The party promoted nine programs known as the 9 Ways of Justice and Prosperous People (Indonesian: 9 Jalan Rakyat Adil dan Makmur): Fair taxation, national industrialization, modern agriculture, strengthening small and medium business enterprises, clean government, progressive advancement of Indonesian peoples, upholding democracy, and gender equality.[5]
Most of the party members and officials during its declaration were PRD cadres and its affiliates.[6] The only exception is R Gautama Wiranegara, a retired major general of Indonesian Army and was a general secretary of National Counter Terrorism Agency.[7]
Due to its connection to the PRD, which was aligned to left-wing politics and had a strong socialist foundation, the party has been attacked and accused as "Neo-Communist" by Islamic far-right extremists and New-Order revivalists.[8] The accusation was dismissed by party officials.[3][4]
The party submitted a case to the Central Jakarta District Court on 8 December 2022 after the party was unable to compete in 2024 Indonesian general election, despite the court not having such power. Among the party's demands are: declaring the party is the party which aggrieved by KPU, ordered General Election Commission to award the party 500 million rupiahs as compensation and the postponement of the election.[9] In an unusual move, the court decided to fulfill all the demands of the party and ordered the General Election Commission to do so on 2 March 2023.[9] The court also ordered the General Election Commission to restart the election process from the verification again.[10] The General Election Commission submitted the appeal over the irregular decision.[11]
Supreme Court of Indonesia, stated that despite the irregularity of the decision, the judges cannot be wronged and asked to the General Election Commission to submit the appeal.[12]
