Political communication observer at Esa Unggul University, Jamiluddin Ritonga, believes that the Golkar Party will always be hit by the issue of the Munaslub during Bahlil Lahadalia as General Chair of Golkar.

Bahkan, kata Jamiluddin, terpasan isu terpasan isu tersebut juga diakui kader senior Partai Golkar, Ridwan Hisjam. Menurut Ridwan, isu Munaslub Golkar bukan baru muncul belakang ini, namun sudah lama ada boost munaslub dari kader di root grass.

"The recurrence of the Munaslub issue in Golkar indicates that there is a leadership problem in Golkar, especially the ketum. This problem could have surfaced since the beginning Bahlil emerged as a caketum," said Jamiluddin in Jakarta, Friday, August 8.

According to him, this is logical considering the emergence of Bahlil as a caketum is beyond expectations.

"Bahlil as a junior in Golkar suddenly became the strongest candidate as ketum. This is unusual in Golkar considering that so far he has emerged as a candidate for senior Golkar elites," said Jamiluddin.

Therefore, he considered, the emergence of Bahlil as a caketum was not the desire of the grassroots of Golkar cadres, and not also from the internal elite of Golkar. Bahlil, said Jamiluddin, was actually considered a deposit from the authorities at that time.

"The impression is that the Golkar elite has not been able to reject the authorities' wishes. So, since the beginning Bahlil is not the caketum that Golkar cadres want. Therefore, the ripples of the issue of the munaslub are likely to come back as long as Bahlil becomes the chairman of Golkar," he concluded.
