INDONESIAN MAGAZINES REPORT ON THE ELECTIONS IN JAKARTA, 1999-06-10 (photo)

Local magazines bearing pictures of Indonesian election front-runners Amien Rais (L), of the National Mandate Party (PAN) and Megawati Sukarnoputri (C and R), of the Indonesian Democratic Party-Struggle (PDI-P), are touted through Jakarta's traffic June 10 as counting continues in the nation's historic parliamentary elections. Magazines and newspapers across Indonesia are already speculating who will be the new president to take the nation of over 200 million into the next millennium. Vote counting continues as a painful pace with only ten per cent of the vote counted on June 10, three days after the polls closed. JIR/DL/CLH/
