The camp of Indonesia’s losing presidential candidate has filed a complaint with the Constitutional Court alleging widespread fraud at the polls and demanded a revote.

Todung Mulya Lubis, left, a prominent Indonesian lawyer representing losing presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo registers a legal challenge alleging widespread irregularities and fraud in Feb. 14 presidential election, at the Constitutional Court in Jakarta, Indonesia, Saturday, March 23, 2024. The election winner, Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto, received more than 96 million votes, or 58.6%.

He said that the candidacy of Raka, President Joko Widodo’s son, should not have been allowed and alleged that some regional leaders and village heads had been intimidated into voting for him. He also alleged that state funds were used to buy votes. Both losing candidates had assaulted Raka’s participation in the election. The Constitutional Court had made an exception to the minimum age requirement of 40 for candidates. Raka is 37.

“This is not a matter of winning or losing,” he said. “We are willing to lose if it is fair, we don’t want to lose if it is unfair.”
