Jakarta – An offshoot of the National Awakening Party (PKB) led by former president by Abdurrahman Wahid's daughter, Yenni Wahid, has formed a new party to participate in the 2014 elections.

"We have registered for the 2014 elections under the name of Partai Kedaulatan Bangsa Indonesia (PKBI) [the Indonesian National Sovereignty Party]," Syafrin Romas, PKBI deputy chairman, said as quoted by detik.com on Friday.

He said his party was building regional networks to pass the verification process by the Law and Human Rights Ministry that will start in August.

The new law on political parties requires parties to have offices in all 33 provinces, 75 percent of the cities and regencies in each province and 50 percent of the districts in each city and regency.

"We already have offices in 33 provinces," Syafrin claimed, adding that most of the officials of the PKBI are former PKB members who sided with Yenni.
