Indonesia's top court begins hearing election appeals of 2 losing candidates who want a revote

Losing presidential candidate Anies Baswedan, center left, talks to journalist as his running mate Muhaimin Iskandar, second left, listens upon their arrival for hearing appeals against the presidential election results, which were lodged by losing candidates, at the Constitutional Court in Jakarta, Indonesia, Wednesday, March 27, 2024.

Subianto chose as his running mate Gibran Rakabuming Raka, the son of the popular outgoing president Joko Widodo.

He said there are also disturbing practices where regional officials are pressured or given rewards to influence the direction of political choices, as well as misuse of the state’s social assistance, which is actually intended for people’s welfare, “is instead used as a transactional tool to win one of the candidates.”

The verdict, expected on April 22, cannot be appealed. It will be decided by eight justices instead of the full nine-member court because Usman is required to recuse himself.
