        "summary": "Are we ready for democracy? The President's decision (to declare the June 7 vote results valid) is not likely to raise objections, except from the political parties who refused to sign the document in question. President Habibie's decision was positively greeted by leaders of political parties who met with him on Tuesday. However, it should have been the General Elections Commission (KPU) to endorse the ballot's results.",
