JAKARTA - General Chairperson (Ketum) of the Golkar Party Bahlil Lahadalia said his party would form a Pilkada working group (Pokja) to strengthen cadres who had previously been promoted by Golkar. "The Pilkada Pokja team is in order to accelerate the improvement or follow-up of what has been decided by the management period of Pak Airlangga," said Bahlil at the Golkar Party DPP Office, Jakarta, Thursday, August 22, which was confiscated by Antara. According to Bahlil, the current Golkar management will not change the composition of the names of candidates to the regions (cakada) that have been promoted by the party under Airlangga Hartarto's leadership. He assessed that the figures who were promoted were good and deserved to be encouraged to get many votes in their respective constituencies. "If there was also a change in figures that was carried out, it would take just a little adjustment. Of course, taking into account various kinds of input arguments and considerations, the end of which is how We in-Sya-Allah can win the Pilkada," said Bahlil. Bahlil also did not rule out the possibility that his staff would carry cadres or other figures to fight in the 2024 Pilkada. Previously, the Golkar era of Airlangga Hartarto's leadership had carried several big names to fight in regional elections in several big cities. Some of them, such as Ridwan Kamil, who will run in the Jakarta Pilkada and Ahmad Lutfhi who will run in the Central Java Pilkada (Central Java). Previously, Jusuf Hamka or Babah Alun had been promoted by Golkar to fight in Central Java. However, Babah Alun declared his resignation from Golkar in line with Airlangga's resignation from Golkar's leadership seat.
