Vice presidential hopeful Prabowo Subianto claims he has received many reports of irregularities in Wednesday’s presidential election.

"As many as 5,000 ballots where voters marked the Megawati Soekarnoputri and Prabowo box have been declared broken by local officials. It happened in Tanjung Priuk," Prabowo told a press conference Wednesday.







He blamed several state institutions for failing to guard the election neutrally, but refused to name which ones.
