JAKARTA - Twenty-four new political parties in Indonesia meet qualifications as legal entities after they have passed the verification process held by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, local English newspaper the Jakarta Post reported on Saturday. "Only 24 of the 115 registered parties eventually fulfilled all the administrative requirements, including having offices in at least 20 provinces," Aidir Amin Daud, the ministry's director of public institutions said.
Most of the 24 newly legalized parties are nationalist-based, including the People Conscience Party led by former armed forces chief Wiranto, a losing presidential candidate in 2004. At least three parties - the Star and Crescent Party, the Democrat Christianity Party and the People Voices Party - are religious-oriented.
The Ministry of Law and Human Rights said it took about six months to check that the 24 new parties meet all the administrative requirements, such as having unique logos and names, to ensure no duplication occurred. A total of 58 political parties, including new ones, have to register with the General Elections Commission (KPU) starting Monday for verification.
