        "summary": "Yusril Ihza Mahendra, the Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections, has proposed setting the parliamentary threshold for political parties at 13 seats in the DPR, mirroring the number of existing DPR commissions, to ensure parties can form factions without wasting votes. This approach would allow smaller parties to enter parliament by achieving the minimum seats individually or through coalitions, promoting a fairer proportional representation system. He advocates revising the MD3 Law to incorporate this threshold as a balanced solution to ongoing debates on electoral barriers.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights,\nImmigration, and Corrections Yusril Ihza Mahendra has proposed using the\nnumber of commissions in the DPR RI as the basis for the threshold for\npolitical parties participating in legislative elections to enter\nparliament and form factions.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that under this scheme, each party would need to secure\nat least 13 seats in the DPR RI. This figure follows the current number\nof DPR commissions, which stands at 13.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, the reference should actually be how many commissions\nthere are in the DPR. That is currently regulated in the standing\norders, but it should be regulated in the law,\u201d Yusril said in Cawang,\nEast Jakarta, on Wednesday (29\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>They could form coalitions totalling at least 13 seats, or join the\nfaction of a larger party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this way, no votes are lost, and it is fair enough for all of\nus,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The proportional system determines the allocation of seats in\nparliament to political parties based on the percentage of votes\nobtained.<\/p>\n<p>The proportional system, he said, is fundamentally designed to\naccommodate all voter voices.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, he is pushing for a revision of the Law on the MPR, DPR,\nDPD, and DPRD (MD3) in the hope that it will serve as the basis for\ndetermining the agreed threshold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I also hope that this will emerge as a middle-ground solution to\naddress the issue of what the minimum threshold should be, how we\ndetermine the number, and how we then form factions in the DPR,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>",
