Rioting protests took place on May 21-22 after the General Elections Commission (KPU) announced the results of the presidential and parliamentary elections.
The final tally showed that the Joko Widodo-Ma’ruf Amin pair secured 85 million votes (55.5 percent), while the Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno pair garnered 68 million votes (44.5 percent).
Prabowo rejected the results and filed a lawsuit to the Constitutional Court.
On June 14, the court considered related evidence shown by lawyers of Prabowo before deciding that whether the evidence is strong enough to proceed with the case.
National police spokesman Dedi Prasetyo said 32,000 police officers and soldiers had been deployed across Jakarta in anticipation of any potential for disruption that could interfere with proceedings.
Eight people were killed and over 700 hurt in the riots in prior protests.
