"Indonesia's Defeated Candidates Seek President-Elect's Disqualification in Court"

Indonesia's losing presidential candidates, Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo, have filed a court challenge accusing the state of interference in last month's election and urging a poll re-run and disqualification of the winner, Prabowo Subianto. They claim that the victory of Defence Minister Prabowo was aided by pressure on regional officials and social aid used as a tool to ensure a specific outcome. The court is expected to hand down its decision on April 22, and the candidates have urged for neutrality and fair elections, citing violations and nepotism involving President Joko Widodo's son.
