, ethical violations that occurred in plain view starting with Constitutional Court Decision 90/PUU-XXI/2023,” said Todung at the Constitutional Court Building, Jakarta, Tuesday (16/4 /2024).
“If you read the information, it is very clear that nominations that violate serious ethics are what Father Magnis Suseno calls a serious ethical violation,” he added.

Todung said that from the Constitutional Court’s decision a second violation emerged, namely, nepotism. According to Todung, the MPR TAP and other laws clearly prohibit nepotism.

“And, if we look at what President Joko Widodo is doing to encourage his children and son-in-law, that is part of building a ruling dynasty which in our opinion violates ethics as stated by Father Magnis Suseno,” said Todung.
Apart from that, the Ganjar-Mahfud Legal Team highlighted the third violation, namely abuse of power, which was very massive and coordinated. Todung revealed that this serious violation was a procedural violation.
“Well, you can see what the KPU, Bawaslu and Candidate Pair 02 have done. In our opinion, this violation can result in a revote,” he stressed.
The Ganjar-Mahfud Legal Team also highlighted misuse of IT applications. Todung reiterated the statement from Roy Suryo talking about the very large numbers related to misuse of IT applications.
“Apart from that, brother Ali Maksum, he was not a witness but met with us. He said the figure was more than 50 million, a fake number. “Brother Anas talked about the figure of 32 million, a figure that we have to question from the C1 results,” explained Todung.
The politicization of social assistance during the last three months leading up to the voting has also been in the spotlight of the Ganjar-Mahfud Legal Team.
Todung assessed that the four ministers presented by the Constitutional Court only stated that the social assistance was based on law and approved by the DPR and the Government, but did not explain what was happening in the field.
“There are many violations that we can mention specifically, I can mention this and we have all repeated this many times, the politicization of social assistance, which was carried out especially in the last 3 months before the voting,” he said.
“There are questions about why the distribution of social assistance is centralized before the election, and why the recipients of social assistance do not match the existing data. “Then, why did President Joko Widodo make 34 visits to voting barns that have a strong support base for Ganjar-Mahfud,” concluded Todung.
