REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said that electoral complaint by Prabowo Subianto and Hatta Rajasa was understandable. Yudhoyono recalled that in 2009 Megawati Soekarno Putri-Prabowo, and Wiranto-Jusuf Kalla also file lawsuit against the election result that year.
"They did nit recognize the election result announced by General Election Commission, then they file lawsuits to the Constitutional Court. So that, it is not the first time," Yudhoyono said recently.
At that time, Constitutional Court proceeded the lawsuit filed by Megawati and Wiranto. Now, Yudhoyono has put his trust to Constitutional Court to proceed lawsuit filed by Prabowo-Hatta.
"I provide support for the Court to deal with the lawsuit," Yudhoyono said then appealing to Indonesians to remain calm and restrained.
