00:00 The two candidates who lost to Prabowo Subianto in last month's presidential election in Indonesia

00:07 have challenged the election results in court.

00:10 Anis Basuiden told the Constitutional Court on Wednesday that the election was marred

00:15 by violations, while Ganjar Pranowo claimed that the abuse of power in the polls had destroyed

00:21 the morals of the country.

00:22 "Has the 2024 Bill of Rights been carried out freely, honestly and fairly?

00:32 Allow us to deliver the answer, no.

00:35 What happened was the opposite, and this is evident in front of all of us.

00:41 We witness with deep concern a series of violations that have undermined the integrity of our

00:48 democratic process.

00:49 Starting from the beginning, the independence that should have been the main pillar in the

00:54 election has been crushed by the intervention of power that should not have happened.

00:59 Among the violations we witness is the use of state institutions to win one of the

01:05 candidates who explicitly did not meet the criteria set.

01:10 There is also a dilapidated practice where regional apparatus is under pressure, even

01:20 given a barrier to influence the direction of political choice and misuse.

01:25 The aid from the state, the real social assistance, is allotted to the welfare of the people,

01:32 but is made a transactional tool to win one of the candidates."

01:37 Anis received 24.95% of the vote while Ganjar polled 16.47% in the February 14 election.

01:49 President-elect Prabowo Subianto has maintained he won in a fair election, with the government

01:54 denying any interference.

01:55 "We will hand over our written response to the Constitutional Court.

01:57 of the Constitutional Court.
