They alleged interference by the state and urged a poll re-run and disqualification of the winner.
Mr Anies Baswedan laying out his challenge to the election result at the Constitutional Court in Jakarta on March 27.
The election in February, Mr Anies said, showed that the world’s third-largest democracy was at risk of sliding back into its authoritarian past. Mr Anies’ team told the court that as a beneficiary of unfair practices, Mr Prabowo should be disqualified from the ballot. Mr Widodo’s “nepotism and abuse of power” regarding the election violated the Constitution, they added, citing Mr Gibran’s candidacy and appointment of his supporters in regional roles.
The judge was reprimanded by an ethics panel for not recusing himself and intentionally allowing unspecified external “intervention” in the case.
