JAKARTA - The chairman of the Golkar Party's DPP, Ace Hasan Syadzily, invited Novel Baswedan or 56 former KPK employees who wanted to form or join a political party. According to him, it is the political right of all Indonesian citizens.

"It is the political right of every citizen to establish a political party," said Ace at the DPR Building, Thursday, October 14.

The Deputy Chairperson of Commission VIII of the DPR respects that there are groups who want to channel their aspirations through the forum they have formed.

"If anyone has political desires and aspirations, of course we have to respect and respect those wishes," he said.

Even if you want to join Golkar, said Ace, his party will open up space to jointly grow the party.

"But for us, anyone who wants to join the party, of course we are very open," said Ace.

Previously, the former Head of the Drafting of Regulations and Legal Products at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Rasamala Aritonang had the intention of forming a political party. According to Rasamala, there is an opportunity to make big changes if they can form a political party.

Rasamala Aritonang is one of 57 employees who were fired by the KPK because they did not pass the National Insight Test (TWK). Rasamala and 56 other anti-corruption agency employees were deemed ineligible (TMS) to become State Civil Apparatus (ASN).

"Yes, I think that if you want to make changes that have a big impact, political parties are one of the strategic vehicles in the democratic system," said Rasamala, Wednesday, October 13.
