        "summary": "The Golkar Party has expressed no objections to the Corruption Eradication Commission's (KPK) proposal to limit the tenure of political party leaders to a maximum of two terms, noting that its leadership has historically rotated every period without anyone serving two full terms. Secretary General Sarmuji emphasised the importance of high-quality internal democracy to prevent over-reliance on a single figure and ensure diverse ideas reflecting societal views. The KPK's recommendation, based on academic findings, aims to improve party regeneration, reduce political costs, and close loopholes for corruption in the political sector.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, VIVA \u2013 The Golkar Party has affirmed that it has no issues\nwith the proposal from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK)\nregarding the limitation of the general chairman\u2019s tenure in political\nparties to a maximum of two terms.<\/p>\n<p>This stance was expressed by the Secretary General of the Golkar\nParty, Sarmuji, in response to the KPK\u2019s proposal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have no problem if there is a limit of two terms (for the\nposition of general chairman),\u201d he said at the Golkar DPP headquarters\nin Jakarta on Thursday, 23 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Sarmuji explained that his statement was not without reason, as the\nchairman of the Golkar Party has never served up to two terms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGolkar\u2019s leadership changes every period. Even to this day, there\nhas not been a single person who has managed to serve two full terms in\nthe Golkar Party. So if it is limited to two terms, that is actually an\nissue that does not affect Golkar,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n<p>He also assessed that the most important thing at present is how the\ninternal democracy in a party is of quality.<\/p>\n<p>Because, if the internal democracy is of quality, a party will not\ndepend solely on one particular figure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will not depend on one figure alone, but there are many ideas\nthere that can be absorbed, and those ideas also reflect the thoughts\nthat are developing in society,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the KPK proposed that the tenure of the general chairman\n(Ketum) of political parties be limited to a maximum of two terms. This\nis intended to prevent corruption in the political sector.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal is included in the study on political party governance\nprepared by the KPK\u2019s Directorate of Monitoring. The anti-corruption\nagency stated that the recommendation is based on findings and academic\narguments related to improving the political system and efforts to close\ncorruption loopholes.<\/p>\n<p>KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said that limiting the leadership\ntenure in parties is one of the important points arising from the\nresults of that study.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the findings is in point eight, regarding the limitation of\nterms for a political party chairman, which of course also has an\nacademic basis,\u201d Budi said at the KPK\u2019s Red and White Building in\nJakarta on Thursday, 23 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the study found that regeneration within the party\nstructure has not been running optimally. That condition, he said,\naffects the high cost of politics.<\/p>",
