JAKARTA (Reuters) - Two unsuccessful candidates in last week's Indonesian presidential election have urged parliament to look into complaints of irregularities in the run-up to the event.

The call comes despite comments by independent observers that there were no signs of systematic fraud in the world's biggest single-day election, apart from matters such as outdated electoral rolls or polling delays.
