PPI proclaims end to national tally<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The 53 members of the National Elections
\nCommittee (PPI) wrapped-up the 10-day national vote count of the
\nJune 7 elections on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Chairman of the General Elections Commission (KPU) Rudini said
\npoll results would be officially announced on July 21. Validation
\nof the results by the official Election Supervisory Committee is
\nscheduled to follow a few days after the announcement.<\/p>\n
Airplane engine trouble delayed the departure of North
\nSulawesi electoral officers to Jakarta on Wednesday, causing the
\nprovinces' tabulated poll results to be the last ones counted and
\nverified at the PPI secretariat on Thursday.<\/p>\n
In the final count, the Indonesian Democratic Party of
\nStruggle (PDI Perjuangan) won in 12 provinces, while Golkar was
\nplaced second, after securing support from 13 provinces.<\/p>\n
The PPI recorded a total of 105,786,658 votes counted,
\ncompared with 117,815,053 registered votes and 4,422,851 invalid
\nvotes. The committee also recorded that 93.54 percent of
\nregistered voters were able to exercise their voting rights.<\/p>\n
The volatile Aceh province had the lowest participation with
\n69.98 percent, while the Maluku province recorded the highest
\nwith 109.28 percent. The PPI is investigating the surplus votes
\nin Maluku.<\/p>\n
Golkar won in Riau, Jambi, Irian Jaya, East Timor, West Nusa
\nTenggara, Maluku, South Sulawesi, East Nusa Tenggara, Central
\nSulawesi, West Sumatra, West Kalimantan, Southeast Sulawesi and
\nNorth Sulawesi.<\/p>\n
PDI Perjuangan won in Bali, Yogyakarta, Central Java, Lampung,
\nCentral and East Kalimantan, South Sumatra, Jakarta, North
\nSumatra, Central Kalimantan, West Java and Bengkulu.<\/p>\n
The United Development Party (PPP) and the National Awakening
\nParty (PKB) triumphed in Aceh and East Java respectively.<\/p>\n
Calculations by The Jakarta Post, ahead of an announcement of
\nstembus akoord (vote-sharing) agreements among the 48 political
\nparties, put PDI Perjuangan in the lead. The party secured 154 of
\nthe available 462 seats in the House of Representatives (DPR).
\nGolkar came second with 120 seats, while the National Awakening
\nParty (PKB), the United Development Party (PPP) and the National
\nMandate Party (PAN) clinched 51, 39 and 35 seats, respectively.<\/p>\n
Allocated seats for the DPR differ according to the quotient
\nper province. The smallest quotient is for the province of Irian
\nJaya with 63,647 votes per seat, while the largest is for
\nYogyakarta with 300,680 votes per seat.<\/p>\n
With the limited eligible vote-sharing agreements, some 12
\nmillion votes will not be accommodated in the House.<\/p>\n
Only two political party alliances have been judged eligible
\nto carry out vote-sharing agreements. The KPU is working on a
\nsolution to accommodate the remaining votes.(imn)<\/p>",
