\u201cThis formula better guarantees the representation of the people\u2019s\nvoice. Thus, no votes are lost, as happened in the 2024 election, where\n18 million votes from non-parliamentary parties were not converted into\nseats,\u201d said Rofiq in a statement in Jakarta, Thursday.<\/p>\n
This was conveyed during the consolidation of the DKI Jakarta DPW and\nDPD, held in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Several parties in Senayan have proposed several options regarding\nthe parliamentary threshold, some proposing a 2 percent threshold,\nmaintaining 4 percent, or even 7 percent. The parliamentary threshold\nfigure has become a debate along with the Revision of the Election Law.\nThe DPR\u2019s Baleg has included the Election Bill in the 2026 National\nLegislation Program (Prolegnas).<\/p>\n
The revision of this rule follows the Constitutional Court\u2019s decision\nNo.\u00a0116\/PUU-XXI\/2023, which asked the lawmakers to amend the\nparliamentary threshold provision before the 2029 election.<\/p>\n
Rofiq explained that the factional threshold scheme is able to\nmaintain a balance between representation and institutional\neffectiveness.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll votes are counted. Parliament is also effective because not all\nparties automatically form factions. In fact, I challenge, would parties\nin Senayan dare to agree on a factional threshold, for example, being\nable to form a faction if they meet 10 to 15 percent of the seats,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
With this scheme, there will not be many factions in the DPR. Small\nparties also still have the opportunity to be represented without being\nlimited by forming a joint faction.<\/p>\n
This scheme is similar to what was applied in the DPR resulting from\nthe 1999 and 2004 elections. At the DPRD level, the factional threshold\napproach is still in effect.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, just abolish the parliamentary threshold. Use a factional\nthreshold that is more proportional and constitutional. Voters\u2019 voices\nwill not be lost, and political fragmentation in parliament can be\ncontrolled,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in this consolidation, all DPW, DPD, and DPC\nadministrators from DKI Jakarta were present. The core administrators of\nthe Gema Bangsa DPP were also present.<\/p>\n
The Chairman of the DPW, Charles Panji Dewanto, stated that they\nwould immediately tidy up the organizational structure to the\nsub-district level.<\/p>\n
Panji said that Generation Z mostly occupies positions in the\nstructure of the Gema Bangsa DKI DPW to DPC. These young people are not\njust for show. They are fully involved in running the organization.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn socialization, we choose issues that are of concern to young\npeople. We will also involve critical groups such as students and\nacademics to discuss real problems in DKI,\u201d said Panji.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/gema-bangsa-factional-threshold-scheme-to-ensure-votes-are-not-lost-1772130150", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
