Al-Zaytun 'residents' protest vote-rigging

JAKARTA: Dozens of protesters claiming to be residents in the vicinity of Al-Zaytun Islamic boarding school in Indramayu, West Java, staged a rally on Wednesday at the central General Elections Commission (KPU) over an alleged voter mobilization during the presidential election.

They said voters from outside Al-Zaytun were called in to cast ballots in favor of Golkar candidate Gen. (ret) Wiranto.

"The vote-rigging had been planned long before election day and was carried out with the consent of the Indramayu regent and 20 district heads," a protester argued.
