Golkar vows to groom 10 million party members
The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Tue, 11/03/2009 2:00 PM | National
In a bid to revive its past glory, the Golkar Party will groom 10 million members over the next five years to lead the party’s advance, Antara state news agency has reported.
Golkar’s chief advisor Akbar Tandjung said the party members selected for the regeneration program should have grassroots support.
“They are the party’s avant-garde who will lead the party’s struggle in the community. With more competitors arising, Golkar needs members who are committed to restoring its pride,” Akbar said at the opening of a conference held by the party’s Riau chapter in Pekanbaru on Tuesday.
Golkar lost to the Democratic Party both in the legislative and presidential elections this year, but decided to join the coalition government after electing Aburizal Bakrie as their new chairman last month.
