JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Golkar Party, Bambang Soesatyo (Bamsoet), said that the dynamics related to the General Chairperson of Golkar did not interfere with the nomination of regional heads whose parties participated in the 2024 Pilkada.

"I guarantee that it will not be disturbed, so we have decided that the Acting Ketum Golkar must immediately carry out the National Conference on 20-21 (August), so that there is enough time for areas that have not received signatures from the definitive chairman to be carried out immediately," said Bamsoet at the Presidential Palace. Jakarta reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, August 14.

Bamsoet said the definitive general chairman will have rights related to the nomination of regional heads, but he believes there will be no significant changes from the list of candidates who already exist.

Previously, on Tuesday (13/8) night, the Golkar Party's plenary meeting decided to elect Agus Gumiwang as the Acting Chairperson (Plt.) of the Golkar Party replacing Airlangga Hartarto who declared his resignation as General Chair of the Golkar Party.

Furthermore, Agus Gumiwang announced the implementation of the national leadership meeting (rapimnas) and the national deliberation (munas) on August 20, 2024. Several things will be discussed in the rapid and national meetings, namely the political steps of the party to the determination of the General Chairperson of the Golkar Party.
