JAKARTA -- Lawmakers from Indonesia's largest party and others on Tuesday called for a legislative investigation into alleged irregularities during the presidential election in February.

Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto is said to have received tacit support from outgoing President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo during the race, undermining the government's neutrality and benefiting Prabowo.
