Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the National Awakening Party (PKB) obtained 13.57 million votes (9.69%) of the total national valid votes in the 2019 General Election.

With this achievement, PKB secured 58 seats (10.09%) out of a total of 575 seats in the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) for the 2019-2024 period.

However, both the percentage of votes and the number of DPR seats obtained by PKB did not meet the presidential threshold requirement as mandated by the General Election Law.

Therefore, PKB must form a coalition with other parties to nominate a presidential candidate in the 2024 General Election.

Article 222 of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning the General Election states: "Presidential candidates are nominated by a Political Party or a Coalition of Political Parties participating in the General Election that meets the requirements of obtaining at least 20% (twenty percent) of the total number of DPR seats or obtaining 25% (twenty-five percent) of the national valid votes in the previous DPR General Election."

This means that every political party or coalition of political parties intending to nominate a presidential/vice-presidential candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election must fulfill one of the above-mentioned requirements. They must obtain a minimum of 25% of the national valid votes or a minimum of 20% of the total DPR RI seats.

This presidential threshold has been opposed by many, especially smaller parties. They argue that the presidential threshold system only benefits larger parties.

Various parties have previously filed judicial reviews against Article 222 of the General Election Law. However, these petitions have always been rejected by the Constitutional Court.
