The League of Supporters of Indonesian Independence^[a] (Indonesian: Ikatan Pendukung Kemerdekaan Indonesia, IPKI) was a right-wing nationalist political party in Indonesia established by former Army head General Abdul Haris Nasution as a vehicle for the Indonesian Army to enter the realm of politics. It was influential in persuading President Sukarno to introduce Guided Democracy in Indonesia and return to the 1945 Constitution.
