: Losing Indonesian presidential candidate Anies Baswedan filed a legal case at the constitutional court on Thursday to challenge the outcome of an election won overwhelmingly by Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto.
Official results showed ex-special forces commander Prabowo Subianto, who was tacitly backed by the hugely popular incumbent President Joko Widodo, won with almost 60% of the vote, followed by Anies with 25%, and former Central Java governor Ganjar Pranowo with 16%. The Anies team has complained about the widespread allocation of social assistance, such as rice, fertiliser and cash handouts, in key electoral areas, which they said influenced the vote. The administration has rejected that.
