This was conveyed when the Constitutional Court (MK) read the verdict regarding the dispute over the results of the 2024 general election or the presidential election dispute filed by presidential and vice-presidential candidates 01 Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar.

Constitutional judge Daniel Yusmic P Foekh conveyed that the increase in tukin (monthly salary allowance) not only applies to election organizers but also obtained by the ranks of ministries and other institutions.

"Thus, according to the Court, the provision of performance benefits to civil servants in the Secretariat General of Bawaslu is in accordance with regulations and is not related to the issue of independence or autonomy of the election organizer in this case, Bawaslu.""

Said Daniel at the Constitutional Court Building, Jakarta, quoted from Liputan5.com, Monday, April 22, 2024.

According to Daniel, the panel of judges assessed that the Applicant's argument failed to prove the existence of interference with the independence of Bawaslu after the salary increase.

"So that the Court does not find confidence in the truth of the Applicant's a quo argument," he explained. "Based on the aforementioned legal considerations, the Court considers the Applicant's argument to be unreasonable according to the law," Daniel continued.

The Constitutional Court (MK) held a session to read the verdict of the Dispute over the General Election Results (PHPU) or the 2024 presidential election dispute today, Monday, April 22, 2024. The session was conducted openly at around 09.00 AM WIB.

Both pairs request MK to cancel KPU Decision Number 360 of 2024 which determines the results of the 2024 presidential and vice presidential elections.
