Chances of New Parties

The presence of a new party has not yet attracted the hearts of voters, perhaps because the party is not actually capable of showing what is new from them

Ahead of the 2024 General Election, a number of new political parties have emerged. There are the Gelora Party, the Ummat Party, the Masyumi Reborn Party, the Indonesian People\'s Da\'wah Party, the Prosperous People\'s Party and maybe many more.

Assuming these parties were founded to contest in elections and to gain seats in the legislative bodies, the question is: What are their chances? The challenges these new parties will have to face in the 2024 election will be even more difficult. Usually, there are two challenges. First, the rules make it tough for parties to qualify to contest in elections. The second is the need for parties to have a sufficient combination of a strong leading figure, a good organizational base and adequate logistics. Now, there is a third challenge, namely the tendency of the party system to stabilize.
