Threshold General Election

Following the legislative elections held on Wednesday,

the newcomer Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI),

championed by many young urban middle class voters,

it seems set to fall short of the electoral threshold necessary to obtain seats in the House of Representatives.

PSI  billed itself as a party for millennials and has a strong social media presence,

it has gained about 2 percent of the vote.

The 2017 General Election Law stipulates that

parties must get at least 4 percent of the vote nationally to get into the House.

"We have fought as hard as we could.

We will not blame anyone.

Our members, PSI executives, our legislative candidates,

They have worked hard day and night to convince the people.

"But this is the people's decision through the mechanism of democracy

that we have to accept and respect."

She said the party had no regrets and thanked all those

who had contributed money and time to the party's efforts.
