The Concern for the Nation Functional Party (Indonesian: Partai Karya Peduli Bangsa) is a right-wing reactionary political party in Indonesia. The party was established by former members of the Golkar Party who were dissatisfied with Golkar's abandonment of former president Suharto including former minister Hartono and Suharto's daughter Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana. Suharto himself approved the party name.[2]
In the 2004 legislative election, the party won 2.1% of the popular vote and 2 out of 500 seats in the Regional Representatives Council. In the 2009 legislative election, the party won only 1.4 percent of the votes, less than the 2.5 percent electoral threshold, meaning it lost both seats in the council, as well as receiving no seats in the People's Representative Council.[3][4][5][6]
