Indonesian parties debate 2029 election law revisions

Overview

Indonesian political parties and the government are preparing for the 2029 election cycle through proposed revisions to the Election Law (RUU Pemilu). Central to the debate are the parliamentary and presidential thresholds. While Golkar and Gerindra have indicated support for a 5% parliamentary threshold, the Democrat Party is reviewing options ranging from 5% to 7%, and the National Mandate Party (PAN) has objected to any increase above 4%. PAN Vice Chairman Viva Yoga Mauladi warned that exceeding 4% could lead to high levels of disproportionality, noting that previous thresholds resulted in millions of valid votes failing to convert into seats.

Partai Solidaritas Indonesia (PSI) Secretary General Raja Juli Antoni stated the party is prepared for any legal threshold but noted that higher requirements could leave more votes unrepresented. In recent developments, Antoni reaffirmed that PSI is prepared for a potential increase in the parliamentary threshold to 5% for the 2029 elections. He also criticized legal challenges regarding Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s educational credentials, describing them as ‘uncivilized political maneuvers.’

Legislative discussions also include presidential candidate sponsorship and the potential separation of legislative and presidential elections, a move supported by the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS). Speaker of the House Puan Maharani clarified that discussions regarding a 5% parliamentary threshold and new nomination requirements are not yet official decisions. Deputy Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad and Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Bima Arya confirmed that the government is coordinating with Commission II of the DPR to prepare substantive positions. Commission II Deputy Chairman Aria Bima indicated that a Working Committee (Panja) is expected to be formed before the upcoming legislative recess to begin drafting the revisions.
