JAKARTA - The ruling Democrat Party led by Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono won the republic’s legislative election, winning 148 seats. The final results of the April 9 election, announced by the election commission last night, showed that the Democrat controlled 26.43% of the 560-seat parliament.
Vice-president Jusuf Kalla’s Golkar party and Megawati Soekarnoputri’s Partai Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan (PDIP), won 108 and 93 seats respectively. The counting of votes, which took a month to complete, showed only nine out of 38 parties eligible to contest in the election, managed to secure seats in parliament.
Apart from the Demokrat, Golkar and PDIP, the other parties are Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (59 seats), Partai Amanat Nasional (42), Partai Persatuan Pembangunan (39), Partai Gerakan Indonesia Raya (30), Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa (26), and Partai Hati Nurani Rakyat (15).
Voter turn out was 60.78% or 104.1 million of the total 171 million electorates. The announcement of the final results paved the way for the nomination for the presidential election candidates, and their running mates, which will take place until May 16. The presidential election is on July 8.
