Golkar Targets 60 Percent Of Victory In The 2024 Pilkada
JAKARTA - The Golkar Party set a target of winning 60% of the 545 regions that will hold the 2024 Pilkada on 27 November 2024. This was revealed by the chairman of the Golkar Party's DPP for Strategic Raising, Erwin Aksa. "We have a target of 60%, but we need to change the campaign strategy. This survey is important to find out who is popular and has a strong spirit, logistics, and network," he said in his statement, Sunday, April 15. Erwin said that Golkar has assigned a number of provincial and district/city DPD heads to advance in the 2024 Pilleg. Those who have succeeded in obtaining seats will be included as candidates for regional heads. This strategy is considered successful because of the large number of candidates running as governors, regents, and mayors of the Golkar Party. "One of the successes of Golkar is the number of candidates that are advanced as regional heads. This is a long-term strategy for the Pilleg and the 2029 presidential election," said Erwin.Pilkada this time becomes important for the Golkar Party, especially to strengthen its position in strategic areas, such as DKI Jakarta, Banten, and West Java which have a large voter base. "We see this potential as a capital for the Pilleg and the 2029 presidential election," said Erwin. Some potential cadres promoted by Golkar, among others Airin Rachmi Diany in Banten, Ridwan Kamil in West Java, Khofifah Indar Parawansa in East Java, as well as other cadres in Jakarta. "We hope that these Golkar cadres can win the election and open opportunities for the 2029 Pileg," he added. Erwin emphasized the importance of several indicators in determining recommendations for cadres who will advance as candidates, among others, popularity, great intentions, and funding logistics.
