KPU TO DECLARE SBY, BOEDIONO PRESIDENT-, VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT SOON
Jakarta, Aug 12 (ANTARA) - The General Election Commission (KPU) will soon declare presidential candidate Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his running mate Boediono as president- and vice president-elect based on the outcome of the July 8, 2009 presidential race.
KPU member Andi Nurpati said here on Wednesday that the KPU would officially issue the declaration following the verdict on
Wednesday of the Constitutional Court (MK) which rejected the lawsuit on election dispute by the two other presidential candidate pairs.
"With the rejection by the MK of the lawsuit by the other two presidential pairs, KPU's next step is to officially declare the president and vice president-elect," she said.
The KPU at a plenary session on July 25 reported that the Susilo Bambang Yudhyoyono (SBY)-Boediono pair had won 73,874,562 or 60.80 percent, the Megawati Soekarnoputri-Prabowo Subianto duo collected 32,548,105 or 26.79 percent, and the Jusuf Kalla-Wiranto ticket 15,081,814 or 12.41 percent of the votes.
The Megawati-Prabowo and Jusuf Kalla-Wiranto presidential election camps later reported numerous irregularities that allegedly happened in the July 8 poll to the Constitutional Court (MK) in what appeared to be a move to challenge the legitimacy of the election's official outcome.
