\u201cThis political commitment without dowries is crucial to providing\nequal opportunities for the younger generation and potential cadres from\nvarious backgrounds to emerge as leaders, without being held hostage by\nhigh transactional political costs,\u201d Mujab stated in a written statement\nin Jakarta on Saturday.<\/p>\n
This was conveyed during the PDI Perceptual Sharing Experiences\nsession at the 9th CALD Party Management Workshop international\nconference in Yogyakarta, Saturday (5\/9).<\/p>\n
The event opened with an in-depth presentation regarding the\nimportance of political party institutionalisation as the primary\nfortress in maintaining democratic resilience in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n
Mujab also revealed the importance of political party consistency in\ntransforming into structured, transparent, and meritocracy-based public\ninstitutions.<\/p>\n
\u201cA healthy democracy requires strong and tested party\ninstitutionalisation. PDI Perjuangan is committed to building an\norganisation that does not rely solely on figures, but on a tiered\nregeneration system through the Party School, the instilling of Trisakti\nideology, and the values of Marhaenism,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mujab highlighted the organisational governance renewal steps taken\nby PDI Perjuangan, where the party has become a pioneer in Indonesia in\napplying international management standardisation based on ISO\ncertification, as well as psychometric assessments to select candidates\nfor leadership and regional heads.<\/p>\n
