Rejected candidate supporters challenge Agum Gumelar ruling

Supporters of the rejected Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI) chairman candidates George Toisutta, an army general and businessman Arifin Panigoro, vow they will likely ignore the PSSI Normalization Committee Chief Agum Gumelar’s statement that the rejected candidates could not file an appeal.

PSSI voters group spokesman Wisnu Wardhana separately said that the rejection was baseless and legally flawed as the Normalization Committee itself had violated the world soccer governing body (FIFA) Statute by taking the function as an election committee as well.

Wisnu added that the letter suggesting the rejection was also problematic as the committee suggesting the idea was led by Tjipta Lesmana, who had been dismissed by FIFA itself over a credibility issue.

"In short, there is no clear ground for the rejections," Wisnu said as quoted by tribunnew.com on Sunday.
