Golkar Party 2024 (ANTARA) Campaign

JAKARTA - The Golkar Party is referred to as an all-out political party in supporting President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) programs.

The concrete evidence can be seen in the previous presidential elections, namely the 2014 and 2019 presidential elections and this year.

The Policy Manager and Popular Center researcher, Dimas Ramadhan, assesses Golkar as the party with the most totality in supporting President Joko Widodo or Jokowi's program.

"This goal since 2014, since joining Jokowi's cabinet, it has been proven that all out, Jokowi's support agenda in the cabinet, parliament, and elections. In the 2019 election, Golkar is almost the same as all out with PDIP to win Jokowi for the second period," said the Policy Manager and Popular Research Center, Dimas Ramadhan, in Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, February 21.

This support, he added, was increasingly seen in the 2024 presidential election when Jokowi was not in the PDIP camp, Golkar continued to support Jokowi by entering the Prabowo-Gibran Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM).

The narrative echoed by Golkar in the 2024 presidential election is also about continuing the ongoing government program.

This, according to Dimas, is in line with Prabowo-Gibran's vision and mission which aims to continue the legacy of Jokowi's program.

No wonder then, he revealed, the Golkar vote outperformed the Gerinda Party in several regions.

"Jokowi wants the agenda to change further, and then Golkar all out of support. Then it can be an electoral blessing from the results of hard work and that's why it's no wonder the Golkar Party's voice is bigger than that of Gerindra, which has Prabowo," he said.

Dimas also assessed that the cooperation between Golkar and Gerindra in KIM was the right combination in winning Prabowo-Gibran.
