Indonesia has formally annouced the results of last month's general election, with the ruling Golkar party winning 325 seats in the 500-member parliament.

The National Election Institute says the Muslim-based United Development Party or P-P-P, won 89 seats, while the Christian-Nationalist Indonesian Democratic Party or P-D-I, won eleven.

75 seats in the assembly are reserved for the military.

The official results give the P-D-I the minimum number of seats required under parliamentary regulations.

The P-D-I was split after the government-backed removal of Megawati Sukarnoputri from the leadership last year.

In a statement yesterday a supporter of Ms Megawati claimed the Electoral Institute had tampered with figures in North Sumatra which resulted in the awarding of an extra seat to a candidate from the government-backed P-D-I faction.
