Golkar Party Doc

JAKARTA - Communication expert Emrus Sihombing, assesses that the West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil (RK) has chosen to join the Golkar Party. Ridwan Kamil's entry into Golkar will both benefit both parties.

This is certainly very good and positive for both parties. I see, RK is a observant figure, to get closer and join Golkar, because it is a party that is very suitable for him," Emrus said in his statement, Thursday, January 19.

According to him, Ridwan Kamil is right to choose Golkar because this banyan party is the only party in Indonesia that is the most democratic compared to other parties. In addition, said Emrus, the dialects and exchanges of opinions in Golkar are also very elegant and egalitarian between one cadre and another.

"If in other parties there are central and full power figures, then the cadres will definitely follow what the instructions of the central figure is. But in Golkar it is not like that," said Emrus. Political communication expert at Pelita Harapan University assessed that Golkar is an egalitarian because there are factions that have power from one another, which makes equality in the party body. "So, whoever is the leader of Golkar, must be able to lead democratically. Like the current General Chairman of Golkar, Pak Airlangga Hartarto, who is also observant about the opportunity to join RK. This is certainly different from other parties, even many figures in other parties who suddenly enter seem to want to ask for 'protection' and specific intentions," he explained.

"So I see very accurately that RK's decision to join Golkar. RK is an open, democratic figure, that can be accepted by all levels of society, especially in West Java," continued Emrus.

Emrus also saw how to approach and communicate RK to the people of West Java. According to him, RK is a dialogical leader and always gives awards to each other to the community. This is also the same as in Golkar and the same as Airlangga Hartarto. So this is indeed what they have agreed on," said Emrus

Then in terms of character and how to communicate with RK when leading West Java, said Emrus, it is also the same as the character that applies and is in Golkar so far.

"I see, almost certainly Golkar will carry RK in the second period as Governor of West Java," said Emrus.

Meanwhile, Golkar, according to him, is also very observant in showing its expertise as a major political party. Where they can accept extraordinary figures to enter the party.

"The combination of the figures in Golkar so far I have seen not because they have problems, but because of achievements. Especially for RK, I see this is a pearl from West Java for Golkar," said Emrus.

As for other advantages for Golkar, said Emrus, with the influence of RK's leadership which is acceptable for the people of West Java, Golkar in the future will be able to gain votes in the upcoming presidential and legislative elections. Moreover, West Java is the province with the most granaries in the 2024 General Election. Emrus believes that RK will help vote for Golkar, especially in Sundanese land.

"This RK is a character who is liked, appreciated, respected and close to the people of West Java. This will be very suitable for the figure of Airlangga Hartarto," he concluded.
