If the anti Jakarta camp grabs more votes than the pro-integration group, Indonesian military and police personnel would still be there for two to three more months to ensure security before the vote counting results are known and the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) makes a decision on the separation of East Timor from the republic, he said. But it can happen, the pro-Jakarta loyalists will probably oppose the decision, said Wiranto, who in the past assigned in East Timor five times when his military rank was still captain and colonel, after speaking at a national meeting of SOKSI, a mass organization affiliated to the Golkar Party here. Until the end of the 23-day registration period, the UN Mission in East Timor (UNAMET) noted that 446,666 East Timorese had registered inside and outside the troubled former Portuguese colony; 433,576 of them registered at 200 registration posts in East Timor. But the final number of registered voters for the ballot will be announced in Sydney prior to August 18 after verifying all data in a bid to avoid data duplication, UNAMET spokesman Davis Wimhurst said in East Timor capital of Dili last Tuesday.
