Airlangga Hartarto Asks West Sumatra Golkar To Prepare For 2024, DPD Talks About Presidential Candidates

PADANG - The chairman of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto, asked the West Sumatran Golkar DPD to prepare to face political contestation in 2024.

"West Sumatra's Golkar must continue to prepare for the presidential election, legislative elections, and regional head elections in 2024," said Airlangga Hartarto while attending a family gathering for the West Sumatra Golkar DPD in Padang, quoted by Antara, Friday, June 25.

The big family gathering of the West Sumatra Golkar DPD was held in a limited way in Padang and some took part virtually.

Airlangga assessed that West Sumatra's Golkar has so far had strong political capital and solid cadres, but must continue to be boosted to achieve maximum results.

"Based on the results of the evaluation of the 2020 simultaneous regional elections, West Sumatra's Golkar has only won six victories from the 14 regions that held the elections," he said.

Airlangga reminded all cadres to work hard to beat other parties in West Sumatra.

In addition, he instructed all cadres in West Sumatra to play an active role in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Through this activity, I remind you that programs that are beneficial to the people must be continued, both in terms of health and economic recovery of the community," he said.

Meanwhile, the Chairperson of the West Sumatra Golkar DPD Khairunnas stated that all West Sumatra Golkar DPD cadres are ready to win the Golkar Party in the 2024 General Election.

Whether it's for the presidential election, DPR, DPRD, and regional heads ranging from governors to regents or mayors.

The West Sumatra Golkar DPD, called Khairunnas, is ready to support Airlangga Hartarto running as a presidential candidate in 2024.
