Indonesia Democracy Party - Struggle - Definition and Overview

The Indonesian Democratic Party - Struggle (PDI-P) is a political party in Indonesia. Its ideology is based on Pancasila.

It was formed in 1996 as a split from the Indonesian Democracy Party or PDI, who had attempted to oust Megawati Sukarnoputri. She founded the PDI-P instead, and took most of the membership and support of the PDI with her. She is also the current chairperson of PDI-P.

In the 2004 legislative election, PDI-P obtained 18.5% of the total vote, down from the 33.7% it obtained during the 1999 legislative election.[1] (http://www.kpu.go.id/Sejarah/pemilu1999.shtml).
