No interference in Indonesian elections, Prabowo's lawyers tell court
By Stanley Widianto and Ananda Teresia
JAKARTA (Reuters) – Indonesian President-elect Prabowo Subianto's legal team told the Constitutional Court on Thursday that the state did not interfere in last month's elections and that proceedings by his opponents to disqualify him should be rejected.
Rival candidates Ganjar Pranowo and Anies Baswedan challenged Prabowo's resounding victory on Wednesday, asking the court to order a new vote and disqualify Prabowo and his vice presidential running mate Gibran Rakabuming Raka, son of outgoing President Joko Widodo.
Otto Hasibuan, one of the lawyers on Prabowo's legal team, told the court that there was no violation or interference by the president or state institutions to influence the outcome of the elections from February 14.
“These calls for re-election, for disqualification, could trigger other problems that will lead to a constitutional crisis,” Otto told the court.
Jokowi, as the president is generally known, has been accused of favoring his former rival Prabowo and his son Gibran, who were announced winners of the election by the national election body last week.
Gibran was able to team up with Prabowo after the Constitutional Court issued a last-minute ruling changing the eligibility criteria. At the time, the court was headed by Jokowi's brother-in-law Anwar Usman.
Anwar has been barred from presiding over electoral disputes since an ethics committee found him guilty of violations.
More than 300 academics and activists submitted a legal opinion to the court on Thursday, saying Gibran's candidacy for vice president was problematic. Prabowo's lawyers argued that Gibran's candidacy was valid and did not involve any nepotism.
Characterizing allegations of wrongdoing made by losing candidates as “administrative complaints,” Prabowo’s legal team said such matters should be handled by the country’s election watchdog rather than the court.
Disputes over election results are not unusual in Indonesia and the court is expected to issue its decision on April 22. The winner of the presidential election must be inaugurated in October.
