Yerica Lai (The Jakarta Post) PREMIUM Jakarta ● Wed, March 29, 2023 An iftar gathering between Golkar Party chairman Airlangga Hartarto and leaders of the Coalition for Change and Unity (KPP) over the weekend has sparked speculations of a potential shift in the grand old party's strategy for the 2024 general elections. The speculations intensified on Tuesday after a Golkar executive revealed that during the meeting Airlangga was advised by former vice president Jusuf Kalla, who led Golkar between 2004 and 2009, to join the KPP, which is nominating former Jakarta governor Anies Baswedan for the 2024 presidential race. While it is no surprise for Kalla to give such an advice, for he is known as a long-time supporter of Anies, Airlangga's presence at the political gathering, which was attended by all the political leaders from the KPP alliance, was symbolic. He was seen sitting with Kalla, Democratic Party chairman Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono and Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) secretary-general Aboe Bakar Alhabsyi, after which he held a closed door meeting with NasDem Party chairman Surya Paloh, who once served as Golkar's chief patron. to Read Full Story SUBSCRIBE NOW Starting from IDR 55,500/month Unlimited access to our web and… Read full this story
