Indonesia Police Clash With Prabowo Supporters on Verdict
This article is for subscribers only.
Indonesia’s constitutional court ruled against parts of defeated presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto’s challenge of the results, as police fired tear gas and used water cannons against crowds of his supporters.
The court’s initial rulings today found some election violations, yet struck down key parts of Prabowo’s argument against Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo’s victory in last month’s poll. The final decision was likely late today as judges broke for prayers and food during their presentation of a verdict that was more than 4,300 pages long.
