JAKARTA, Indonesia — Authorities bolstered security in the Indonesian capital Friday as hearings began in a court challenge to the results of April’s presidential election. The losing candidate former Gen. Prabowo Subianto claims there was massive electoral fraud and is asking the Constitutional Court to invalidate the election. ADVERTISEMENTIn a bizarre twist, Subianto’s claims about the share of the vote he won have continued to change. On Friday, his legal team said he’d won 52% of the vote, down from an earlier claim of 54% and prior to that 62%. Nine people died in what police said were orchestrated riots in Jakarta last month after official results confirmed Widodo was reelected with 55.5% of the vote.
