Indonesian President Joko Widodo comfortably won re-election in last month'...
JAKARTA - Indonesian President Joko Widodo comfortably won re-election in last month’s poll, an official count showed on Tuesday, throwing the spotlight on his opponent Prabowo Subianto who has refused to concede defeat after claiming widespread cheating.
“We decided the number two ticket will lodge a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court,” Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the legal director of Prabowo’s campaign team, told reporters. It was not immediately clear if planned protests by Prabowo’s supporters would go ahead, but in a video ahead of the result he had urged supporters to be peaceful.
“Whether Mr. Prabowo would accept the decision of KPU would determine the stability of politics this week,” Mirae Sekuritas said in a note.
