The Independent Voice of the Acehnese Party (Indonesian: Partai Suara Independen Rakyat Aceh, SIRA) is a regional political party in Indonesia. The party's initials, SIRA originally stood for the Information Center for a Referendum on Aceh, which was established in 1999, but the organization assumed its current name for the 2009 elections. The party's first chairman was the then deputy governor of Aceh.[1][2]
It contested the 2009 elections in the province of Aceh, where it was seen as the main challenger for the Aceh Party. However, the party won only 38,157 votes, or 1.78% of the Aceh turnout. It failed to qualify for the 2014 elections.[3][4] In the 2019 elections, it qualified and won a single seat in the Aceh provincial legislature.[5]
