About the election
Short description of the context and results of the election.
The opposition Indonesian Democratic Party - Struggle (PDI-P) led by former President Megawati Sukarnoputri came in first, taking 109 of the 560 seats at stake, though it failed to meet the conditions needed to be able to put forward a candidate on its own to the presidential elections due on 9 July (see note). Golkar, formerly led by the long-serving former President Suharto, remained the second largest party with 91 seats, and Gerindra (meaning "Great Indonesia Movement"), which endorsed former general Prabowo Subianto as its presidential candidate, took 73 seats. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's Democratic Party (Partai Demokrat, PD) - the largest force in the outgoing legislature - finished fourth with 61 seats, reportedly damaged by several graft scandals. Having served two presidential terms, President Yudhoyono is constitutionally barred from seeking a new term.
Five Islamic-based parties took nearly 30 per cent of vote altogether, up from 24 per cent scored in 2009. Four of them surpassed the 3.5-per-cent threshold to win parliamentary representation: the National Awakening Party (PKB), the National Mandate Party (PAN), the United Development Party (PPP) and the People's Conscience Party (Hanura).
PDI-P's expected presidential candidate, Jakarta governor Mr. Joko Widodo, said he would reduce the country's deficit by lowering fuel subsidies over the next few years. Golkar's leader Aburizal Bakrie, a mining and business tycoon, supported the subsidies and their eventual increase. Mr. Prabowo (Gerindra) promised to ensure that the subsidies be only used by the poor and lower middle class. After the parliamentary elections, the PKB and the National Democrat (NasDem), a new party which finished in eighth position with 35 seats, announced their support for Mr. Widodo.
The 2014 elections were the first to be held since the adoption of Law 8/2012, which foresees that at least 1 in every 3 candidates included on a political party list should be a woman. Political parties that do not meet the requirement are disqualified from submitting a list in the electoral district where the quota is not met.
Note:
A party must win 25 per cent of the national vote or 20 per cent of the 560 seats in parliament to be able to submit a candidate for the presidency.
