JAKARTA - The daily chairman of the Gerindra Party DPP, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, confirmed that his party used the old political party serial number, which will be used in the 2024 General Election.

"On average, political parties that qualify for Senayan, including the Gerindra Party, use the old political party serial number (used in the 2019 election)," said Dasco, at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Wednesday.

The use of the old serial number makes it easier for Gerindra to disseminate information to the public.

In addition, to make it easier for Gerindra to create and use party attributes for the benefit of socialization and campaigns.

Previously, President Joko Widodo issued Perppu Number 1 of 2022 concerning Amendments to amendments to Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections.

One of these Perppu contains material changes in Article 179 paragraph (3) concerning the serial number of political parties that meet the national voting threshold for the election of DPR members in 2019 and have been designated as election participants.

The political party can use the same serial number in the 2019 Election or follow the determination of the serial number of political parties participating in the election which was carried out in an open plenary session of the KPU.
