        "summary": "Golkar Party Secretary General Muhammad Sarmuji has proposed a 5 percent parliamentary threshold as an ideal figure in response to Coordinating Minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra's suggestion to align it with the number of DPR commissions. Sarmuji argues that this moderate level, slightly above the previous election's threshold, would allow parties with fewer seats to function more efficiently while maintaining opportunities for all parties. He further recommends setting the faction formation threshold at twice the number of DPR working bodies to enhance the effectiveness of Indonesia's presidential system.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Golkar Party Secretary General Muhammad Sarmuji\nhas proposed a parliamentary threshold of 5 percent as an ideal figure,\nin response to the proposal from Coordinating Minister for Law, Human\nRights, Immigration, and Correctional Services Yusril Ihza Mahendra.\nSarmuji stated that political parties with few seats in parliament would\nbe the busiest, as they would have to attend multiple meetings\nsimultaneously, including commission meetings and meetings of the\nHouse\u2019s working bodies. \u201cFor the parliamentary threshold, we propose a\nmoderate figure, namely 5 percent. Slightly above the parliamentary\nthreshold in the previous election,\u201d Sarmuji said in Jakarta on\nThursday. He added that Yusril\u2019s proposal to match the parliamentary\nthreshold with the number of DPR RI commissions would be more\nappropriate as a requirement for forming a faction, rather than the\nparliamentary threshold. If so, Sarmuji proposes that the faction\nformation threshold be set at twice the number of House working bodies\n(AKD). As is known, the number of House working bodies in the DPR\nconsists of 13 commissions plus seven bodies. According to him, a 5\npercent figure as the parliamentary threshold is quite ideal. All\npolitical parties still have the opportunity to reach that threshold,\nand it is up to the people to decide. \u201cA combination of the\nparliamentary threshold and the faction formation threshold will help\nthe presidential system of government run more effectively,\u201d said the\nChairman of the Golkar Party Faction in the DPR RI. Previously,\nCoordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and\nCorrectional Services Yusril Ihza Mahendra proposed that the number of\nDPR RI commissions be used as the threshold for political parties\nparticipating in the legislative elections to sit in parliament and form\na faction. Yusril explained that the intent behind the number of\ncommissions is that each political party must obtain at least 13 seats\nin the DPR RI, as there are currently 13 commissions in the DPR RI. \u201cFor\nexample, the reference is actually how many commissions there are in the\nDPR. That is now regulated in the standing orders, it should be\nregulated in the law,\u201d Yusril said after attending a Technical Guidance\nevent for DPRD members in Jakarta on Wednesday (29\/4).<\/p>",
