Re-count to be held in Jayawijaya

WAMENA, Irian Jaya (JP): Thousands of ballot papers in 32
polling places in Jayawijaya regency will be re-counted, after
the local elections committee said there were indications of
violations in the tallying.

Demianus Jehaduk, head of the Jayawijaya elections committee,
said on Saturday the ruling Golkar party had yet to agree on the
vote counting results as it said there were indications of
violations in the tallying.

The local elections committee also said ballot papers had been
distributed before polling day on June 7 in Bolkame, Ibele and
Piramid districts.(34)
