The party was founded on 8 October 2014 and declared on 7 February 2015 by media tycoon Hary Tanoesoedibjo, owner of the MNC Group and business partner of former US President Donald Trump.
[3] In February 2013, he announced he would launch a mass organization called Perindo (United Indonesia), which he hoped would eventually become a political party.
[6] Perindo was allied with former general Prabowo Subianto's Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra), which is part of the Red and White Coalition (KMP) that stands in opposition to President Joko Widodo.
[9] In 2017, Perindo declared its support for Anies Baswedan and Sandiaga Uno, who were victorious in the 19 April runoff Jakarta gubernatorial election, defeating Basuki Tjahaja Purnama.
[12] For the 2024 legislative election, the party once more failed to qualify for the national House of Representatives, though it claimed to have won seats in the local legislatures of around 60 percent of Indonesia's 514 regencies and cities.
The party's official vision is to make Indonesia a progressive, united, fair, affluent, prosperous, sovereign, dignified and cultured nation.
