Indonesia’s oldest and third-largest political party, the Golkar Party, is aiming to secure its chances of winning the 2024 presidential race by forming a big-tent alliance with other pro-government parties. The party is looking to realign its bargaining position with members of the ruling coalition to collectively support a candidate that will carry on President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s legacy. The party’s chairman, Airlangga Hartarto, said that they were seeking to gain the majority vote in next year’s presidential election. Alliance building in the lead-up to the 2024 elections has taken a new turn after two key pro-government groups announced that they would seek ways to stitch the blocs together to back the same Presidential candidate. This move signals an alignment shift within Indonesia’s political landscape.
