Ace stated that he had searched other faces in the declaration video and he believed there were only two Golkar cadres. He stated that it did not officially represent the Golkar Party. For the two cadres whose identity was known, Ace said the Golkar Ethics Council would immediately handle it.
The official attitude of Golkar`s support for Jokowi and Ma’ruf was decided through the Extraordinary National Conference that was attended by DPD (Regional Representative Council) cadres in the regency, city, province, and the DPP.
“This official attitude cannot be reduced by one or two legislative candidates,” Ace said.
