Pros and cons continue to emerge in response to the removal of Musa Rajekshah, also known as Ijeck, from his position as Chairman of the Golkar Party’s Regional Leadership Council (DPD) for North Sumatra Province.

Many consider the policy of the Golkar Central Executive Board (DPP) to remove Ijeck and replace him with Ahmad Doli Kurnia Tandjung as the Acting Chairman of Golkar North Sumatra to be damaging to public sympathy.

This is not only because Ijeck is known for his achievements, such as leading Golkar to become the champion in North Sumatra, but also because the DPP’s policy is seen as inappropriate, particularly as the removal occurred during the scheduling of the XI Regional Conference (Musda) of Golkar North Sumatra.

Instead of ensuring the success of the Golkar North Sumatra Musda and appointing Doli Kurnia as Acting Chairman, the move is considered a blunder.

It was stated that the DPP Golkar was wrong to remove Ijeck. According to this view, Golkar’s General Chairman, Bahlil Lahadalia, made a misstep in deciding to remove Ijeck from his position.

From this perspective, this removal harms the Golkar Party because Ijeck has been prevented from advancing again in the Musda. “If we look at it, Golkar made a wrong move in removing Ijeck from the North Sumatra DPD chairmanship,” it was said.

It was also stated that the people of North Sumatra are actually sympathetic to Ijeck, not the Golkar Party. Because of this, the Golkar Party is loved by the people of North Sumatra, as evidenced by winning the most votes in the 2024 General Election.

It was said that public weariness with political party elites arises because they often make empty promises. However, it was noted that Ijeck sincerely worked to build up the Golkar Party.

Moreover, this is supported by Ijeck’s tendency to help the community. Because of this, the public cannot forget the Golkar Party and Ijeck.

“Because he built up Golkar North Sumatra. People sympathize with Golkar because of Ijeck. Ijeck genuinely acts for the community. Many people have been helped by Ijeck. Not only during disasters,” it was said.

Furthermore, Ijeck’s success in managing youth institutions or organizations was also highlighted. Not only that, Ijeck has also provided excellent coaching in the sports fields he led.

“Ijeck is an extraordinary figure and leader who protects all his members,” it was expressed.

There is a belief that in the future, the Golkar Party will experience a drastic or ‘free fall’ decline in votes, as a result of political maneuvers being thwarted by the political interests of a ruler.

All this happened because Ijeck’s popularity in North Sumatra is considered a threat to his political opponents. It was further suggested that the Golkar Party should have removed Bahlil Lahadalia, because his leadership has sparked a number of controversies.

“I am sure and believe that with this removal, Golkar’s votes in North Sumatra will collapse. The suitable person to be removed is its chairman, Bahlil Lahadalia,” it was explained.

Golkar Party

The Golkar Party is a major political party in Indonesia, originally established in 1964 as a federation of functional groups by the military to counter communist influence. It became the dominant political vehicle and electoral machine for the authoritarian New Order regime of President Suharto, holding power from the late 1960s until 1998. Following the democratic reforms of 1999, it has transitioned into a civilian political party and remains a significant conservative force in Indonesian politics.

North Sumatra Province

North Sumatra Province is located on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, and is home to the significant cultural and natural site of Lake Toba—the world’s largest volcanic lake, formed by a massive supervolcanic eruption around 74,000 years ago. The region is also the heartland of the Batak people, whose distinct traditions, architecture (notably the boat-shaped *rumah adat*), and Christian-majority faith shape its cultural identity. Historically, it contained several influential kingdoms like Srivijaya and later the Sultanate of Deli, with the coastal city of Medan emerging as a major economic hub during the colonial plantation era.

Regional Leadership Council (DPD)

The Regional Leadership Council (DPD) is the upper house of Indonesia’s bicameral legislature, established in 2004 as part of post-Suharto constitutional reforms to better represent the country’s diverse provinces. Its members are elected from each province, but it holds limited legislative authority, primarily dealing with bills related to regional autonomy.

Central Executive Board (DPP)

The Central Executive Board (DPP) is the highest executive body of the Chinese Communist Party, responsible for implementing the decisions of the National Congress and the Central Committee. It plays a crucial role in guiding the Party’s daily work and ensuring the implementation of major policies and principles.

XI Regional Conference (Musda)

Based on the name, “XI Regional Conference (Musda)” does not refer to a specific permanent place or cultural site, but rather to an event—specifically the 11th (XI) Regional Conference. “Musda” is a common Indonesian acronym for *Musyawarah Daerah*, meaning Regional Deliberation or Congress, typically held by political or social organizations.

Therefore, it is a periodic meeting whose history and significance would be tied to the specific organization that hosts it, rather than having a fixed historical location like a monument or temple.

2024 General Election

The “2024 General Election” is not a specific place or cultural site, but a major political event. In the United Kingdom, it is a national election held on July 4, 2024, where voters elected members to the House of Commons, determining the country’s next government and Prime Minister. Its history is part of the UK’s long democratic tradition, with general elections typically held at least every five years as mandated by law.

Bahlil Lahadalia

Bahlil Lahadalia is not a known historical place or cultural site. It appears to be a reference to **Bahlil Lahadalia**, the current **Indonesian Minister of Investment** who took office in 2021. Therefore, there is no historical or cultural summary for a location by that name.

Musa Rajekshah (Ijeck)

Based on available information, “Musa Rajekshah (Ijeck)” does not appear to refer to a widely recognized historical place or cultural site. It is most commonly associated with **Musa Rajekshah**, a popular Indonesian comedian and actor whose nickname is **Ijeck**.

Therefore, there is no specific history or cultural significance to summarize for a location by this name. The reference is almost exclusively to the personal brand of the entertainer.
