STORYLINE
Colombians went to the polls on Sunday to elect a new congress, amidst unprecedented security against rebel sabotage.
Officials said that 150,000 troops and police were on alert for attacks by the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, the nation's main rebel group.
The guerrillas have threatened voters in one eastern state, burned ballots elsewhere, and are urging Colombians to abstain from the election.
VOICE OVER:
0002
Sunday's voting, to replace all 268 senators and representatives in the congress, comes after President Andres Pastrana called off peace talks with Colombia's main rebel group FARC last month.
0013
Three years of negotiations to end a 38-year civil war had been fruitless.
0018
FARC have been urging voters to abstain from the election.
0022
But as President Andreas Pastrana cast his vote in Bogota , he urged people not to succumb to intimidation and to get out and vote.
0030 UPSOUND (Spanish) Andres Pastrana, President of Colombia:
0032
"Go out and vote, says the president. Go out and practice the right to vote in a responsible and conscious way to chose the best congress for our country. I want to reiterate, go out and vote, through your vote, we will defeat terrorism."
0054
Since the collapse of the peace talks, a rebel bombing offensive against civilian infrastructure, including bridges and energy pylons has isolated areas and left large swaths of the country in intermittent darkness.
0107
But Pastrana expressed hope for calm over the course of the day.
0110
Officials have said they can only guarantee security in 94 percent of the country's precincts.

The campaign period was marred by threats from the FARC and a rival right-wing paramilitary group, the United Self Defense Forces of Colombia, or AUC. The armed groups are de facto in control over large swaths of the country.
Candidates have moved freely in the larger cities, but have been unable to visit much of the lawless countryside. Some were forced to send videos of their speeches to rallies, while at least one was reduced to dropping leaflets from an airplane this week over towns he could not visit.

"In the last months we've had discussions about excluding the group of Mr Fortuyn. And I always have given the answer that I won't exclude the group of Mr Fortuyn in advance. I think that you have to respect movements, political movements, you have to respect the say of the voters, the election result - that is the reality today, but it is too early at this moment to talk about the new coalition. At this time we need orientation, we need discussions, and we have to look to the stability of that group."

"There is now a complicated situation in which we have now a political group without parliamentary experience. I have spoken to Mr Fortuyn about it before and I said that it is a situation of a Black Box in which we don't know how the group is going to function. Of course, we need a political leader for this group and at the moment we don't know who the leader is either. We are now entering an information phase in which these issues are going to be discussed and for now it is too early to talk about particular coalitions."
11. Wide of news conference
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Jan Peter Balkenende, Leader, Christian Democrats:
"I have had discussions with Mr Fortuyn about the problems of newcomers in Dutch society, I've had discussion with him about financial policy; I've had discussions with him about the state market orientation in his last book; I've had discussions with him about Islamic culture. And I suppose that if you talk with the Group Fortuyn (LPF), you have to discuss these issues. So it's too early to draw definite conclusions at this moment. "
13. Balkenende leaves news conference
STORYLINE:
Dutch voters veered to the right after eight years of progressive social policy, giving a surprisingly wide victory to the opposition Christian Democrats and a new anti-immigration party whose charismatic leader was murdered last week.
With the vote count completed, the Christian Democrats won 43 seats - a gain of 14 seats in the 150-member parliament - and the List Pim Fortuyn won 26 seats.
Jan Peter Balkenende, a 46-year-old Christian Democrat philosophy professor who has voiced distaste with the Dutch policies allowing euthanasia, gay marriages and tolerance of soft drugs, was likely to be the next prime minister.
Balkenende told journalists he wanted to complete the arduous task of coalition building quickly. "It shouldn't take more than a few weeks," he said, but he refused to discuss who his potential partners might be.

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Mat Herben, List Pim Fortuyn Chairman:
"We want to dig a channel first of all, so that we would close Holland. But, no, no jokes about this. Well, to put it briefly, for us the most important thing to do is not to shake-up this country - we already did that, I believe. So we have no further thought about shaking-up this country, we want to create a stable government where we can realise the aims of our party, and there is prosperity, health, education, and reductions in crime. So basically (those) are our aims and also of the major other political parties."

"In the last months we've had discussions about excluding the group of Mr Fortuyn. And I always have given the answer that I won't exclude the group of Mr Fortuyn in advance. I think that you have to respect movements, political movements, you have to respect the say of the voters, the election result - that is the reality today, but it is too early at this moment to talk about the new coalition. At this time we need orientation, we need discussions, and we have to look to the stability of that group."
9. Wide of news conference
10. SOUNDBITE (German) Jan Peter Balkenende, Leader, Christian Democrats:
"There is now a complicated situation in which we have now a political group without parliamentary experience. I have spoken to Mr Fortuyn about it before and I said that it is a situation of a Black Box in which we don't know how the group is going to function. Of course, we need a political leader for this group and at the moment we don't know who the leader is either.

19. Wide of Fidesz supporters
20. Orban inside Fidesz headquarters
21. More of voters cheering and waving flags
STORYLINE:
After narrowly defeating Hungary's ruling centre-right coalition, the Socialist Party and the Alliance of Free Democrats prepared on Monday for formal talks on setting up the next government.
Of the 386 seats in parliament, the Socialists won 178 and the Free Democrats 20. The joint list of the incumbent Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Party and the Hungarian Democratic Forum won 188 seats.
Recounts were expected in about five constituencies where the difference between the two candidates in the runoff vote was less than 1 percentage point, but it was unlikely the election's outcome would change significantly.
Fidesz, which trailed significantly after the April 7 first round, almost managed to turn around the election in the second round, mainly on the strength of feverish campaigning by Prime Minister Viktor Orban in rural areas, where his party dominated.
But Budapest, which accounted for nearly 20 percent of all votes, remained a Socialist stronghold, the party won 27 of 32 seats at stake in the capital city.
Initial speculation that Fidesz would try to form a minority government was seemingly put to rest by Orban, who conceded defeat to Peter Medgyessy, the Socialists' candidate for the post of prime minister.
Once the final election results are official, President Ferenc Madl is expected to nominate Medgyessy as prime minister, who will then form the next government.
After a tough and hard-fought electoral campaign, which occasionally turned nasty, Medgyessy said his priority would be to calm the political waters. Despite the close result, Medgyessy said the all-time high voter turnout of more than 71 percent guaranteed the new government's legitimacy.
Fidesz supporters, although stung by the defeat, seemed confident of a comeback.

STORYLINE:
After decades of predictable government, Dutch voters may well upset their country's well-oiled order on Wednesday.
A protest vote in the Netherlands national elections could put a leaderless, untested group of political amateurs into a key position in the next coalition.
Following the murder of populist politician Pim Fortuyn last week, the political scene has become so confused that some analysts predict an unstable coalition which may collapse within 18 months, requiring new elections.
Voting began at some 10 thousand polling stations at 7:30 am (0530 GMT) continuing until 9 pm (1900 GMT) for the 150-seat Second Chamber, the policymaking body of parliament.
About 12 million people are eligible to vote, and historically the turnout is 73-80 percent.

STORYLINE:
A pro-Western banker eager to transform the stagnant Ukraine economy today cautiously welcomed his strong showing in the country's parliamentary elections. But the Communist Party and a pro-presidential party look like formidable foes, according to results Monday.
Sunday's election came after a stormy campaign which international observers said was biased toward federal and local authorities.
Voters put President Leonid Kuchma's controversy-shadowed but stable status quo to the test in their France-sized nation of 49 million. The close race reflected still-divided opinions about Ukraine's direction more than a decade after its independence from the Soviet Union.
Exit polls had indicated a weaker showing for the pro-presidential party and buoyed the opposition overnight.
International observers who follow this year's parliamentary elections said that some violations were registered, including double voting, but in whole they were fair.
Ordinary citizens of Ukraine were in the main happy to vote freely, but they say that polling stations were organized poorly and voting was not as easy as it should have been.
It remained unclear who would dominate the 450-seat Verkhovna Rada, since only half its members are chosen by proportional party lists. The other 225 are elected directly in single-mandate districts where pro-presidential candidates are expected to fare well.

STORYLINE:
Elections were being held in the western Indian state of Gujarat on Thursday.
Earlier this year the state was shaken by religious violence that killed a thousand people earlier this year.
On Thursday voters were deciding whether to re-elect the pro-Hindu party accused of stirring up the sectarian violence, India's worst in a decade.
55 thousand security troops were ordered to prevent clashes and guard the polling booths where 33.2 (m) million voters were eligible to cast ballots.
About 176 thousand of them had fled the February to April riots that began with a Muslim mob burning a train car, killing 60 Hindus in the town of Godhra on 27 February 2002.
Revenge violence spread, and most of the victims were Muslim.
Police fear more violence after results are announced on Sunday, and some voters are nervous, too.
Muslims form 12 percent of the state's voters.
During the last state assembly election in 1998, Muslims helped swing power to the Bharatiya Janata Party, or BJP, the Hindu nationalist party.
The BJP also heads India's national coalition government. Its main rival, both in Gujarat and at the national level, is the Congress party.
Congress accuses the BJP and its state leader, Chief Minister Narendra Modi, of doing little to stop this year's religious attacks against Muslims in Gujarat and playing a religious card through the election campaign.
A tight race is being predicted if this time most Muslim voters choose to vote for the Congress party, with its secular history dating to India's founding.
Losing Gujarat could affect the BJP's prospects in other state elections next year, and shake the 19-party national coalition before Parliament elections in 2004.
