Sumatran voice – PDI Perjuangan gives full trust to the Constitutional Court regarding the closed or open propositional electoral system lawsuit.
This was said by the Secretary General (Secretary General) of PDI Perjuangan Hasto Kristiyanto, who launched Antara Tuesday (7/3/2023).
“We trust the decision of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is independent in making its decision, it cannot come into practical interest,” explained Hasto.
He admitted that the MK panel of judges must have a statesmanship spirit in making decisions, bearing in mind that election participants based on the 1945 Constitution are political parties, not individuals.

The reason is that individual persons have been opened through the Presidential Election as well as the Regional Representative Council or DPD route.
“If a political party is a path of collective interests, then the party will be firm on its ideology and identity platform in accordance with the party’s culture,” he said.
He also mentioned the matter of closed proportions. For PDI-P, of course, talking about the interests of the nation and the state. Whereas to become a legislature, its functions are legislation, budget, oversight, and percentage.
All members of the council are committed to people’s problems through political decisions and also build designs for the future. Meanwhile, electoral democracy is based on open proportionality, he said, with a high individual base.
“While we work together to eradicate nepotism, on the other hand political parties get seats only from a few families of officials, or those who are popular, and instead forget about the internal process of regeneration within their party,” he said.
For example, when a disaster occurs, all of them come to show that they have done something, but they don’t look for the root cause of the problem in dealing with the earthquake, although this is only an example. In fact, the task of the party is very important for the future of the nation.

“That’s what has been addressed. Even though PDI-P seems to be going against the grain, we believe closed proportionality is the answer for electoral political parties who like to hijack cadres and promote other cadres,” he hoped.
This makes political parties disagree with closed proportions. He invited political parties to restore party marwah in recruiting political education and leadership regeneration. Although on the contrary closed proportional also has the weakness of elitist decisions.
“For this reason, the party must be responsible for placing its cadres in the number one, two and three rankings. This must be announced to the public as electability and to ensure that the democratic process within the party runs well,” he said.
