Brits say election was jolly good

JAKARTA: The British government has stated that the general
election on April 5 had been successfully organized despite
logistical problems.

"The British government congratulates the Indonesian General
Elections Commission and the government for successfully
organizing the legislative election on April 5, despite all the
logistical problems involved," the British Embassy said in a
press statement released on Friday.

The problems involving polling materials, which revolved
around production and distribution issues, had forced several
polling stations across the country to delay the election.

"Holding the election throughout such a large and diverse
country on a single day was an enormous achievement," the
statement said. -- JP
