Summary
The lack of clarity of who will be Widodo’s next vice presidential candidate has caused internal friction inside the Golkar party. This situation has left several senior party members questioning Widodo’s loyalty to his closest ally.With less than 30 days to go before parties must register their presidential candidates, Widodo’s key coalition member has become divided on whether to fully back the president for a second term as the president eyes other candidates besides Golkar chairman, Airlangga Hartarto. The General Election Commission (KPU) has set its registration period 4-10 August 2018. A decision by Widodo to pick a VP outside of Golkar could negatively impact the president’s reelection campaign as the party might withhold its resources.
