The General Election Commission (KPU) said on Monday that 12 political parties have failed to qualify for the 2014 general election because they have not yet submitted the necessary documents required by the commission.

"Of the 46 political parties that registered, 12 failed to become eligible election participants," KPU Chairman Husni Kamil Manik said, as quoted by Antara.

The 12 parties that failed to complete the 17 types of documents required by the commission include the Indonesian Youth Party (PPI), the Prosperous Indonesia Party (PIS), the National Unifying Party (PPB), the Pelopor Party, Republikku Indonesia, the Islam Party, the People's Action Party (PAR), the Merdeka Party, the Patriot Party, the National Front Party (Barnas), the Indonesian United Ummah Party and the New Indonesia Party (PIB).

But 34 parties have submitted the necessary 17 documents, and Husni said those parties must file additional documents by Sept. 29, or be disqualified from the election.

Husni also added that political parties without the required 30 percent of female membership a the district and provincial levels would automatically disqualified.
