JAKARTA - The United Development Party (PPP), admitted that it actually wanted the number of political parties (political parties) participating in the 2024 General Election to be drawn again to bring equality to both old parties and new parties. "PPP, when we talk about our preferences, prefers to be drawn, yes. But if the majority are not drawn, PPP also does not question it," said PPP Deputy Chairperson Arsul Sani at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, December 13. "At least the right of the principle of equality as a participant is fulfilled. The principle of equality as an election participant is fulfilled. Both old parties and new parties," he continued. However, what is the power, the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu) related to Law number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections (Pemilu) has been signed by President Joko Widodo and is ready to be issued. So like it or not, the Kaaba Party follows what has been approved by members of political parties in parliament not to change the serial number of political parties. "Because they want it to stay with the old number, yes, the old number can be maintained, right, the interpretation room," said the member of Commission III of the DPR. It is known that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) finally signed and issued a Government Regulation in Lieu of the Election Law (Perppu) on Monday, December 12. One of the reasons is to change the provisions of the serial number of political parties participating in the election. Namely, the Government changed the contents of Article 179 of the Election Law. Point 3 in Article 179 initially reads like this: "The determination of the serial number of political parties as election participants is carried out in a plenary session of the KPU which is open to the presence of representatives of political parties participating in the election." In the new regulation then changed to: "Political parties that have met the national voting threshold for DPR member elections in 2019 and have been designated as Election Participants as referred to in paragraph (2) can use the same election vote number for political parties in the 2019 election or follow the determination of the election participants' political party serial number which was held in a plenary session of the KPU which was open to the presence of representatives of the Political Parties Participants in the Election.
