AKBAR: GOLKAR NEEDS TO REPAIR PARTY'S INTERNAL RELATIONS

Jember, Apr 16 (ANTARA) - Former General Chairman of Golkar Party Akbar Tanjung asked his party to repair the party's internal relations in the wake of the party's declining vote tally in the recent legislative general election.

"A repair in the party's internal relations should be made in order to get a better public response," he said on the sidelines of his visit to Al-Qodiri Islamic Boarding School in Jember district, East Java, on Thursday evening.
He saw that a slump in the party's vote tally compared to that in the 2004 general election has gained increased attention from the party's management and cadres in the party's regional and central chapters, so that an expansion of consolidation would later become solid.

The Golkar party should be able to produce qualified cadres, so that there will be a system linking the achievement, dedication, loyalty and better image," he said.
"Golkar should be responsive to the aspirations of the people, so that the basis of of Golkar masses will not turn to other political parties," he said.

The next political competition, he added, will be tight, so that the Golkar party should be able to draw up a strong political strategy in the upcoming presidential election.

He was optimistic that if Golkar party was repaired and the party's consolidation enhanced, the basis of the party's masses could be like that in the golden new order era.

"All executives of the Golkar party needs to strengthen solidarity as described in the Indonesia's current political map.
