        "summary": "The General Secretary of Golkar Party, Muhammad Sarmuji, has expressed no objection to the proposal to limit the term of party leaders to two periods, noting that leadership in Golkar has routinely changed without anyone completing two full terms. However, he emphasised that the more pressing issue is improving internal party democracy to foster diverse ideas and reduce reliance on a single figure. This comes amid a KPK study highlighting governance issues in political parties and recommending revisions to the 2011 Political Parties Law, including term limits to ensure proper cadre development.",
        "content": "<p>Golkar Party General Secretary Muhammad Sarmuji has responded to the\nproposal for limiting the term of political party leaders. According to\nhim, his party has no objection to the discourse on restricting the\ngeneral chairman\u2019s position to just two terms.<\/p>\n<p>This is because, according to him, leadership in the Golkar Party\nroutinely changes. \u201cEven up to now, there has not been a single person\nwho has been able to complete two full terms (leading) in Golkar,\u201d he\nstated on Friday, 24 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>However, Sarmuji assessed that the proposal to limit the term of the\nparty general chairman is not the main issue. According to him, the\nissue of internal party democracy is more substantive to discuss.<\/p>\n<p>He said that if the internal party environment implements quality\ndemocratic practices, it is not impossible that various ideas will\nemerge. \u201cThe party will not depend on one figure alone, but there will\nbe many thoughts that can be absorbed,\u201d said this Chairman of the Golkar\nParty Faction in the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, a study by the Corruption Eradication Commission\u2019s\nMonitoring Directorate found at least four points of problems in\npolitical party governance. The four points are the absence of a roadmap\nfor political education implementation, integrated cadre system\nstandards, financial reporting systems, and supervisory\ninstitutions.<\/p>\n<p>This anti-corruption agency also formulated several recommendations\nfor improving political party governance. One of them is through\nrevisions to Law Number 2 of 2011 on Political Parties, particularly\nArticle 29 on political recruitment.<\/p>\n<p>The study proposes the establishment of a limit on the leadership\nterm of political party general chairmen. \u201cTo ensure the implementation\nof cadre development, regulation of the limit on the general chairman\u2019s\nleadership term to a maximum of two periods of management is needed,\u201d\nstated the KPK report on 20 April 2026.<\/p>",
