JAKARTA - General Chairperson (Ketum) of the Democratic Party, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), is targeting to win the 2020 Regional Head Election (Pilkada) by 50 percent of all five-year political contestations.

"We are targeting 40-50 percent of victories in all the regional elections that we are participating in," AHY said in Indramayu, as reported by Antara, Tuesday, December 1.

Of the 270 Pilkada 2020, Democrats participated in 250 local elections by placing 145 cadres.

Of this number, his party is targeting 40-50 percent of victories in the 2020 Pilkada which will be attended by its cadres.

"Of the 270 pilkada, we participated in 250 pilkada and from that there were 145 cadres who participated. That means, quite a lot and when there are other opportunities we will certainly be grateful to be number one or two," he said.

According to him, the target is in accordance with the survey conducted by the party during the campaign period. However, it all requires hard struggle from all parties as well as party cadres.

To encourage cadres who are advancing in the 2020 Pilkada, his party is conducting tours to several areas that have strong and weak bases.

"This Java tour shows that there is an approach because this area is a strategic area and must also be able to secure it. In addition, we are also in an area that is still fighting exciting," he said.
