Golkar Party Chairman Bahlil Lahadalia has revealed that the party is\nnow beginning to assess the potential of legislative candidates for the\n2029 General Election. He stated that this process is commencing so that\nby 2027, Golkar can already engage in political work. \u201cBy the end of\nthis year, we will start calculating and inventorying the list of\nlegislative candidates so that by 2027 we are already doing political\nwork. Consolidation will be completed by 2026,\u201d Bahlil said during his\nspeech at the Golkar Party Academy Training of Trainers (TOT) event at\nthe Golkar Party Central Executive Board (DPP) office in West Jakarta,\nMonday (3\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n
Golkar Party Secretary General Sarmuji explained that there is a very\nlarge pool of potential legislative candidates to choose from. According\nto him, Golkar relies on individuals involved in the party\u2019s\ninfrastructure. \u201cWe have many organs within this party. The sources of\nlegislative candidates are very numerous. First, of course, we rely on\npeople who have been involved in the party infrastructure, DPP\nadministrators, provincial DPD administrators, and district DPD\nadministrators,\u201d Sarmuji clarified to reporters on the sidelines of the\nGolkar Party Academy Training of Trainers event.<\/p>\n
In addition to those involved in party management, Sarmuji mentioned\nthat individuals involved in Golkar\u2019s wing organisations could also be\npotential legislative candidates. He also noted that other Golkar\nnetworks could serve as sources for candidates. \u201cWe can also source from\nmass organisations affiliated with Golkar. We can also source from other\nGolkar networks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sarmuji stated that Golkar is currently training prospective\nlegislative members through cadre development programmes such as the\nongoing TOT event. It is hoped that the cadres participating in this\nevent will later possess the competence to carry out their duties as\nlegislative members. \u201cBut what we are ensuring today is that all\nprospective legislative members, both for the national DPR RI and\nregional levels, must undergo the cadre training organised by the Golkar\nParty. And this is the beginning. This TOT is the starting point. We\nwant Golkar members who become public officials to be those with\ncompetence, not just electoral competence to seek votes, but competence\nin carrying out their duties when they become public officials, whether\nin the executive or legislative branches,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/golkar-begins-screening-potential-legislative-candidates-for-2029-elections-by-year-end-1785750963", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
