        "content": "<p>The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI), Sufmi\nDasco Ahmad, stated that the meeting of political party chairpersons\nregarding the Draft Election Law (RUU Pemilu) is currently limited to a\nbrainstorming forum in preparation for subsequent discussions by\nparliamentary factions.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dasco, the meeting serves as an initial space to\nexchange views on several issues within the Election Bill. As the\nprocess is still in its early stages, the forum has not yet produced any\ndecisions regarding the parliamentary threshold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrainstorming does not involve final determinations; therefore, the\nresults of these discussions are roughly as conveyed by Mr Sugiono,\u201d\nDasco said on Thursday (17\/09\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Dasco noted that the proposal for a 5 per cent parliamentary\nthreshold is one of the perspectives emerging during the discussions.\nDeliberations will continue and may adapt to the dynamics that arise\nduring the drafting process of the Election Bill.<\/p>\n<p>In this process, political parties are also awaiting the results of\npublic participation collected by Commission II of the House of\nRepresentatives, which is a mandatory stage before further discussions.\nThis input will subsequently serve as material for discussions at the\nfaction level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrainstorming is only in the early stages and will continue so that\nthe discussions by the factions in the House of Representatives can\nproceed smoothly,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Dasco mentioned that follow-up forums will be conducted alongside the\nprogress of the discussions. Regarding political parties that did not\nattend previous meetings, he ensured that all parties would be involved\nin future sessions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will invite everyone later,\u201d said Dasco.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dasco, the discussion process for the Election Bill will\nbe a lengthy one. Given the ongoing stages, various views from political\nparties and the results of public participation will form part of the\ndynamics within the House of Representatives.<\/p>",
