Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The team of lawyers of the losing presidential
candidate Prabowo Subianto and his running mate Hatta Rajasa provided
details of its allegation of election rigging in each of the countrys 33
provinces in its dossier of law suit filed with the Constitutional
Court on Friday.
The Prabowo-Hatta camp has rejected the result of the July 9
presidential election accusing the Election Commission (KPU) of being
unfair in favor of its rival candidate Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and his
running mate Jusuf Kalla (JK).
The Constitutional Court published the lawsuit through its official
website, making the information available to the public.
Among the allegations are "irregularities" in Aceh with the number of voters not the same as the number of ballot papers.
The Prabowo-Hatta camp accused KUP of failing to carry out a fair
election in Aceh although it led in that province with around 55 percent
of the votes.
In North Sumatra the team of 95 lawyers cited rigging in South Nias
that polling had to be repeated in that district where Jokowi-JK led
with vast majority.
The team said KPU has refused to comply with a request by the
Prabowo-Hatta camp to repeat polling in a number of polling centers
where rules had been violated.
In West Sumatra there were structured, systematic and massive
violation as indicated by the fact that the number of voters does not
tally with the ballot papers valid and invalid, the team said.
In other provinces there were illegal voters including 444,756 in
Riau, where Praboro-Hatta led, 213,789 in Jambi and 78,581 in Bangka
Belitung, where Jokowi led, it said.
In Jakarta and Lampung, where Jokowi led, there were mobilization
of voters and in Jakarta KPU failed to comply with recommendation of the
election watchdog body Bawaslu to check 5,817 polling centers and
repeat polling in 13 polling, it said.
KPU did repeat polling in 13 polling centers in Jakarta as recommended by Bawaslu, it said.
In West Java, the countrys most populous province, where the
Prabowo-Hatta camp led with a vast majority, KPU gave no strong response
to call by the camp via the Bawaslu to settle irregularities, the team
said.
The team also said there were similar violation of polling
regulations and irregularities in other provinces including Central
Java, Yogyakarta, East Java, Bali, West Nusatenggara, East Nusatenggara
and all provinces in Kalimantan and Sulawesi, and North Maluku, Papua
and West Papua.
Altogether Prabowo-Hatta led only in 10 provinces with Jokowi-JK were victorious in 23 provinces.
The team also said there were indications of money politics
committed by the Jokowi-JK camp in the city of Probolinggo, East Java.
The team said money, sarongs and foods were distributed among voters in a number of villages in that province.
Meanwhile, in Makassar, South Sulawesi, a chairman of the campaign
team of the Jokowi-JK camp Alwi Hamu described the allegations of the
Prabowo-Hatta camp as entirely false.
Alwi charged back by accusing the Prabowo-Hatta camp of being behind
the publication of a tabloid the "Obor Rakyat" which carried libelous
stories about Jokowi in pre election campaigns.
He likened the Prabowo-Hatta camp to a thief calling other a thief.
Prabowo had also been accused of violating election rule by sending
personal letters containing his political visions in envelopes
allegedly with money to school teachers all over the country .
The election law prohibits involving certain institutions
including educational institution in political activities or campaigns.
"We have been patient all along and kept silent about all of the allegations," Alwi said.(WDY)
