No interference in elections, Prabowo’s lawyers tell court

The legal team of Indonesian president-elect Prabowo Subianto denied the state had interfered in last month’s elections and said an attempt by the losing candidates to disqualify Prabowo goes against the choice of the people.

The two other candidates, Ganjar Pranowo and Anies Baswedan, on Wednesday challenged Prabowo’s resounding victory in last month’s presidential election in the Constitutional Court, claiming state interference in the poll and calling for his disqualification.
