JAKARTA - The Ummah Party was declared in Yogyakarta, Thursday, April 29. The party that is supported by Amien Rais and several figures will become a political channel in upholding justice and eradicating injustice.

"Why did we create this party? Because we see that currently political parties no longer carry the aspirations of the people. Political parties have become part of the power," Deputy Chairman of the General Ummah Party, Mozin, told VOI, Friday, April 30.

According to him, currently the people are yearning for a party that truly represents their aspirations. So that the Ummat Party is here to accommodate the wishes of the people who are not satisfied with the existing political parties.

"We are the Ummah Party, it fills the void of political parties that have left their supporters," said Agung. Then how sure is the Ummat Party can participate in the general election contestation?

Agung explained, there are two things that his party will fulfill to participate as election participants. First, passing administrative verification at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and legalized by Menkumham Yasonna Hamonangan Laoly.

"We have to pass first at Menkumham. The requirements from Menkumham are that political parties are required to have fulfilled the management in 100% of Provinces, 75% of City Regencies, and 50% of Districts,"

"Alhamdulillah, I say that the Ummat Party already has 34 representatives throughout Indonesia. Then almost 80% of the districts / cities are filled and the rest are sub-districts in the process," explained Agung.

He hopes that in May the Ummat Party will complete the requirements and immediately register the party with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.

"At Menkumham what they do is administrative verification, meaning that ID cards are checked and others, 30% are women and so on. God willing, we have fulfilled these requirements," said Agung confidently.

Second, he continued, is the stage of factual verification from the General Election Commission (KPU). "Well, it takes time, in the next few years I think we can complete the requirements requested by the KPU," he said.

Agung hopes that in the next one or two years, the Ummat Party will be able to register to participate in the 2024 Pileg, Pilkada and Presidential elections. As well as participate in enlivening the democratic party and become an alternative choice for the people.

"We follow the rules of the KPU game. If the KPU says it's a year or two, then we are ready to register us in the KPU," said Agung.

As for the program, the Ummat Party will consolidate with national parties for the first time. As a door opener, the chairman of Majelis Syuro Amien Rais et al will tour the archipelago to promote the party.

"First, Pak Amien as the Syuro assembly and Mr. MS. Kaban, of course they will continue to speak up on what is the party's tagline to uphold justice and fight injustice. This is what they always convey," he said

Second, leaders from each region will also move parties in their respective regions.

"I think that injustice and injustice exist not only in the central government. In many regions there are many people who become leaders of the Ummah Party in the region, we hope that they will have the courage to be able to speak out about the tagline," said Agung Mozin.
