History
editThe Indonesian People's Wave Party or Gelora was founded on October 28, 2019 with the idea and ideals of making Indonesia a power in the top five of the world. This idea was first conveyed by Anis Matta in his speech "New Directions for Indonesia" at the KAMMI Alumni Family Work Conference in Jakarta, 3 February 2018.[3] This speech continues the idea of "Indonesia's Third Wave" which Anis wrote in 2014.
Next, the process of establishing a Party began by forming a Preparatory Team for the Formation of a New Party led by Mahfudz Siddiq. Apart from officially having a legal entity, currently the Gelora Indonesia Party has management in 34 DPWs at the provincial level, 445 DPDs at the district & city level, and 4,395 DPCs at the sub-district level.[4]
In the 2024 legislative election, the party failed to win enough votes to qualify for the national House of Representatives. The party claimed that over 70 of its candidates were elected to seats in city and regency DPRD across the country,[5] and it also won one seat in the provincial DPRD of Highland Papua.[6]
Ideology
editAnis Matta described the party's ideology as "Pancasila with Islamic identity", and stated that Gelora is not "PKS-Perjuangan" (Prosperous Justice Party-Struggle).[7]
