Golkar Chairman Bahlil Lahadalia Aims for More Parliamentary Seats in 2029 Elections

JAKARTA, INDONESIAUPDATES.COM, – Chairman of the Golkar Party, Bahlil Lahadalia, has set an ambitious goal for the party to secure more parliamentary seats in the upcoming 2029 elections. He made this statement while officially opening the 2025 Golkar National Working Meeting (Rakernas) at the party’s headquarters in Slipi, West Jakarta, on Saturday (February 8, 2025).

One of the key topics to be discussed in the Rakernas is the party’s seat acquisition strategy.

“Our target is clearly above 102 seats. The exact number will be determined over time,” Bahlil told reporters.

A Measure of Leadership Success

According to Bahlil, the number of parliamentary seats won by a political party is a key indicator of the success of its leadership. A chairman is considered successful when the party experiences seat growth under their tenure.

“A leader’s intelligence alone is not enough to measure a party’s success. It’s about delivering tangible results, not just strategic thinking but also execution,” he emphasized.

Golkar’s Current Political Standing

Golkar emerged as the second-largest party in terms of votes and seats in the 2024 legislative elections. The party secured 23,208,488 votes and won 102 seats in the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI).

With Bahlil at the helm, Golkar is now focusing on strengthening its political influence and expanding its representation in the 2029 elections. The party aims to leverage its existing support base while formulating new strategies to increase its seat count in parliament.

As the 2029 elections approach, Golkar’s ability to achieve its ambitious goals will depend on its leadership, grassroots mobilization, and political alliances in the coming years.
