Latest Indonesian election vote count

JAKARTA, June 9 (AFP) - The countrywide vote count in Indonesia's general elections, giving the positions of the leading parties among the 48 contestants, according to the latest Election Commission figures:

This tally was released by the commission at 11:05 p.m. Wednesday (1605 GMT) with 6,110,493 votes, around five percent, counted out of the expected 112 million votes cast.


Indonesian Democracy Party-Struggle (PDIP) 2,378,613 (38.9 percent)

   National Awakening Party (PKB)             1,281,160 (20.9 percent)
   Golkar Party                                 971,441 (15.8 percent)
   United Development Party (PPP)               542,032 ( 8.9 percent)
   National Mandate Party (PAN)                 365,883 ( 6.0 percent)

The remaining votes were shared by a host of smaller parties.

Indonesia has adopted a system of proportional representation which allows parties to share their votes and could play an important role in the final allocation of the 462 parliamentary seats up for grabs.


(This count is from the Election Commission, not from the parallel count at the press center).
