President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo believes that the Golkar Party is a mature political institution when it comes to making any decision.

The Golkar Party must also be more careful in choosing Azis’ replacement, especially after Alex Noerdin and Azis were both caught in corruption cases.

Lodewijk Freidrich Paulus, is expected almost certainly to replace Azis Syamsuddin as deputy speaker of the DPR from the Golkar faction. It is believed there will be no resistance from party members.

Shifting dynamics between political elites amid an uncontrolled pandemic is seemingly related to preparations for the 2024 legislative and presidential elections.

The contestation for the Golkar Party chairmanship in the national conference, which will begin on Tuesday (3/12/2019) in Jakarta, is predicted to be fierce.

The President surely made political calculations in replacing his ministers with only around 18 months left in his term.

After the Golkar Party decided to appoint Airlangga Hartarto as its new chairman, several strategic posts become the focus of attention.

A new general chairman will be chosen at the Munaslub to replace Novanto, who has been named as a suspect in corruption case.
