Yesterday, for the first time, direct election of Governoor and Vice governor was held in Aceh. According to the quick count report was published by LSI [Indonesian Survey Organization], the independent candidate of GAM, Irwandi Yusuf and M. Nazari, exceeded another candidate absolutely. The quick count which was done by taken some examples of vote taking place [TPS] shows that Irwandi-Nazari got 38,57 % of votes. Humam-Hasbi got 17,04 %, Malik-Fuad got 13,96 % and its left for another couples. Although it’s not finish yet, but the quick count report can be quaranted for its correct and can be responsibled. Because it was tested within legislative and president elections in several years ago. The winning of GAM’s candidate give a chance for fighting its goals at political line. Even though GAM didn’t have guns, but its desire to be free is still will be fighted. Perhaps, that’s must be attentived by Indonesian government. [Mac]
