The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Mon, 07/26/2004 12:32 PM
YOGYAKARTA: Former President Abdurrahman ""Gus Dur"" Wahid forecast on Saturday that the number of people likely to abstain from voting in the second round of the presidential election on Sept. 20 could be as high as 60 percent.
""Based on an analysis by my staff, the number of poll abstainers will rise significantly, reaching 50 percent to 60 percent,"" said Gus Dur, who is also the chief patron of the National Awakening Party (PKB).
He refused to comment on whether the elected president would be perceived as having little legitimacy due to the huge number of abstentions, but said he would continue not to vote in the runoff. --JP
