JAKARTA: The Central Jakarta District Court rejected on
Tuesday former president Abdurrahman "Gus Dur" Wahid's complaint
against the General Elections Commission (KPU) and ordered him to
pay court fees totaling Rp 179,000 (US$19).

Gus Dur filed a lawsuit against KPU for disqualifying him from
the presidential election due to health reasons in July.

The court based its verdict on the Constitutional Court's
decision to reject Gus Dur's appeal for a judicial review on Law
No. 23/2003 on general elections.

Gus Dur's camp decided to appeal the verdict. -- Antara
