political analyst predicts the Golkar Party, which is currently being rocked by an internal rift, risks becoming a minor party in the 2019 general elections.
Analyst Ardian Sopa of the Indonesian Survey Circle (LSI) said that unless the two conflicting factions of the party could reconcile their differences, Golkar would be hampered in preparing for the next major elections.
'There's no option for the two sides but to reconcile. The conflict has brought problems to both sides,' Ardian said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
Golkar, the largest political party in the opposition Red-and-White Coalition, has been struggling with internal conflicts since a breakaway faction of the party appointed former deputy chairman Agung Laksono as its own party leader in a national congress earlier this month.
