The qualification of the Berkarya Party, the Indonesian Renewal Movement Party, the United Indonesia Party and the Indonesian Solidarity Party for the 2019 General Elections is nothing out of the ordinary in a democratic country. The Constitution gives all citizens the right to assemble and associate, including to establish a political party, and these four new parties meet the requirements laid down by the General Elections Commission.
Berkarya Party, sponsored by Hutomo Mandala Putra, youngest son of former president Suharto, wants to 'revive' the New Order regime. They are targeting fans of the New Order, also voters who, disappointed with the results of reform over the past 20 years, hope the Suharto regime will return in the form of his offspring. But targeting fans of the New Order will be a problem for the Berkarya Party considering most of the voters in the 2019 elections will be youngsters who may not be familiar with the Suharto administration. Moreover, the party mission poses a danger for democracy since it aims to restore the old Suharto-style rule, which was centralized and non-participatory.
