"Not Jokowi, Analysts Believe This Young Figure Has the Potential to Become the Chairman of Golkar Party"

Dream - The peak of Golkar Party leadership is about to change. Among the various figures circulating, President Joko Widodo's name is widely rumored to be running for chairman of the party that flourished during the New Order era. However, Executive Director of Indo Barometer, M Qodari, has a different view on the emergence of several names in the race for the chairman position of Golkar Party in the upcoming National Congress (munas) to be held in December 2024.

According to Qodari, the contest at the top leadership of the Golkar Party this year will be more interesting due to the emergence of Joko Widodo (Jokowi), who is currently serving as the president, as a figure who will occupy the number one position in the party symbolized by the banyan tree. "As a major party, Golkar is certainly interesting to be discussed and debated, and therefore it is then associated with Mr. Jokowi as a potential candidate to become the chairman of Golkar in the future," he said, Tuesday, March 12, 2024, as quoted from Liputan6.com.

Although widely associated as the strongest candidate, he suspects that Jokowi will not join Golkar, let alone occupy the position of Chairman. "Mr. Jokowi will not join the Golkar Party, he will not become the chairman and he will remain a figure above all political parties," Qodari speculated.

He mentioned names that are considered quite potential to enter as the Chairman of the Golkar Party still come from the Jokowi family. Among the circulating names, he believed that the potential vice presidential candidate (cawapres) Gibran Rakabuming Raka has a very big opportunity. "In my opinion, there is one candidate who is also very potential to become the future Chairman of Golkar, namely Gibran Rakabuming Raka," he said.

"He expressed that Gibran has the potential, considering his position that is just a step away from becoming the vice president, especially since Golkar has always been a part of the government. 'We know that Golkar Party has a strong tendency to have a foothold, to have access in the government, not only as ministers but also as the vice president because Golkar is a party whose ideology is creation and works, and always oriented to be a part of the government,' Qodari explained."

According to Qodari, the Golkar Party in the future must be oriented towards young people because the majority of voters come from the young generation. This is the challenge for the Golkar Party, so it must be filled with many young people. "The Golkar Party is an old party, a large party, and if we talk about voters today and voters in the future, I think the Golkar Party faces the challenge of how to become a party that has an orientation towards young people and has figures who also come from young people," he said.

Qodari estimates that this issue has also been realized by Golkar politicians. The signs can be seen from the presence of regeneration, both from the second and third generations of Golkar officials. "There are many young people in Golkar who are the successors of their parents who have been long involved in the Golkar Party," he said.

"With young people leading, Qodari assesses that the electoral prospects of the Golkar party will significantly increase in the future, considering the experience of the 2024 Presidential Election, which was won by the Prabowo-Gibran pair with the main support from young people. 'We see from various surveys and exit polls that indeed the Prabowo-Gibran voters are the majority in all age groups, but specifically for the millennial and Generation Z generations, the proportion is much thicker compared to the baby boomer or Generation X generations, so that is an indication, in my opinion, that Gibran has a very strong appeal to young people,' he explained."

For Qodari, Gibran is the right figure to lead Golkar because he has the magnetism to attract Golkar's voice with the paradigm and orientation of advancing Indonesia in the future in 2045. "So if we talk about electoral attraction, Gibran is a magnet for young people in politics and of course it can be a variable to increase the votes for the Golkar Party if Gibran is made the chairman," he said.
