"The Democrat Party will not return to the old period. In the last election, the system had been proven to be working well. So we will maintain it," he said when opening a model market here on Tuesday.
He noted that the open proportional system was more accommodating to the hopes of the voters. Under this system, candidates for the legislature would also be able to compete more openly, he added.
Further, he said, political parties are given the freedom to present their best members, while those who are elected will be the candidates who actually receive the largest number of votes, rather than because of their numbers on the party list.
He said the open proportional system was, therefore, considered to be able to accommodate the demand for the implementation of public sovereignty and assure the effectiveness of the representation of people who are spread unequally throughout various regions of the country.(IGT)
