VIDEO: Many Ask For Presidential Threshold To Be 0 Percent Including Democrats, Gerindra Says 'No'

JAKARTA - The leadership of the DPR denied that the institution did not want to accommodate the aspirations of the people regarding the change in the 20 percent presidential threshold (PT) rule to zero percent.

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives from Gerindra, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, emphasized that the rules regarding the threshold for nominations for president and vice president as well as political parties are already binding in the legislation.

"We can see that the derivation of the Constitution is about the nominations for the president and vice president by political parties. That then the existing law states that," said Sufmi Dasco Ahmad at the DPR building, Monday, December 20.
