Bawaslu summons Megawati-Prabowo

JAKARTA: The Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) is summoning presidential hopeful Megawati Soekarnoputri and her running mate Prabowo Subianto over alleged campaign violations reported by their rivals SBY and Boediono.

"We had sent the *summons* letter on Tuesday," said Wirdyaningsih, a member of Bawaslu, as quoted by kompas.com.

Megawati is expected to be present at Bawaslu's office at 2 p.m. on Thursday and Prabowo at 3:30 p.m. to give their clarification.

Wirdyaningsih said Bawaslu would not accept representatives of the pair.

"They themselves have to come."

Earlier, members of the SBY-Boediono campaign team filed a report accusing Megawati-Prabowo of violating campaign regulations by giving a live-to-air political oration on Tuesday, a day prior to the election day. - JP
