JAKARTA - Chairman of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto, responded to the news that a reshuffle or cabinet reshuffle would be carried out by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to coincide with Wednesday Pon today. Airlangga joked that Wednesday Pon was the day of the Golkar meeting with NasDem at the Golkar Party DPP Office, Jalan Anggrek Nelly Murni, West Jakarta. "First today, Wednesday Pon. Now Wednesday Pon has a Golkar meeting with NasDem thank you," said Airlangga with a laugh. It is known that the General Chair of the NasDem Party, Surya Paloh, today visited the Golkar Party's DPP Office to hold a meeting with Airlangga. Airlangga said today's meeting was a gathering. "Of course this is a follow-up visit after the Golkar Party came to the NasDem Office. So this is the first time the NasDem Party has visited the Golkar office after Covid," he explained. However, Airlangga was reluctant to reveal things that would be discussed in his meeting with Surya Paloh this afternoon. He only confirmed that the two would discuss the relationship between Golkar and NasDem. However, he did not specify whether the relationship was a coalition or something else. "Of course it is related to the position of the Golkar Party and NasDem. Both of them are silahturahmi continuing. Because most of the NasDem Party are alumni of the Golkar Party," said Airlangga.
