About Suhartoyo
Born 1959. Suhartoyo is an Indonesian judge.
Suhartoyo (born 15 October 1959) is currently the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court of Indonesia, a position that he has held since November 2023. He ascended to the leadership of the Court following the demotion of Anwar Usman after the Court's Honorary Council found that he had committed ethical violations, which cleared the way for President Joko Widodo's eldest son to run for vice president in 2024.
Alongside I Dewa Gede Palguna, Suhartoyo was chosen by President Joko Widodo to replace outgoing Justice Ahmad Fadlil Sumadi in January 2015. A former judge from the Denpasar High Court, Suhartoyo's appointment caused controversy due to criticism from the Judicial Commission of Indonesia over his lenience on a Bank Indonesia liquidity scandal when he was serving on the South Jakarta District Court.
