The Constitutional Court (MK) reported that 65 laws (UU) were challenged or requested for judicial review at the MK throughout 2023.

The Election Law (UU Pemilu) was the most frequently challenged law at the MK last year, with 42 challenges.

One of the MK's rulings related to the challenge of the Election Law that sparked public discussion is Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023.

This decision opened an opportunity for President Jokowi's eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, to run as vice-presidential candidate alongside Prabowo Subianto, even though Gibran did not meet the minimum age requirement of 40 years.

As a consequence of this decision, Anwar Usman, a constitutional judge and Jokowi's brother-in-law, was removed from his position as Chief Justice of the MK for committing serious ethical violations.

The next most frequently challenged law was the Job Creation Law (UU Cipta Kerja), with 11 challenges in 2023.

Following this were Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning Criminal Procedure Law (KUHAP), which was challenged 7 times, and Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (KUHP), which was challenged 6 times.

Suhartoyo also revealed that the duration for completing the judicial review of laws in 2023 was only 52 days per case. This duration is faster than in 2022, which reached 78 days per case.
