ゴルカル・テピス アイルランガ・ハルタルトが2024年大統領選挙でアイルランガ・ムハイミン・チームの議長に就任

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Golkar Party Ahmad Doli Kurnia dismissed the issue that Airlangga Hartarto would be the head of the Prabowo-Muhaimin pair winning team in the 2024 election.

"We have never or until now have never talked about options other than Pak Airlangga as a presidential candidate, especially as a successful team," said Doli as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 17.

According to him, until now his party has not discussed options other than Airlangga Hartarto to become a presidential candidate (candidate). He said the option as a candidate for vice president (cawapres) has not yet been discussed, let alone become a winning team.

"We have not discussed the option of becoming a vice presidential candidate, let alone such an option," he said.

For this reason, Doli asked all parties to wait for the official stance and political steps that Golkar would take. Because, Doli assessed that only his own party knew about the determinant of Golkar's position.

"I once said that the determinant of Golkar's position who knew exactly was Golkar himself," added Doli.

Even so, Doli thanked Cak Imin for being willing to establish intensive communication with Golkar.

"Cak Imin said Golkar is like this, like that. Golkar doesn't want to go there, doesn't want to come here. Yes, thank you for maybe being too intensive, we often communicate with Cak Imin," he added.

Previously, Cak Imin said PKB communicated with Golkar every day. He revealed that if PKB, Gerindra, and Golkar manage to reach a common ground, then a new coalition will be formed.

"Anyway, the coalition will automatically unite so that it will be stronger. If three have joined, it means that it will only be (the coalition)," said Cak Imin after visiting the residence of the 11th Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, Boediono, in Menteng, Central Jakarta, Wednesday. (17/5).

In addition, he said that his party submitted a proposal to Airlangga Hartarto to become the Chairman of the Prabowo-Muhaimin Winning Team. Nevertheless, Cak Imin stated that the discussion was still in process considering that what was more important was that the three parties merged.

"That's just a proposal. Of course we are waiting for a reaction. We want these 3, me, Pak Prabowo, Pak Airlangga, to unite," he said
