Jakarta – The campaign team of losing presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto has reported the North Jakarta office of the General Elections Commission, or KPU, to the police because, a spokesman said, the commission had lost evidence of voter fraud submitted by the team.

"Today, we reported [KPU North Jakarta] to police concerning missing documents which were evidence of fraud in the July 9 presidential election," Muhamad Taufik, the head of Prabowo's Jakarta campaign team, said in a press conference on Thursday.

Taufik said the documents contained proof of "illegal voters." He claimed that the team planned to present the documents as evidence when filing an election dispute with the Constitutional Court on Friday.

"But now the documents are missing," he said. "They should not have allowed voters from other regions to vote without an A5 form [the form issued by the commission stating that an eligible voter can vote in another region]. Instead, they let them [vote]."

Prabowo withdrew his team from the vote counting process on Tuesday, predicated on "massive" fraud in many Indonesian regions.

KPU chief Hadar Gumay denied the allegation, saying that the election process was transparent, and refused Prabowo's request to delay the announcement of the results, which saw Joko Widodo, the Jakarta governor, declared the winner with 53 percent of votes.
