Golkar politician Indra Jaya Pilian said on Sunday that there was no possibility that Golkar chairman Aburizal Bakrie would run as a vice presidential candidate in the 2014 presidential election.
“Our stance is clear, ARB [Aburizal Bakrie] will be a presidential candidate and under no circumstances will he run for VP,” said Indra during a discussion called Who is The Dark Horse 2014, as quoted byAntara.
He admitted that the clear position meant his party was ready to face any outcome in the upcoming election.
“The worst scenario would be to lose,” he said.
However, he said that Golkar would not object if other parties wanted to endorse a Golkar members a vice presidential candidate.
“Golkar will not object it if a party member such as Jusuf Kalla for instance, runs is nominated as another party’s VP candidate,” he said, adding that if such a situation would occur, then the party member should resign from his/her position in Golkar.
He also believes that Golkar will always be aligned with the party or coalition in power, and will never side with the opposition.
Furthermore, he said that any government would always need backing from Golkar.
“Any president would needs Golkar members in their cabinet,” he said.
