Challenged
THERE is nothing special about the move by Prabowo Subianto and Hatta Rajasa to appeal the presidential election results at the Constitutional Court. In line with Law No. 42/2008, a candidate who feels aggrieved can lodge an appeal with the Court.
This is not the first time this has happened since 1999when the first direct elections of the reform era were held. Five years ago, Megawati Soekarnoputri and Prabowo took the same path. Their appeal was rejected and the winner of the election, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, went on to serve a second term.
