As for the electoral system, the former chairman of the Golkar Party is offering systems with emphasis on regional election districts. "We have 77 electoral districts are still too few for an electoral district can be represented by three to 12 members of the House. By increasing the constituency, the party believed to be more simple. The system also will produce candidates who are closer to constituents," he said, saying members of the chosen course will provide many roles to constituents.

Akbar also suggested that the politicians do not form a new party to accommodate the legislative candidates who get the vote quota. "Not because of any provision of the parliamentary threshold of legislative candidates because political parties did not enter the House of Representatives failed to pass the threshold of parliament," said Akbar.
