Megawati urges supporters to calm down

Losing presidential hopeful Megawati Soekarnoputri and Prabowo Subianto met with protesters at Teuku Umar, Central Jakarta, urging them not to riot following the Constitutional Court's verdict that rejected the pair's lawsuit.
 
“I ask you all to go home now. If you are involved in violence, I will be disappointed,” Mega said in front of the protesters Wednesday.
 
Mega's running mate Prabowo asked for the protesters to respect the legal system in the country despite the court’s decision on no systematic violations during election processes.
 
Previously, the protesters blockaded Jl. Teuku Umar leading to the Farmer Statue and Suropati Park. They burned boxes and parked a truck in the middle of the road. So far, the area is still closed while the protesters are there. (ewd)
