BOGOR – The Head of the Regional Leadership Council (DPD) of the Golkar Party in Tangerang City, H Sachrudin, opened the political education, consolidation, and orientation activities for the 2025-2030 period Golkar Party Tangerang City administrators on Sunday, at the Taman Bukit Palem Resort, Caringin District, Bogor Regency.

The event, held from December 28-30, was attended by 112 administrators of the Tangerang City Party for the 2025-2030 period, administrators of mass organizations, and representatives of the Golkar Sub-district Administrators (PK).

On that occasion, Sachrudin, who also serves as the Mayor of Tangerang, expressed his appreciation to the administrators of the Golkar DPD in Tangerang City for organizing this event at the end of the year.

“On behalf of the Tangerang City Government, I express appreciation for holding this political education, consolidation, and orientation. This is because the Golkar Party is a government partner and a state asset whose quality has been recognized since the New Order era,” said Sachrudin.

According to him, he strongly supports efforts to enhance the capacity of the Golkar Party administrators in Tangerang City. It is hoped that in the future, synergy and collaboration with the Tangerang City Government will improve.

“Building Golkar is the same as building the nation. As the Mayor of Tangerang, I want to invite Golkar to synergize in building Tangerang City,” stated Sachrudin.

Need for Active Community Role in Development

He added that without the support and participation of political organizations, mass organizations, all layers of society, and the private sector, the government certainly cannot do much.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Committee for Political Education, Consolidation, and Orientation of the Golkar Party in Tangerang City, Hosbeni Gonzala, stated that the event would feature several speakers. Among them are the Deputy Chairman of the Golkar Central Executive Board (DPP), Idrus Marham, and the Secretary of the Golkar DPD for Banten Province, Bahrul Ulum.

“As much as 30 percent of the 2025-2030 Golkar DPD administrators are new faces and 60 percent are still young. Therefore, this political education is very important in determining Golkar’s victory in Tangerang City in the future,” said the man familiarly known as bang Degon.

The area has a long history as a center of the Sundanese Kingdom and later served as a favored retreat for colonial administrators due to its cooler climate. Today, it remains a major agricultural and tourism destination, famous for its tea plantations and the presidential palace at Istana Bogor.

It began after the violent suppression of the communist movement and was characterized by political stability, rapid economic development, and severe restrictions on political dissent. The era ended with the Asian Financial Crisis and mass protests, leading to Suharto’s resignation and a transition to democracy.

The Golkar Party is a major political organization in Indonesia, originally established in 1964 by the military as a coalition of functional groups (Sekber Golkar) to counter communist and Islamic political influences. It was transformed into the dominant ruling party during President Suharto’s New Order regime (1966-1998), serving as a key political vehicle to maintain power. Since Indonesia’s democratization, it has remained a significant, though no longer dominant, secular-nationalist party in the multi-party system.
