One Round, or Two?

The late evening discussion took place at the headquarters of Projo (short for "Pro-Jokowi") in Pancoran, South Jakarta, in early June. There were only four participants, and the discussion was held a day after the Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla and Prabowo Subianto-Hatta Rajasa presidential tickets received their serial numbers at the General Election Commission (KPU) office.

One of the participants, Sunggul Hamonangan Sirait, head of Projo's Law and Constitution Division, told Tempo that the four agreed that a judicial review of the presidential election rules be forwarded. "The existing law does not accommodate the instance of only two contestants running," Sunggul said last week.
