The Indonesian Parliament has adopted a new Legislative Election Law. The Political Party Bill was passed last December, 2008, The threshold is now set on 2, 5 percent, which is a step forward in comparison to the previous law. The previous law stated an ‘indirect threshold’ which allowed parties with less than 2, 5 percent of the votes to enter the Parliament, yet they were not allowed to run in following elections and thus to re-enter the Parliament. This led to a proliferation of parties and a fragmentation of the political landscape. The new Election Law puts an end to this political practice.
If the composition of the voting result is the same in the couple of weeks, the composition of the leading party was changing, if in the last 2004 Golkar Party was leading as the number one party which get 24.480.757 voters ( (21,58%), follow by PDI Perjuangan 21.026.629 (18,53%), PKB Party (10,57%), and PPP Party (8,15%), but in the 2009 house of representative election Democratic Party will lead the count, follow by both, Golkar Party or PDIP. Two newly party, Gerindra and Hanura also will joint to the party which will pass the ‘threshold’ of 2, 5% which allow both Gerindra and Hanura in the next Indonesian house of representative election.
