JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Golkar Party, Bambang Soesatyo, spoke about the presidential candidate for the 2024 presidential election. The man who is familiarly called Bamsoet confirmed that the Golkar Party will unanimously nominate Chairman Airlangga Hartarto as a presidential candidate.

"We have decided that the presidential candidate for the Golkar Party is Airlangga Hartarto," Bamsoet told reporters at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, August 2.

Bamsoet conveyed this affirmation regarding the figure of the presidential candidate that the Golkar Party will advance in the upcoming presidential election. Given that Golkar has formed a coalition with PPP and PAN.

The chairman of the MPR RI confirmed that Airlangga Hartarto's decision as a presidential candidate was final based on the National Meeting of the Golkar Party. "According to the decision of the National Committee, it is final," said Bamsoet.

However, regarding whether PPP and PAN agree if Airlangga becomes the presidential candidate from KIB, Bamsoet thinks it is Airlangga Hartarto's job to communicate it to the coalition.

"It's the general chairman's job to communicate with KIB," he said.
