Deputy General Chairperson (Waketum) of the Golkar Party
Ahmad Doli Kurnia invited former Golkar cadres who were less fortunate in establishing a new party to rejoin Golkar's house.
Doli admits that there are alumni of Golkar cadres who have succeeded in establishing new parties, such as Surya Paloh establishing Nasdem and Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto in the Gerindra Party.
The chairman of Commission II of the House of Representatives said that it is important to consolidate all forces, including figures who have been alumni of the Golkar Party. Other political party forces have not been lucky, we are happy to invite you to return to the big house. together for consolidation,” said Doli at the virtual event Two Decades of Winning Golkar 2004–2024, Saturday (16/10).
Doli admits that this is the goal of the younger generation of Golkar cadres. According to him, it is hoped that the younger generation of Golkar can become a common home for members who are alumni.
"It's a kind of joke, yes, we young people in the Golkar Party imagine how Golkar will return to being a common house for cadres who have now left Golkar," said Doli.
On the same occasion, Doli said, Golkar is now preparing itself to be able to win in the 2024 General Election.
He emphasized that the Golkar Party is currently working hard to restore glory, as happened in 2004.
"We are currently working hard, so we feel that the generation that is ashamed if we can't repeat it after 20 years, the upcoming 2024 election can't win," he said.
Furthermore, Doli also said that one of the strong assets of his party is the prominent figure of Golkar cadres both at the center and in the regions. At least, according to Doli, this can increase the electability of Golkar at the central and regional levels.
"This is what we must strive for, that they are still considered prominent figures, especially in areas which of course also have their strengths to get support from the community," concluded Doli.
The head of the Democrat Party's Bakomstra, Herzaky Mahendra Putra,
gave Yusril Ihza Mahendra a harsh satire. He asked Yusril not to speak casually because this would only embarrass him.
This was made by Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono's (AHY) subordinate in response to Yusril's joke when he learned that the Democratic Party had submitted a number of documents to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights regarding the AD/ART lawsuit at the Supreme Court (MA). Yusril smiled because according to him, everyone knew that the judicial review was submitted to the Supreme Court, not to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
"It's better for Yusril to wash his face before speaking, rather than the origin of the sound. Be absorbed first, think carefully before speaking. Shame about his age and title," said Herzaky in his statement, which was received by Populis.id, Sunday (17/10/2021). Herzaky then explained about the documents submitted by the Democrats to the Kemenkumham a few days ago. Democrats believe the documents they submitted can help the Ministry of Law and Human Rights break the lawsuit for judicial review of AD/ART.
"We went to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to submit various pieces of evidence and documents, which in our opinion, can help the Ministry of Law and Human Rights counter the legal manipulation efforts carried out by Yusril through a judicial review at the Supreme Court. The respondent is the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, not us. So, we have to submit the documents to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, because we can't go to court directly," said Herzaky.
In front of PPP cadres, Ridwan Kamil says the campaign using billboards is out of date
West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil advised United Development Party (PPP) cadres to be innovative in campaigning such as campaigning in accordance with current conditions.
This was stated by Ridwan when he was a resource person for the PPP Alim Ulama National Conference at the Fadhlul Fadhlan Islamic Boarding School, Semarang, Sunday, October 17, 2021.
"The way to attract people's sympathy can no longer use conventional methods. I was observing from the first in 1955 until yesterday's election. Why is the percentage of Islamic parties insignificant even though Muslims are 90 percent but when they vote they don't go to Muslim parties," said the man who used to be Kang Emil in his official statement, Sunday, October 17, 2021?
He said that based on his understanding, the political persuasion of the party must be in accordance with the times. In addition, there is a generation gap that party cadres must understand.
"And I'm also still looking for why, whether Islamic parties are less persuasive, I can only answer what I understand," he said.
"In theory, my generation wears a watch, my child doesn't have a watch, that's an example of a generation gap. I learned this, there is a gap that parents don't understand with the current generation's constituents," continued Kang Emil.
According to him, nowadays people are more technology literate and consume all kinds of information via the internet, including social media.
"So this generation Z does not consume PPP through billboards, but through cellphones. So if PPP cadres still play billboards, it's outdated and billboards are expensive. If you want PPP to rise, invest in the new generation method. Change the way of political propaganda, stay away from conventional methods," said Ridwan Kamil.
In addition, Ridwan Kamil also advised PPP to invest in the best individuals if it wants to maintain competition in the national political arena. He also hopes that PPP will become an agent in maintaining the conduciveness of democracy in the country because the main problem of the Indonesian people today is that it is easy to fight.
"If you look at what Indonesia's problem is today, it's easy to fight. All developed countries are done with their fights," he said.
"When can we talk about rockets to the moon. So it's the party's job to educate the public about democracy. Second, public services, don't do it every five years. Third, seize power, this is the most crowded. Hopefully, the three functions of the party are balanced," continued Kang Emil.
