JAKARTA. The Golkar Party has promised not to complicate the candidacy of Jakarta Governor Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama by attempting to intervene in his choice of deputy governor after it officially threw its support behind the incumbent governor. The party will let Ahok chose his own running mate, Golkar Jakarta executive board head Fayakhun Andriadi said. Ahok has chosen Financial and Asset Management Board (BPKAD) head Heru Budi Hartono as his running mate. “We don’t have any deputy governor candidates for Ahok. We only want Ahok to have the easiest candidacy as possible. Ahok can choose a deputy governor himself; he knows best. We only want to see the results of Ahok’s work,” Fayakhun said during a press conference on Friday.
