"I have resigned from the House of Representatives and the Democratic Party," said Tere in a press conference at the Parliamentary complex today, June 1. 

"I can't afford my best for the work. Therefore, I chose to leaving my office," she said.  

Earlier, Head of the Democratic Party faction, Nurhayati Ali Assegaf, said Tere was indeed less active in the Democratic Party.
