Election analysts in Indonesia are claiming widespread irregularities in the country's general elections.

The Jakarta-based Independent Election Monitoring Committee said it had evidence of ballots by unregistered voters, and some people voting twice.

Spokesman Gunawan Mohammad said bureaucrats were forced to maintain a high level of voter turnout for President Suharto's ruling Golkar party. .

The group said it had 8-thousand volunteers at 600 polling stations across Indonesia.

With 84-per-cent of the vote counted, Golkar has 74-per-cent of the vote.

Of the two opposition parties, the Muslim-based United Development Party polled nearly 23-per-cent.

The deeply-split Indonesian Democratic Party was crushed...it's vote dropped from 15-per-cent in 1992 to three-per-cent .

Analysts saw PDI's demise as a moral victory for Sukarnoputri Megawati, who was ousted as leader last year...she was banned from standing this year.
