The Golkar national congress to elect the party leader left the speculative stories behind the decision of that the ruler of soeharto regime party to pro for the government.
Going flash back to the past presidential election, it's fresh to the netizen mind how golkar was the initiator of opposition coalition together with gerindra, pks, pan and ppp. One by one those parties changed the direction to boost the government instead and golkar is the lately one. Why awareness to support government comes late if not something else worth of pursuit by golkar?
What lies behind this motivation of Golkar incites the questions of secret mission and agreement between Jokowi and elite of golkar party.
Some political analysts explain that it's not basically by means of patriotism that Golkar left the coalition to be on the side of government stance. It is to naive also to say that pragmatism concept in term of aiming for minister position not the main agenda of golkar. Moreover, the palace is being issued of second reshuffle soon to be executed by jokowi and this could be the opportunity for golkar to involve in governance.
Definitely it is more than pure intention, golkar still aim to have position in government cabinet. In term of effectiveness of coalition, though it's fundamentally good to be supported by majority of political parties, the decision of jokowi nevertheless shuns out from his commitment to build slim coalition as stated in his initial presidential run 2014. Jokowi campaigned for slim coalition and stating the big coalition is the threshold for ineffective cabinet programs. On the contrary, after 2 years in presidency, political parties like PAN, Golkar turned to government. The question is how loyal jokowi to his commitment?
Take in note, Golkar has elected the new chairman, who was allegedly involved in president's name profiteering on the negotiation of freeport contract. Many considered it as the biggest scandal in country's history including the vice president Yusuf Kalla. Now after the turning of Golkar to government, how will be the case of novanto? Will president opt to be flexible on account of political reason?
Lately we are struck by the news of Jokowi's loyalists opening the new party PIKA. It is recognized that PIKA is purely established by jokowi's loyalist to support his run for incoming election 2019. This means a political vehicle is also something can be analyzed from the agreement of golkar and jokowi. Golkar is quite realistic to see the opportunity of jokowi for second time to be the president in 2019. There has not been another candidate to equate the popularity of this incumbent president. Considering the unsure political relationship with PDIP after certain disagreement of president with this democratic party, probably jokowi weld the support from big party like golkar to ensure for his second chance victory in next election.
If this is so, it's pretty much pity that president should focus much more on his task rather than his preparation for the next vie of election.
