TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Former Golkar Chairman and current Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla said that the sudden drop of Golkar’s electability is mainly caused Setya Novanto’s bad reputation. JK, as he is known, suggested that Golkar must be led by a person with a good reputation.
“The declining poll reflects Golkar’s image. Electing a clean leader will improve the party’s electability,” said the Indonesia's Vice President on Tuesday, November 2017.

The electability of Golkar according to a poll conducted by Poltracking Indonesia suggests that the party’s electability is currently third behind the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) and Gerindra with a 10 percent electability level.
As previously reported, a Golkar extraordinary national congress (Munaslub) is set to be held in the next following days. Jusuf Kalla said that a munaslub to replace Setya Novanto must be held whatever the pretrial motions that Setya will submit in the future.

“[Setya Novanto] has a bad reputation. A pretrial motion does not judge the substance of a case, but merely the process,” said Jusuf Kalla.
