According to Subianto, the KPU’s election result is not valid as violations (fraud) took place at thousands of polling stations on the Election Day (9 July 2014). However, based on Indonesian law, a presidential candidate that withdraws from the race is not entitled to challenge the election result at the Constitutional Court. Therefore, the Subianto camp have tried to row back Subianto’s earlier statements concerning his withdrawal. Meanwhile, media reports surfaced that claim that Hatta Rajasa, the running mate of Subianto, has accepted the KPU’s final result; a sign of division in the Subianto camp. Earlier on the day, when the defeat of Subianto became known, other members of the team had already resigned (for example former Constitutional Court chief Mahfud M.D)

There have been no reports of any riots or social unrest.
