Mahendra had earlier remarked that as a lawyer of the Widodo-Amin pair, he will cooperate with the TKN legal team to hand over a request as a related party to the Constitutional Court in facing a trial in a dispute over the results of the 2019 presidential election.
"Our party is ready to submit a request as a related party. Submission as a related party is carried out if the Prabowo-Sandiaga Uno camp files a lawsuit to challenge the presidential election results in the Constitutional Court," Mahendra had stated in Jakarta on Tuesday.
Mahendra noted that the submission as a related party, in this case, is the KPU, as the defendant of the presidential election dispute, while the other party candidate 01 has the right to propose related parties, submit expert witnesses, and refute the applicant from the faction 02.

According to the plan, Mahendra and the Legal and Advocacy Team of TKN have readied dozens of lawyers, who earlier practiced at the Constitutional Court for the dispute hearing at that court.
