JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Agung Laksono and his supporters associated in the presidium of the Golkar Party’s rescue council did not attend the Golkar chairmanship congress (munas) of Aburizal “Ical” Bakrie’s version resumed on Sunday (Nov. 30) night in Nusa Dua, Bali.
Instead, Agung and his supporters will hold their own version of the Golkar chairmanship congress in January 2015 in Jakarta.
Yorrys Raweyai, one of Agung’s supporters, told Kompas.com that the presidium would fully control the Golkar’s headquarters starting Dec. 1.
As reported earlier, Agung along with other Golkar leaders such as Priyo Budi Santoso, Zainuddin Amali, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, Yorrys Raweyai, Agun Gunandjar Sudarsa, Zainal Bintang and Ibnu
Mundzir have established the presidium of the Golkar Party’s rescue council.
The presidium has dismissed Ical and Idrus Marham from their position as Golkar Chairman and Secretary General respectively.
The Golkar chairmanship congress in Bali, meanwhile, will run until Dec. 4. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
