Indonesia Decides

Self-styled youth party the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) won more votes in its race for seats in the House of Representatives than it did in its electoral debut in 2019, according to preliminary results from several pollsters on Wednesday.

The PSI had garnered 2.6 percent of the vote in a quick count by the research arm of Kompas daily as of 9 p.m., when the pollster had accounted for 50 percent of its vote samples from 2,000 polling stations.

Another quick count by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) showed the PSI at 2.7 percent in its quick count as of 8.30 p.m., when it had accounted for 62.5 percent of vote samples from 2,000 polling stations.

Pollster Lembaga Survei Indonesia (LSI), meanwhile, gave the highest estimate for the PSI’s standing in the legislative race, projecting the party winning 2.94 percent of the vote based on its quick count estimate at 8.30 p.m., when it had accounted for 27 percent of its vote sample.

The results are higher than the PSI’s vote in 2019, when it gained 1.89 percent in the official results from the General Elections Commission (KPU).

However, a political party needs to gain at least 4 percent of the total vote to be able to take seats in the House as required by the 2017 General Elections Law.
