Hans David Tampubolon, Jakarta – Golkar Party secretary general Idrus Marham urges all of his party members not to get involved in the National Democrat mass organization.

"For those who are already involved, we ask them to resign [from National Democrat] for consolidation," Idrus told a press conference in Jakarta on Wednesday. "It is very clear that Nasdem [National Democrat] is aiming to become a political party," he added.

Idrus also said that he suspected the mass organization was established as nothing but a tool to serve the political grudge of some party members.

The National Democrat was founded by Surya Paloh, who lost the latest Golkar chairmanship race to Aburizal Bakrie.
