Two Indonesian presidential candidates are disputing the election body’s declaration that Prabowo Subianto won last month’s presidential vote, alleging fraud in the process.
Former Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan’s legal team filed a lawsuit before the Constitutional Court on Thursday, claiming they have proof of irregularities in the conduct of the Feb. 14 polls. The other contender, former Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo, told reporters in a separate briefing that his team will submit a similar suit as early as Friday.
