DJAKARTA, Oct. 8 (Xinhuanet) -- The Indonesian Constitutional Court has confirmed Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's election victory asincumbent Megawati Soekarnoputri left the public guessing whether she would accept the result.

    Megawati and running mate Hasyim Muzadi did not file any complaint with the Constitutional Court by the 04:20 pm deadline on Thursday, prompting the court to declare the result announced by the KPU last Monday as final and binding, The Jakarta Post newspaper reported Friday.

    "The Constitutional Court confirms that the election result as announced by KPU is final and binding. There is no more legal-constitutional effort available to change the result," court president Jimly Asshiddiqie was quoted as saying.

    The KPU announced on Monday that Susilo and Yusuf Kalla had wonthe runoff with 69.2 million votes or 60.68 percent of valid votescast in the Sept. 20 election, compared to Megawati's 39.38 percent.

    Citing counting irregularities, Megawati's camp had planned to file a complaint with the court, but by 04:20 p.m. on Thursday herteam of lawyers had not shown up.

    Pramono Anung Wibowo, deputy secretary-general of Megawati's Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), said on Thursday that Megawati had clearly accepted her defeat.

    "The fact that we did not file a complaint with the Constitutional Court means that (Megawati) sees that the process went on as it should have," Pramono said.

    One day after the KPU announced Susilo's election victory, Megawati called on the public to accept the result, but still refrained from conceding defeat.

    Megawati's campaign team said on Thursday that they accepted the result of the presidential runoff but expressed disappointmentover irregularities during vote counting in some regions.

    The team said that it would not bring the irregularities to theConstitutional Court given the fact that the number of disputed votes was not significant.

    "We accept the poll result, but would like our comments noted. We will not bring it to the Constitutional Court because the disputed votes are estimated at only around 2.3 million," campaignteam secretary Heri Akhmadi told the press here on Thursday. Enditem
