Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Kaesang Pangarep admitted that he had no problem that his party had not passed the parliamentary threshold in Senayan.

"As the general chairman, it doesn't matter, this is called politics," said Kaesang at the PSI DPP office, Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, March 21.

He said in politics, winning and losing are common. Even he did not have a problem having lost even though his party had disbursed the budget.

"This is our process, our process becomes much more mature, so that it becomes better, relaxed," he said.

"I'm so stupid," he added.

Regarding the lawsuit to the Constitutional Court (MK), Kaesang said his party would first look at the situation. He also invited other parties to file a lawsuit to the Constitutional Court, including the United Development Party (PPP) which both did not qualify for Senayan.

"But yes, where did the 200 thousand votes come from when everyone has witnesses," said Kaesang when answering reporters' questions about PPP filing a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court.

Even though it failed, Kaesang assessed that the General Elections Commission (KPU) had held the 2024 General Election well. Even if there are mistakes, according to him, they are humane.

The PSI in the 2024 election only garnered 4,260,169 votes. In percentage terms, PSI's acquisition was only 2.81 percent of the total valid votes, so it failed to reach the predetermined parliamentary threshold of 4 percent.
