JAKARTA - General Chairperson of the Golkar Party, Bahlil Lahadalia, alluded to the discussion regarding resigning from leadership in political parties. According to him, if a party leader does not succeed in increasing the number of parliamentary seats in the upcoming 2029 General Election, then he should voluntarily resign from office.
"If our party seats go up, we can have a long dream but if the seats don't go up, we don't have to dream. We don't have to just back down. That's for sure. We have to be fair," Bahlil said in his speech at the SOKSI National Conference at the Bidakara Hotel, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 20.
However, on the other hand, if you record a good performance, then a party leader must survive to strengthen the party's existence on the political stage. "But if the work is good, don't play games, so that we really strengthen the party," he said.
He considered that if he as the highest holder of the position in the Golkar Party could increase the number of seats from 102 DPR seats obtained by Golkar in the 2024-2029 period, then his leadership would be successful.
"If the general chairman of his party seat from 102 goes up, ah, it's a success to take care of it. You can dream of it tomorrow, so that's what it is," he said.
Therefore, the presence of SOKSI as one of the founding organizations of Golkar is considered important to achieve this success.
He considered, in addition to overseeing and supporting the sustainability of the government of President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, SOKSI was also considered to play an important role in raising party seats.
"That's everywhere I say that. We don't have to think too far, the others will be later. Just take the party seat first," he concluded.

Furthermore, Bahlil emphasized that he did not pursue the position of general chairman of Golkar for personal gain. He said that his job as general chairman of Golkar was not to please all cadres, but to focus on carrying out the party's vision openly and firmly.
"My job is not to satisfy all Golkar cadres. That's just fair. If we are open players, there are never closed players," said Bahlil.
