3 November 1945 declaration
3 November 1945 declaration is an Indonesian declaration which encouraged the formation of political parties as part of democracy.[1] This declaration was released to prepare for the implementation of elections.[1] This declaration can be referred to as the pioneering act of democracy in Indonesia.[1] With this declaration, the government hoped that political parties could be formed before the legislative election in January 1946.[1] This declaration legitimized the political parties that had formed since the Dutch and Japanese periods and also encouraged the continued birth of new political parties.[1][2] However, the stabilization of democracy in Indonesia through the plan for the 1946 election could not be realized.[1] This is because the Indonesian people were focused on the the struggle for independence as a result of the arrival of the Allied military forces.[1] At that time, the election was no longer a priority.[1]
