History

Hary Tanoesoedibjo established Perindo Party following his disappointing forays into politics with two other parties. [2] In 2011, he joined the Nasdem Party (Partai Nasional Demokrat) of fellow media baron Surya Paloh, but he quit the party in January 2013 after a falling out with Paloh. [3] In February 2013, he announced he would launch a mass organization called Perindo (United Indonesia), which he hoped would eventually become a political party. [4] In mid-2013 he joined the People's Conscience Party (Hati Nurani Rakyat, Hanura), which nominated him as the running mate of former military commander Wiranto for the 2014 presidential election, but the party was unable to field candidates after a poor showing in the 2014 general election. Hary left Hanura because he disagreed with its decision to support Joko Widodo in the 2014 presidential election. [5] He subsequently transformed Perindo into a full political party, launched at Jakarta International Expo convention center in Kemayoran, Jakarta on 7 February 2015. [6]

Perindo was allied with former general Prabowo Subianto's Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra), which is part of the Red and White Coalition (KMP) that stands in opposition to President Joko Widodo. [7] Hary in 2015 declared that Perindo and KMP share the same ideology "to fight for the people".

Hary has stated he may consider running for the Indonesian presidency in 2019. [8] Under Indonesia's election rules, he will need to be nominated by a party or coalition that controls at least 20% of seats in parliament or won 25% of the popular vote in the previous general election. Perindo has said it may consider filing for a judicial review if the People's Representative Council insists on maintaining this threshold. [9]

In 2017, Perindo declared its support for Anies Baswedan and Sandiaga Uno, who were victorious in the 19 April runoff Jakarta gubernatorial election, defeating Basuki Tjahaja Purnama. [10] In June 2017, Hary was investigated for intimidation after allegedly sending tax investigators looking into his company's tax returns an SMS announcing that he would "cleanse" the country of undemocratic law enforcers once he had become Indonesia's leader. [11]

For the 2019 presidential election, it declared its support for incumbent Joko Widodo. [12]
