NUSA DUA, BALI (Yosefardi) – Leaders and cadres of Golkar Party are asked to focus on supporting nomination of party chairman Aburizal Bakrie as president candidate in next year’s election.
“There is only one political scenario, which is supporting the nomination of party chairman as president candidate,” said Idrus Marham, secretary general of Golkar Party, in his address to legislator candidates from the party in Bali Saturday (June 22).
Idrus claimed that Aburizal Bakrie’s electability has continued upward trend. “Even in Bogor (West Java), Aburizal (right in the picture, with son Anin Bakrie) tops the list,” he said.
Asked about consecutive losses of Golkar Party candidate in presidential elections after Soeharto’s downfall in 1998, Idrus said Golkar run way too many political scenarios in the past.
