Golkar goings on<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
The fact it was decided at the recently concluded Golkar
\nconvention to postpone electing the party's presidential
\ncandidate until after the general elections has led to the
\ndisappointment of some of Golkar's potential presidential
\ncandidates.<\/p>\n
As a result the convention has been thought not as a means for
\nthe party to boost its popularity but rather as a political ploy
\nthat reeks of the old tricks that Golkar used to employ.<\/p>\n
At first, the convention was expected to serve as a
\nbreakthrough in Indonesia's political practices. Unfortunately,
\nthe postponement has led to criticisms from within the party
\nitself with some quarters hinting at suspected unfair practices
\nduring the convention. If these unfair practices continue, the
\nresult will not be good for Golkar in the upcoming general
\nelections.<\/p>\n
Earlier a potential presidential candidate withdrew from the
\nconvention. This was the right step to take because other parties
\nare also ready to nominate the country's political figures as
\ntheir presidential candidates.<\/p>\n
