KPK Proposes the Position of Party Chair for the Longest 2 Periods

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has proposed a maximum two-term term for the chairman of a political party.

This proposal emerged from the Directorate of Monitoring in its study related to the governance of political parties. Their findings, there is no integrated standard for the kaderization system.

"To ensure the running of kaderisasi, it is necessary to regulate the limit of the party's general chairman's leadership to a maximum of 2 periods of the period of management," he quoted from the 2025 KPK Annual Report Annex on Wednesday, April 22.

In addition, the anti-corruption commission also proposed the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) to develop standardization and reporting systems for political party cadres that are integrated with party financial assistance (banpol).

"Encourage political parties to implement the Constitutional Court Decision Number 60/PUU-XXII/2024 regarding the minimum threshold of the regional election through the recruitment of candidates for regional heads based on kaderisasi."

Furthermore, other proposals were also given by the KPK such as adding a revision to Article 29 of Law Number 2 of 2011 concerning Political Parties, namely, regarding the membership of political parties in Article 29 paragraph (1) letter a, it is added that members of political parties consist of young, middle, and main members.

Then the requirements for cadres who will become prospective DPR/DPRD are clearly stated and tiered in the law (Article 29 paragraph (1a)). For example, the DPR candidate comes from the main cadre, the provincial DPRD candidate comes from the middle cadre.

Then, the requirements for prospective presidents/vice presidents/regional heads/vice regional heads in addition to being democratic and open, also added a clause from the party's cadre system.

"Adding a requirement for a minimum time limit to join a party to be nominated by a party," said the KPK Monitoring Directorate.

The KPK has issued 20 strategic studies, policy briefs and corruption risk assessments (CRA) in various national priority sectors throughout 2025 which were compiled by the KPK. All of them are actualizations of the KPK's monitoring and prevention functions to provide improvement recommendations to related institutions or agencies.
