Political party in Indonesia


The Pioneers' Party (Indonesian: Partai Pelopor) was a political party in Indonesia. It was founded in 2002 and was initially led by Rachmawati Sukarnoputri, a daughter of Indonesia's first president, Sukarno, and sister of former Indonesian president Megawati Sukarnoputri.[1] It contested the 2009 election, but received only 0.3 percent of the vote, well below the threshold of 2.5% of the political votes, and was awarded no seats in the People's Representative Council.[2] Following its poor result in the 2009 election, the party joined nine other smaller parties to form the National Unity Party (Indonesian: Partai Persatuan Nasional).[3]
