Indonesia worries about backlash as vote hearings start
Indonesia's Constitutional Court opened hearings yesterday on a complaint filed by presidential candidate Wiranto over the July 5 election result, on grounds alleged vote-rigging has caused him to lose millions of votes.

Legal experts and political analysts have warned of a possible backlash should the court rule in favor of Retired Army chief General Wiranto and annul the official votes tally issued early last week by the Indonesian Elections Commission (KPU).

Constitutional Court Chief Justice Jimmly Asshiddiqie said over the weekend that Wiranto, who came in third in the presidential elections, had a chance to move ahead of incumbent President Megawati Sukarnoputri in the official tally if he could produce "solid evidence" of inaccuracies in the vote count.
