JAKARTA — Indonesia's losing presidential candidate Anies Baswedan on Wednesday laid out his challenge in court to last month's presidential election, calling it unjust and fraught with interference to sway the ballot in favour of one candidate.Presidential candidate Anies Baswedan shows his ink-stained finger after casting his vote at a polling station during the general election in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Feb 14, 2024.
The former Jakarta governor said the election, which saw a resounding victory for Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto, was helped by the pressure from the administration on regional authorities and the mobilisation of social aid as a"transactional tool" to ensure one outcome. "If we don't perform corrections right now, then it'll become a precedent in the future at votes on every level," he said."This practice will be perceived as normal, a habit."
