Leaders of parliamentary political parties hold hands after gathering in the Early Years Political Gathering at the Dharmawangsa Hotel, South Jakarta, Sunday (8/1/2023).

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – The opposition of eight political parties that hold seats in the House of Representatives toward the implementation of a closed-list proportional electoral system in the 2024 elections illustrates that political party relations are still very dynamic. Both pro-government and opposition parties united over their shared opinion that a closed-list system is disadvantageous.

“If it decides the life or death of a party, then all political parties can come to an agreement because it concerns the party’s existence, the need to survive in parliament and receive as many votes as possible,” said Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) politics and social change head, Arya Fernandes, on Sunday (8/1/2023).
