KALLA : GOLKAR NEEDS TO PURSUE SPECIAL WAYS TO WIN 2009 POLLS
Palu, July 18 (ANTARA) - Golkar Chairman M Jusuf Kalla called on regional Golkar Party leaders to change their approaches in seeking the people's sympathy to win the 2009 general elections.
"Golkar needs to pursue special ways to become a winner in the 2009 General Elections," Kalla said here on Friday when speaking to members of the Central Sulawesi Golkar Party general election team.
Holding a meeting with cadres and sympathizers of Golkar in one place was not a campaign but just a get-together, he said.
But during election campaigns Golkar should publicize its programs, especially for those who are not Golkar cadres or sympathizers, he said.
He called on Golkar cadres to make breakthroughs to win the sympathy of as many people as possible for the 2009 general elections.
Kalla said the 2009 polls would be the most interesting polls in the country's history because it would involve many parties and directly choose figures for the country's leaders and legislators.
"In the 2004 polls, Golkar won 34.6 percent of the votes, and I hope that in the upcoming general elections, Golkar in Central Sulawesi will win more than that," he said.
The second direct presidential and legislative elections in Indonesia will be held in 2009 and 34 political parties have passed the factual verification process and are entitled to join the polls.
