Indonesian police fired tear gas Thursday to disperse protesters who support Prabowo Subianto, who lost last month’s presidential elections, AP said.

They were trying to get close to the Constitutional Court set to rule later in the day on a challenge to the legality of the July 9 polls.

Subianto, a former general with close links to the country’s former dictator Suharto, has alleged massive fraud in the elections and filed a complaint at the court.

Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo was declared the winner of election with 53.15 percent of the vote, while Subianto received 46.85 percent.

Subianto’s coalition controls a majority of seats in the parliament, and Widodo might have trouble pushing his agenda.
