"The election system is broken”… again?
Manage episode 263764757 series 2698143
Presidential contender, Prabowo Subianto and his political coalition, rejected the official presidential election results announced by the General Election Commission (KPU) and filed a lawsuit in the Constitutional Court citing that “structural, systematic and massive electoral fraud” had occurred. His challenge received quite a bit of attention in both the local/international media and by political observers that believed such a move could escalate political tensions and divide the country.
Despite the hype, media attention and fears of polarization, Prabowo’s decision to appeal the presidential election results in the Court is actually the norm not the exception. Shawn and Tanita shed light on how many of the same political players in power today made the same claims in past elections when the results weren't in their favor.
