Camelia Pasandaran – The campaigns representatives of Megawati Soekarnoputri and Jusuf Kalla are filing suit over their concerns about this year's presidential election.
"There are some problems with the election that we will bring to the Constitutional Court," said Kalla campaign representative Burhanuddin Napitupulu, adding that he would register the case on Monday.
"There is a significant problem with the final voters list," Burhanuddin said. "We found that there are 27 million multiple registrations."
Megawati's campaign said it would file no later than July 28. "Besides the inaccurate final voters list, there are also discrepancies between the data that we have and the election commission's data," said Megawati representative Arif Wibowo.
Chairs provided for former President Megawati and her running mate, retired general Prabowo Subianto, stood empty Saturday as the KPU pronounced incumbent President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono the winner. A representative of Megawati's team refused to take the document containing the official results when KPU head Abdul Hafiz Anshary tried to hand it to him.
Vice President Jusuf Kalla and his running mate, retired general Wiranto, attended the event and accepted the document. But their representative, Burnahuddin Npitupulu, said they would not sign it.
KPU head Hafiz said he has prepared a team to defend the KPU's performance. "There is no problem with the final voters list," Hafiz said. "The data reported from provincial election commissions is accurate. I do not think the court will order a recount or a repeat of the election."
