Justice and Unity Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Justice and Unity Party (Partai Keadilan dan Persatuan/PKP) is a political party in Indonesia.

The party was founded in December 1998 as a split from the Golkar party. According to PKP leaders, particularly retired General Edi Sudrajat, PKP's leader, Golkar was insufficiently cooperative with reform movements then active. The PKP also argued that Golkar's attitude toward Pancasila and the original 1945 constitution threatened the unity of Indonesia.[1]

In the 2004 legislative elections, the party won 1.3% of the popular vote and 1 out of 500 seats.
