Jakarta. Pramono Anung’s outright win in the Jakarta gubernatorial election looks set to go uncontested after closest rival Ridwan Kamil didn’t file a dispute with the Constitutional Court until the deadline at 11.59 p.m. on Wednesday.

Pramono was declared the governor-elect on Sunday after winning 50.07 percent of the vote in the November 27 election. The Constitutional Court gave all candidates three days to register a dispute.

The campaign team of Ridwan, who trailed with 39.4 percent of the vote, has pledged to dispute the result in an attempt to force a runoff. 

However, after midnight on Thursday, Jakarta wasn't on the list of provinces where election disputes have been registered with the Constitutional Court.

There were also 259 lawsuits disputing outcomes in the regent and mayoral elections across the country.
