	Indonesian Democratic Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The PNI, the largest of the PDI's five parties, and the legatee of Sukarno, had its base in East and Central Java.
		Even more heterogeneous than the United Development Party (PPP), the PDI, with no common ideological link other than the commitment to the Pancasila as its sole principle, was faction-ridden and riven with personality disputes, held together only by direct government intervention into its internal affairs.
		With the gradual public rehabilitation of the late President Sukarno as an " Independence Proclamation Hero " and the father of the Pancasila, the PDI was not reluctant to trade upon the Sukarnoist heritage of its component party, the PNI.

		After decades of authoritarian rule, the Indonesian people have progressed from the stifling political system of President Suharto's New Order regime and are moving toward a more open and democratic government even in the face of such challenges as ethnic tension, terrorism, regional separatist movements and factional strife in the government.
		Indonesian election law dictates that in order to win, a ticket must receive a majority of the vote with at least 20% of votes coming from half of the Indonesian provinces.
		Indonesia's democratic transition has been rapid and sometimes turbulent; and the International Republican Institute (IRI) has worked to support the change to popular representation, strengthen the country's electoral system and train political parties to become permanent fixtures of a democratic Indonesia.

	Australian Parliamentary Library - Research Note 00 1996-97
		Elections for the Indonesian parliament on 29 May 1997 produced the predicted overwhelming victory for the officially-sponsored Golkar party, which received over 74 per cent of votes cast, an increase from the 68 per cent it won in the elections of 1992.
		The Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI) was electorally decimated, following a split caused by government intervention to overturn the previous leadership headed by Megawati Sukarnoputri, daughter of Indonesia's first President, Sukarno.
		While such reports suggest there were individual instances of attempted vote-rigging, the fact that the vote for the 'opposition' parties changed so dramatically from the last election can be seen as evidence that most people were able to cast their vote freely and the outcome was not predetermined.

		This party is a reincarnation of the Indonesian Democratic Party led by Soerjadi.
		In conformity with the new Political Parties and Election Laws, the enforced change is linked to PDI's failure to achieve the limit for the minimum total of votes in the 1999 election, where it only pulled in 0.62 percent or two seats in the legislature.

		Confidence in democratic politics has been undermined by politicians themselves and "many ordinary people look through rose-tinted spectacles to the Suharto era as a time of social peace and relative prosperity", the International Crisis Group said in a December report.
		Secular and nationalist parties like Golkar and PDI-P are again expected to claim the lion's share of the vote.
		Five parties with mainly Islamic agendas have softened their message and shied away from the issue of introducing sharia (Islamic law) -- apparently aware that most of the 147 million voters are more interested in issues like unemployment and fighting graft.

		With the country's first direct presidential elections due on July 5, she will now have to try to rebuild her party while placating those candidates who paid party officials to get good positions on PDIP tickets and have failed to be elected.
		Although the percentages each party has received are now clear, the numbers of seats each party holds in national provincial and state legislatures will be confirmed only when official votes are declared in three weeks.
