National Working Meeting, NasDem Pursues The Top 3 Positions In The 2029 Legislative Election To Declare Rejecting Separation Of National-Regional Elections

JAKARTA - The NasDem Party in the National Working Meeting (Rakernas) I set a target to be able to occupy the position of the top 3 votes in the upcoming 2029 Legislative Election.

The effort to dominate the 2029 election was revealed by the Deputy Secretary General of the NasDem Party, Dedy Ramanta, to be the party's big agenda in the future.

"The general summary is that the NasDem target of being in the top 3 positions in the 2029 election can be achieved," said Dedy in Makassar, Sunday, August 10.

Dedy revealed, in today's closed National Working Meeting, NasDem submitted a number of political attitudes recommendations. One of them is the idea of structuring an open electoral system which is modified with a proportional quota.

Then, NasDem stated that the Constitutional Court (MK) Decision Number 135/PUU-XXII/2024 which separates national elections and local elections exceeds authority.

"Changing constitutional norms is the domain of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR). NasDem urges the DPR to initiate constitutional dialogue involving the MPR, President, and related state institutions, in order to ensure that all national life events are subject to the 1945 Constitution," explained Dedy.

In addition, the General Chairperson of NasDem Surya Paloh has also emphasized that NasDem will remain a supporter of the government as long as the policies taken are in favor of the people, as well as provide alternative solutions for policies that are not yet optimal.

"By becoming a supporter of the government in totality, we hope to become a friend of the government," explained Dedy.

NasDem, continued Dedy, also encourages the revision of the Central Financial Relations Law on profit-sharing funds, as well as reminding the importance of preventing deindustrialization, reducing poverty, improving the quality of human resources, and building clean and effective governance.

"The document on the work plan resulting from the National Working Meeting I will serve as a guide, direction for the struggle and guide for the NasDem tactics strategy," he added.
