        "summary": "The NasDem Party has endorsed a proposal from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) that presidential candidates must originate from a party's cadre system to foster motivation and responsibility among party members. Party leaders emphasise that this approach would encourage loyalty and moral accountability, while also advocating for cadre development for party chairpersons to ensure organisational continuity. NasDem already implements a structured cadre programme through its Academy of National Defence, positioning it as a leader in this area.",
        "content": "<p>NasDem Party Deputy Chairman Irma Suryani Chaniago has approved the\nCorruption Eradication Commission\u2019s (KPK) proposal regarding\npresidential candidates (capres) needing to come from a political\nparty\u2019s cadre system, so that cadres have motivation and\nresponsibility.<\/p>\n<p>As a party cadre, she stated that career progression within the party\nwould also encourage cadres to remain loyal to their party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, as a party cadre, I agree,\u201d said Irma in a statement in\nJakarta on Thursday (23\/4).<\/p>\n<p>According to her, figures aspiring to become presidential or\nvice-presidential candidates must first join as political party cadres\nif they wish to receive support. This way, those figures would have\nmoral responsibility towards their party.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, she suggested that there should be cadre development for\nprospective general chairmen of political parties. However, she assessed\nthat the proposal for general chairmen to serve only two terms would\nspark debate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, it is best to have cadre development so that if something\nhappens to the general chairman, the party can still survive,\u201d she\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, NasDem Party Secretary General Hermawi Taslim stated that\nhis party already has a cadre system through the NasDem Academy of\nNational Defence (ABN). Every year, he said, NasDem conducts tiered\ncadre development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerhaps NasDem is one of the leading parties because from the\nbeginning it has had the Academy of National Defence (ABN), which is the\ncentral crucible,\u201d said Hermawi.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the KPK recommended revisions to Article 29 of the\nPolitical Parties Law (UU Parpol), for example, adding to Article 29\nparagraph (1) letter a that political party members consist of young,\nintermediate, and senior members.<\/p>\n<p>Then, regulate the requirements for cadres who become prospective\nmembers of the DPR or DPRD, for instance, prospective DPR members are\nsenior party cadres. Meanwhile, prospective provincial DPRD members are\nintermediate cadres.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, requirements for presidential and vice-presidential\ncandidates or head and deputy head of regional candidates, besides being\ndemocratic and open, need to include a clause that they come from the\nparty cadre system.<\/p>\n<p>The KPK also proposed amending Article 29 of the UU Parpol to\nregulate the minimum time requirement for joining a political party\nbefore being nominated in general elections.<\/p>",
