JAKARTA - The hot pressure took place in the 2014 presidential election political contestation. Prabowo Subianto-Hatta Rajasa's camp did not accept losing to Joko Widodo (Jokowi)- Jusuf Kalla (JK). They accused the General Elections Commission (KPU) of cheating.

The KPU is considered to side with the other side. The Prabowo-Hatta camp is also preparing to file a 2014 presidential election fraud against the Constitutional Court (MK). Evidence has been prepared. The Prabowo-Hatta camp claims reveal evidence of fraud reaching a fantastic number: 10 trucks of goods.

In addition, Indonesia welcomes the presence of the 2014 presidential election. The presidential election was felt special because President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) agreed to be neutral. The candidates also narrowed to two names. The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) champions Jokowi-JK. On the other hand, the Greater Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra) championed Prabowo-Hatta.

Both of them are competing fiercely. Campaign after campaign is carried out and always crowded. Finally, the Indonesian people were asked to decide on July 9, 2014.

They flocked to the TPS. The people also made their choice to elect the Presidents of Indonesia with a 2014-2019 term of service. The vote took place in a race against time. The survey institute also played its part.

They immediately issued a quick count result. The result narrowed to Jokowi-JK's victory. Prabowo-Hatta also reacted that they did not want to admit the results of the quick count. They think that the calculation in the style of the survey agency could be wrong.

The option of waiting for official results from the KPU is carried out. However, far from expectations. Jokowi-JK dominated with 53.15 percent, while Prabowo-Hatta only got 46.85 percent. Prabowo's camp again did not accept it.

The results of the 2014 presidential election are being challenged to the Constitutional Court. Prabowo accused that there had been systematic fraud at 55,000 polling stations. The issue of the additional election list that exploded while being directed at choosing Jokowi-JK was in question.

The problem was complemented by the KPU's dishonestness in the election in Papua. The voice of the Prabowo camp is considered to have gone missing there a lot. Cheating after cheating is considered a fact. Prabowo's camp even guarantees it. They claim to have fantastic evidence of cheating, as many as 10 trucks of goods.

Prabowo should have focused on legal steps. He needed extra personnel to prove accusations against the KPU, which he always repeated like a mantra: there has been massive, systematic, and structured fraud in the 2014 presidential election.

The claim of bringing in ten trucks of evidence, deploying 2,000 lawyers, bringing thousands of witnesses to the Constitutional Court, and deploying 30 thousand supporters may be important for him to convince the constituents," wrote Tempo Magazine's report entitled Guard of the Violenceless Session (2014).

Prabowo-Hatta's claim is no joke. They claim to have found evidence of fraud at 55 thousand polling stations throughout Indonesia. That evidence is measured at 10 thousand cargo trucks. A quite fantastic amount.

Prabowo-Hatta supporters are like getting fresh air. This evidence is considered the key to opening the veil of election fraud. It is also an example so that the candidates they support win in the election. Prabowo's camp has its own calculations.

They should have won with a total of 67.13 million people, while Jokowi 66.45 million. Problems arise. The claim of 10 trucks of evidence of fraud is doubtful. The evidence is considered too much to uncover the 2014 presidential election dispute at the Constitutional Court.

Pros and cons appear. The attack on the Prabowo-Hatta camp was considered less credible. In the end, time became a trial. Prabowo's own camp revealed that there was an error related to the mention of evidence of fraud.

The evidence in question is not 10 cargo trucks, but in the form of a large box container. However, the difference in actual claims is not very influential. The evidence is not enough to reveal the fraud of the 2014 presidential election.

As a result, all of Prabowo's demands regarding the fraud of the 2014 presidential election were rejected by the Constitutional Court. The Prabowo-Hatta camp was then forced to accept the victory of its opponent gracefully.

"The evidence carried by the container means not trucks, but box containers, and a lot of them," said member of the Red and White Defenders Team, Maqdir Ismail at the Constitutional Court Building, Jakarta, as quoted by the Kompas.com page, August 8, 2014.
