JAKARTA - Entrepreneur and member of the Advisory Council of the Golkar Party Jusuf Hamka or who is familiarly called Babah Alun visited the Golkar Party DPP office in Slipi, West Jakarta, to submit a letter of resignation from the Golkar Party management.

"I'll hand over the letter first, we'll talk (interview) later," said Babah Alun as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, August 12.

Babah Alun admitted that he would submit the letter to the Secretary General of the Golkar Party.

Babah Alun immediately entered the elevator to go up to the top floor of the building.

Previously, Babah Alun said he had resigned from the management of the Golkar Party and nominated regional heads in the 2024 Pilkada.

"That's right, that's right," said Babah Alun when contacted from Jakarta, Sunday.

Babah Alun said his resignation was because according to him politics was too harsh and rude.

"It's inappropriate for my character, inappropriate, and I see with Airlangga stepping down this is a momentum because Airlangga is backing down there must be one big reason, which we don't know. However, for me, yes I quite know and I quite understand, I don't want to be rude and I don't want to play hard," he explained.

However, he denied that the momentum for his resignation was due to Airlangga's resignation as General Chair of the Golkar Party.

"My momentum is at the same time. However, if the intention is to withdraw, it will start from last July, but it's just the momentum," he said.
