Jakarta (Antara) - The General Elections Commission (KPU) will go ahead with its recapitulation on the results of the July 9 presidential election, although a presidential candidate's success team has threatened to take the matter to court. "We will continue to hold a plenary meeting based on the schedule and regulations," KPU Chairman Husni Kamil Manik stated after chairing an open plenary session on the national recapitulation of the presidential election result here on Monday. Manik noted that the national recapitulation day on Monday was the second day of the recapitulation, which will be held for three days until Tuesday (July 22). "So, no one can stop us. The recapitulation will proceed," he stressed. Manik remarked that his side will not pay heed to the Prabowo-Hatta pair's success team's threat of taking the matter to court on grounds that the recapitulation process had legal flaws. The warning was issued by the success team rather than the presidential candidate, Prabowo Subianto, the KPU chairman added. Alamsyah of the Prabowo-Hatta pair's legal team earlier remarked that fraud had occurred in many regions, so he had given the KPU time until Monday to stop its recapitulation. If it continues with the recapitulation process, the team will take up the matter in the court. On the first day, vote recapitulation was carried out in 15 provinces with the Prabowo-Hatta duo temporarily leading with 13,176,384 votes ahead of the Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla pair's 12,249,515 votes. According to the recapitulation data, the Prabowo team won 926,869 votes more than those garnered by the Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla ticket. The KPU has planned to announce the official result of the July 9, 2014, presidential election on Tuesday (July 22). To ensure security and order, the Jakarta Metropolitan Police Command will implement a multi-tiered security system during the announcement of the presidential election result. "The KPU compound will be sterilized," the command's Deputy Chief Brigadier General Sudjarno noted. (*)
