Yogyakarta – Some 20 students of the Indonesian Students Association (HMI) and the Proletarian Student Community (Kompor) here Tuesday staged a rally to reject general elections and sealed the Yogyakarta office of the General Elections Commission (KPU).

In his oration, field coordinator Eldi Suherman said nothing took place naturally in the political sphere, and the upcoming 2004 general elections would be only a process of political recruitment designed towards a certain condition.

According to Eldi, the general lections held from the Old Order time to the reform era was merely a routine activity in the mechamism of recruiting people's representatives.
