It was formed in 1996 as a split from the Indonesian Democracy Party (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. [link]
In the 2004 presidential election, the party nominated Megawati as the presidential candidate and Hasyim Muzhadi as the vice presidential candidate.
The First PDI-P Congress was held in Semarang, Central Java on 2000.
Second PDI-P Congress
On March 28, 2005, the Second PDI-P Congress was held in Sanur, Bali, in the wake of some party members asking for reformation inside the party and call themselves "Reform PDI-P Movement". The congress ended on March 31, two days faster than scheduled, with Megawati Soekarnoputri being chosen again as the Chairman for 2005-2010 and other newly-chosen party members. Guruh Sukarnoputra, Megawati's younger brother, was chosen as the Leader in charge of Education and Culture.
