PALU, Central Sulawesi: Police have named as suspects the
chairman and two other members of Palu Municipal General
Elections Commission (KPUD) on allegations of vote-counting
fraud.

KPUD chairman Alwi Mastura confirmed that the police had
summoned them and that they would be questioned as suspects.

The alleged offense occurred when Mastam Halim, a legislative
candidate from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-
P) reported the three for adding 218 more votes in the last
minutes to Golkar candidate Andi Indra Adil, which paved the way
for Andi to be elected councillor at Palu municipal council, but
it also stopped Mastam's legislative bid. -- JP
