JAKARTA - Member of the Indonesian Parliament from the PKS Faction, Mardani Ali Sera, supports the inclusion of the revision of the Political Party Law in the 2021 national legislation program (Prolegnas).

According to him, this revision of the law will be a reform process in the internal of political parties in Indonesia.

"That's something good, because currently political parties are the main source of leadership recruitment. But if there is no reform in political parties, it will be difficult, "said Mardani in a discussion on Democracy Dialectics entitled" Consolidating Democracy and Just Law ", at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Thursday, March 24.

He gave an example, if the limitation of the presidential term is clearly regulated in the law. Meanwhile, the general chairman of the political parties is not so that there is no regeneration process.

"The president has two terms of office, but the general chairman of the party has no restrictions," he said.

According to this member of Commission II of the DPR, it is not good if the position as general chairman of a political party lasts a long time. In fact, political parties have a very important position and role in any democratic system.

"Because the longer there are no restrictions, a party that does not serve, is busy going up, that is bad. Democracy, our responsibility, "said Mardani.
