Jakarta, June 14 (TIWN) The legal team of Indonesias opposition leader on Friday demanded the annulment of the April general elections due to alleged irregularities.
Official results released by the General Election Commission last month showed Widodo had beaten Prabowo by 11 percentage points to win morLe than 55 percent of votes in the April 17 poll. The dispute has brought weeks of uncertainty and deadly protests in the world’s third-largest democracy. “We are filing a lawsuit against the General Election Commission, demanding that it annul its decision on the result of the presidential election,” Bambang Widjojanto, the chief lawyer representing Prabowo, told the court. Prabowo and his campaign team want the Constitutional Court to annul the election, disqualify Widodo and his running mate as candidates or hold another election. The court is expected to deliver a verdict by June 28.
