Uneasy Rider

WE should ignore any complaints from presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto following the ruling by athe Constitutional Court. Now is the time to think about other, more useful things. Anybody of sound mind could begin by trying to reconcile the two opposing sides in order to reduce the political temperature.

This does not mean that the right of Prabowo and his supporters to continue searching for 'justice' should be obstructed. In this state based on the rule of law, everyone is free to follow their own path as long as it is the right one. But what would be the point in, for example, continuing the 'struggle' by challenging the General Elections Commission's (KPU) decision at the State Administrative Court, as that court-according to law-has no authority to examine electoral disputes at the center or in the regions?
