Indonesia: Opposition rejects Widodo’s victory

Joko-Widodo

Indonesian presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto said on Tuesday he did not accept official election results giving President Joko Widodo a second term because he believed there had been cheating in the poll.

Earlier, a campaign official said the retired general would contest the result in the Constitutional Court.
