The New Indonesia Party of Struggle (Indonesian: Partai Perjuangan Indonesia Baru) is a political party in Indonesia. It was established as the New Indonesia Alliance Party (Partai Perhimpunan Indonesia Baru) by the economist Dr.Kartini Sjahrir and was initially made up of university students, middle-class people and the leaders of several political parties. In a speech on 23 September 2002, Sjahrir said he wanted to establish the party because he was frustrated and angry with the political situation dominated by corruption and the craving for power[1].
At the last legislative elections, 5 April 2004, the party won 0.6% of the popular vote and no seats in the People's Representative Council. It is to contest the 2009 elections under the new name New Indonesia Party of Struggle[2].
Party chairman Dr. Syahrir died in Singapore on 28 July 2007 [3]
