Despite various quick count results from credible agencies showing the contrary, Prabowo Subianto has insisted that he won the July 9 presidential election. During an interview with BBC News, he was quoted as saying “all of the real counts show I’m leading. So I’m very confident that I have the mandate of the Indonesian people”. All eyes are now on the official results that will be announced on July 22nd determining whether it’s him or Joko Widodo (who is leading the current tally) will be the new president for Indonesia.

Prabowo Requests Another Election/Vote!
Merdeka.com – Presidential candidate no 1, Prabowo Subianto, requests another election. The reason? He found many cases of fraud.
“I am concerned with the reports from my team that there were many irregularities and fraud. There are many indications of cheating involved. Thus, the election has to be repeated. There are 5800 polling stations that have agreed due to the anomalies,” Prabowo said after meeting with Habibie in Jakarta on Saturday 19th July.
“The indication of fraud is quite massive. Thus, we must have another legitimate election,” he continued
Prabowo claims that he’s sure he would win if there is no cheating involved. That’s why he’s asking for a re-election.
“God willing, I’ll win. If there’s no cheating involved.” he said

I hope KPU [official election committee] won’t give in! That guy will never admit defeat.
deganfan:
He is getting more ridiculous…

If he’s so confident of winning, why did he ask for a re-vote???

Game over, Sir. Better to admit it rather than making more people less sympathetic towards you.
rzkbolot:
Are you even sure that you can win with a re-vote?
tidak.lupa.1998:
Go prove all your fraud allegations first…
If Prabowo demands a re-vote, should we also demand a re-match of the World Cup Final?

Might as well ask the World Cup to repeat the Brazil vs Germany match, sir!
sys.onlineshop:
You previously declared that you won, how come you want a re-vote now?
