Indonesian Solidarity Party
The Indonesian Solidarity Party (Indonesian: Partai Solidaritas Indonesia, PSI) is a political party in Indonesia that focuses on women's rights, pluralism, and Indonesian youth. It is led by Kaesang Pangarep who is the youngest son of former Indonesian President Joko Widodo. He joined the party on 23 September 2023 and became the general chairman on 25 September 2023.
PSI endorsed incumbent President Joko Widodo for the 2019 election. In the 2024 general election, PSI won only about 3% of the national vote and would therefore not be represented in the national parliament.
The party's inception began with a chat at a café in South Jakarta in late 2014. The meeting was attended by Raja Juli Antoni, a former television presenter, Grace Natalie, and Isyana Bagoes Oka, as well as two other young people who were also present. The meeting was held due to the phenomenon of Joko Widodo's election as president in the 2014 presidential election. During the meeting, the issue of political party reform was discussed, resulting in the desire to establish a new political party. Some of the initiators knew each other and had the same perspective on the current political situation.
The party was established on 16 November 2014 in accordance with Notarial Deed Widyatmoko, S.H. Number 14 of 2014. Later on the same date, the PSI Central Leadership Council (DPP PSI) officially submitted a registration letter as a political party. Subsequently, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights officially requested the DPP PSI to complete the requirements for the formation of a political party in accordance with Law No. 2/2011 on Political Parties.
All PSI officials at all levels of leadership then completed the requirements for the formation of this party to ensure PSI passed the Ministry of Law and Human Rights verification which was expected to take place around mid-2016. In the end, it was officially declared a legal entity after passing the Ministry of Law and Human Rights verification on 7 October 2016. The party is the only new party to pass the legal entity selection after the 2014 presidential election. In February 2018, the General Elections Commission announced that PSI was eligible to contest the 2019 general election with the ballot number of 11.
After being officially declared a political party participating in the 2019 elections, PSI immediately made a breakthrough in the selection of legislative candidates. The selection process of legislative candidates was held transparently, openly, and broadcast live on all PSI's social media. The aim is for the public to know and participate in assessing who the legislative candidates are who will represent their voices in the People's Representative Council (DPR-RI) and the Provincial and Regency/City DPRDs.
As many as 45 percent of PSI's candidates in the 2019 elections were women, the highest among other parties and above the minimum female representation requirement of 30 percent. PSI did not set a specific target for the number of female candidates it had field.
PSI's effort to improve the democratic system is to hold conventions to select candidates for regional heads. In the 2020 Indonesian local elections, PSI held Pilkada conventions for the cities of Surabaya and South Tangerang. The two cities were chosen because PSI has held 1 fraction there. In this open selection, PSI invited independent figures with integrity to join the selection committee. The selection in interview format was broadcast live on social media.
