Indonesian Democratic Vanguard Party
Political party in Indonesia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Indonesian Democratic Vanguard Party (Indonesian: Partai Penegak Demokrasi Indonesia, PPDI), now known as the Indonesian People's Democratic Party (Indonesian: Partai Demokrasi Rakyat Indonesia, PDRI), was a political party in Indonesia. It was a continuation of the Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI), one of the two state-approved parties during the New Order. After the PDI failed to achieve enough votes in the 1999 legislative elections to qualify for the 2004 elections, it changed its name to the Indonesian Democratic Vanguard Party (PDI Party).[1][2] In 2004 it won one seat. The party contested the 2009 legislative election, but won only 0.13 percent of the vote, less than the 2.5 percent electoral threshold, thereby losing its only seat in the People's Representative Council.[3][4][5][6] Following its poor result in the 2009 vote, the party joined nine other smaller parties to form the National Unity Party (Indonesian: Partai Persatuan Nasional).[7] The party also attempted to contest the 2014 elections, but failed to fulfill the criteria set by the General Elections Commission, and along with nine other parties who also failed to qualify, decided to merge into the People's Conscience Party (Hanura).[8]
