JAKARTA - Chairman of the Golkar Party's Central Executive Board (DPP) Dave Laksono said West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil had become a cadre of the Golkar Party. Ridwan Kamil entered the party bearing the banyan symbol through the 1957 Gotong Royong Multipurpose Organization (Kosgoro).
"He has entered Golkar through Kosgoro," said Dave who is also the General Chair of the Kosgoro Collective Central Executive to reporters in Jakarta, Friday, January 13.
Dave said the official announcement of the man who is familiarly called Kang Emil to join the Golkar Party will be made by the General Chairperson of the Golkar Party DPP Airlangga Hartarto.
"It will be announced in due course by the chairman," he said.
Previously, Airlangga Hartarto said Ridwan Kamil had joined one of the founding organizations of the Golkar Party, Kosgoro 1957.
According to Airlangga, Ridwan Kamil officially became a cadre of the Golkar Party, just waiting for the time.
"We are still waiting, we have entered Kosgoro, we just need to enter Golkar," said Airlangga when met at the Presidential Palace complex, Monday, December 19.
Airlangga explained that his party was still waiting for the official declaration of the former Mayor of Bandung as a Golkar cadre and his position in the 2024 General Election.
"We'll just have to wait. The potential is there," he said, quoted by Antara.
The discourse of Kang Emil becoming a cadre of the Golkar Party has strengthened after his presence at the Golkar Party's anniversary at the end of last October.
Kang Emil is one of the figures whose names often appear in the ranks of the results of the 2024 presidential candidate survey. Until now, Kang Emil has not chosen the vehicles of political parties towards the 2024 election.
