Provincial Leaders of Golkar Nominates Bakrie for 2014 President Election

Theindonesiatoday.com - While general election is years away, provincial leaders of Golkar Party have decided to nominate chairman Aburizal Bakrie as president candidate in 2014 election.

They, however, have yet to decide on running mate for Aburizal in the election. Some leaders tipped Pramono Edhie Wibowo, army chief of staff, who is also younger brother of First Lady Ani Yudhoyono.

Kompas.com reported this morning that the decision was made by leaders of provincial chapter of Golkar Party in a meeting in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan Saturday (Oct 15).

"Aburizal is the best (candidate). We will bring the issue in the national leadership meeting end of this month," said Ridwan Bae, head of Golkar Party for Southeast Sulawesi province.

Related to public criticism over Lapindo mudflow issue, some Golkar leaders defended Aburizal saying the family has spent Rp8 trillion or slightly below US$1 billion in handling the mudflow. ( haryanto@theindonesiatoday.com)
