Anwar Usman, the former Constitutional Court Chairman, has filed a lawsuit against current Constitutional Court Chairman Suhartoyo at the Jakarta Administrative Court on Friday (24/11/2023). "The plaintiff, Anwar Usman.; the defendant, Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia," as quoted fromthe Jakarta Administrative Court's official website . However, the specific details of Anwar Usman's case have not been made public. The panel of judges who will preside over the case is also not yet listed on the website, antaranews.com reported. Anwar had objected to the appointment of Suhartoyo as the Constitutional Court Chief to succeed him. Anwar's objection letter was submitted by his legal team on 15 November 2023. The Constitutional Court has responded to Anwar's objection letter on Thursday, saying that the appointment of Suhartoyo as the Constitutional Court chairman for the 2023-2028 term was in accordance with the applicable regulations. Anwar was stripped of his post by the Constitutional Court Honorary Council (MKMK) following a controversial ruling that allowed Gibran Rakabuming Raka, the mayor of Surakarta who is the son of President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo and Anwar's nephew, to run as a vice presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election.  Anwar remains a Constitutional Court Judge despite his dismissal as the Constitutional Court chief.
