SUMMARY:
On Wednesday, March 18, two Golkar party members filed a law suit at the South Jakarta District Court against Law and Human Rights Minister Yasonna Laoly for exceeding his authority in issuing a decision regarding the ongoing split and leadership dispute within the party. The claimants, supporters of Aburizal Bakrie, alleged that Yasonna’s decision to recognize Agung Laksono as the Golkar’s legitimate leader was clearly motivated by partisan interests. Yasonna is a long-time member of the President’s political party, PDI-P.
