JAKARTA - Indonesia's opposition has uncovered data irregularities affecting millions of people in the election rolls and vowed on Monday to take legal action, or use"people power", if its complaints were not resolved.
"We will continue to demand our right, as one of the contestants in this election, that this be resolved as quickly as possible," Mr Hashim Djojohadikusumo, media director for the opposition campaign, told a news conference. Mr Viryan Azis, a commissioner at the KPU, told Reuters the Election Commission had"responded positively" to issues raised by the opposition, had clarified the data with other agencies and conducted sampling. The opposition would receive a written response as well as evidence from the field, he added.
In 2014, the constitutional court rejected an attempt by Mr Prabowo, as he is usually known as in Indonesia, to overturn his loss in the election over claims it was tainted by cheating.
