REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Golongan Karya Party (Golkar) has brought up names that are likely to be promoted to become candidates for governor (cagub) of Jakarta. However, the party with the symbol of the banyan tree has still not determined which party will be used as a coalition in Jakarta's local elections (local elections).

Secretary of the Regional Leadership Council (DPD) of the Jakarta Golkar DKI Party Basri Baco said that his party could not field a candidate alone in the Jakarta elections.

Because, the seats won by the Golkar Party in the legislative election (election) of DKI Jakarta 2024 did not reach 20 percent. This means that the Golkar Party must coalesce with other parties to carry the Jakarta cagub.

“We can't get ahead on our own, we only have 10 seats. We need 10-12 (seats) more, at a minimum. So it should be together with one major party or two moderate parties,” he said in Puncak area, Bogor, Friday (26/4/2024).
