In response to that, Hotman mentioned that the statement revealed by the expert is not within the authority of the Constitutional Court. He then asked Anthony to explain the statement regarding Jokowi violating several articles in the Law. "I am a bit confused, is this a legal expert or an economic expert? Because earlier his opinion exceeded that of a legal expert. My question, if your accusation is true, (regarding) Jokowi committing corruption, Jokowi violating the State Budget Law, Jokowi violating (because) he did not seek approval from the DPR. That is why the petitioner requests the election to be canceled and repeated," said Hotman.

"The question is, does the Constitutional Court have the authority in its decision to declare that, because Jokowi violated the anti-corruption law, violated the state budget law, violated the social assistance law, the election must be canceled and repeated? Meanwhile, none of those parties are involved in this case, neither Jokowi, the DPR, nor the ministers. Is it allowed for the Constitutional Court to declare that as the reason to cancel the election?" he added. After that, the KPU as the respondent also asked its question to the expert. Anthony then answered each question that was asked."

"Yes, no need to be too enthusiastic, sir (expert) do you want to answer?" asked Suhartoyo. "I surrender, because the decision is in the Court, so I leave it to the Court. It's not my authority," answered Anthony. Suhartoyo said that the expert didn't need to force himself to answer. This, then made Hotman protest again. "Please excuse the assembly, he started it, he said Jokowi is corrupt, he said this, he must be consistent as an expert explaining," said Hotman.
