Three districts prone to conflict

YOGYAKARTA: Three districts in Bantul regency are prone to conflict between supporters of candidates contesting the upcoming election of regional heads, a police officer said on Wednesday.

Bantul Police deputy chief Comr. Hudid Wahyudi MM said the three districts were Pleret, Sewon and Banguntapan.

He added that 107 out of 1,498 voting booths in the regency would be prone to conflict.

"Prone to conflict means there might be protests at the voting booths during vote counting," he said, adding that a police officer and two security men from the community would be assigned to each voting booth during the elections, scheduled for June 26. -- Antara
